Please join us for our Cinema/Hide-and-Seek Dress Sew-Along the week of October 13th.

Rita is sharing how she attached the Bear Carrier to the Penguin Backpack (both are found in the Little Things to Sew book) to create an innovative doll carrier backpack.

Cindy from Siestas & Sewing stopped by to tell us all about her favorite Oliver + S pattern, the Sandbox Pants.

Agata drew inspiration from her kantha quilts for this Hide-and-Seek Dress with quilted yoke, an idea that could be used on the Liesl + Co Cinema Dress as well.

Introducing our new Liesl + Co sewing pattern, the Bento Tee. It’s a boxy t-shirt pattern that provides lots of versatility while being very stylish.

Here is a gathering of smocked Oliver + S dresses. If you’re willing to invest the time, adding smocking to a garment can achieve spectacular results.

I’m just back from the Smocking Arts Guild of America convention, and I’m excited to share a few thoughts with you occasioned by my experience.

Here is a layered look perfect for fall and winter. It’s a customized Oliver + S Sketchbook Shirt and Field Trip Raglan T-shirt.

Today’s Friday feature is a dress inspired by Yves St. Laurent’s Mondrian-inspired dress. (How meta!)

Introducing the newest Liesl + Co. sewing pattern: the Girl Friday Culottes. These aren’t the culottes of old. They’re much cooler!

This week’s color palette is inspired by a vintage black and white self-portrait photograph.

School’s back in session and so is the school dress code. You can sew school uniforms that meet the grade using Oliver + S patterns. Here is a gathering of inspiration for every season of the school year.
