If you are sewing two sets anyway…why not do a sleepover set in flannel, a pair of flannel shorts, and a field trip interlock top that all coordinate? Over the holidays my kids spend a lot of the early evening and mornings playing in their pajamas. My kids tend to sleep in tshirts but then put their warm flannel sleepover set over when they…[Read more]

Oh…so many ideas! You ladies don’t disappoint…. It is so fun to dream of all the dresses I “could” make. The girl has decided on spots….black with white spots to be specific. She wants a “twirly skirt”….of course in this case I really want to make the Hide and Seek.

Oh, Sarvi! I love that idea (and…a new website browse).

Heidi, good point! I have that one and plan to use it. I never have great luck with knits holding up as well as wovens, but will absolutely make a few.

Thanks!

Not sketchbook….but the back darts on the art museum work really well on my girl for school shorts and she’s got a round derrière. I also just add patch pockets.

Oh my! I can only imagine all that you must be feeling right now! There are no good words for something so scary as you all must be navigating. But, know your family is in my thoughts now. I am rooting for you all.

They are low but it is more pronounced on the smaller sizes. It is easy to lay the pattern pieces over each other and omit the pockets of you wanted to.

The pattern is great, though! Enjoy!

Grrr….put buttonholes on the wrong side of an art museum vest! AFTER already making a second set of fronts because I wasn’t happy with my welts the first time around!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I ended up spending some time looking at ones online and just drawing my own to get the specs right. (I was starting to feel like Goldilocks trying to find a pattern!)

It isn’t perfect, but good enough for a five year old boy in constant motion! And, he liked it and sat still for me to learn to tie it!

Thanks Nicole! How funny that that is the liberty print I’m using for his tie in a different color to go with a very similar striped vest!

I just made this skirt. Not sure about the pants, but the skirt was pretty straight forward.

So it goes all the way through both layers?

It would be too late for this one…it is for preschool graduation. But, I’m planning another in a flax linen for a wedding mid-June and would LOVE to know how before then! YES PLEASE!!

I ended up under-stitching everywhere I could reach on this one, and I think it is going to work out fine. Now to pick buttons and a shorts pattern. I’m on…[Read more]

Yep, High Springs. We make it to Manatee Springs several times a year. Do you ever hit up that quilt shop in Trenton?

That blue is gorgeous! Your profile pic looks like we are neighbors!
