I’ve been getting her a new pair each spring for the last 3 years and each year she wears them to death. They are very comfortable and never cause blisters, they don’t wear out easily, and they can be easily cleaned. One time we even got a ton of sap on a pair (white ones) and i thought for sure they were…[Read more]

It’s already basically done (just needs snaps) in 0-3 months from a knit fabric so it should accommodate the fluffy cloth diaper bum. I’ll have to remember to size up any woven ones I make!

But alas, he’s a boy and won’t be doing much skirt wearing ;). I’m sewing all of his clothes so there’s no time to spare! (10 weeks left!)

Out of curiosity, are you including the badminton skort, plus the free patterns; lazy days skirt, and onstage tutu? Somehow despite being an Oliver + S fanatic I’ve only…[Read more]

If only I didn’t have so many other things that needed to be sewn first. I’ll have fun watching 🙂

I’ve recently decided to only sew things she really needs or has a particular occasion for. I just sewed her a new Easter/birthday dress even though she needs a new dress like she needs a hole in the head, but I feel…[Read more]

Ok, now I’m excited 🙂 I love sewing for my boy and with another boy on the way I’m thrilled to have more high quality patterns for them!

I’ve got a list a mile long for my upcoming boy and have sewn exactly nothing for him as of yet 🙁 He’s due mid June so there’s still some time, which is what I keep telling myself and subsequently putting his sewing off!

And for sure any charming boy patterns!

My Lily will be 5 next month and I’m scratching my head wondering where the time went. I’ve plans to sew her a birthday/Easter dress plus an Easter suit set for my boy. But that must wait until my current project is completed, a silk dupioni mother-of-the bride dress for a customer.

Anyone have any thoughts on what they may be? I’m still holding out hope for a dressy blazer but I know there are two big strikes against it; 1. Boy 2. Higher difficulty level. A mama can still hope right? 😉

I feel like all too often I’m in a race with myself to sew things faster then I can think them up. I’m never going to catch up on the sewing list so really I need to quit trying!
