Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI Like both of those. I have a children’s corner one that is just like the Anna Maria, except it has smocking. I really love Hillary with all those sleeve options. I will really need to find some less expensive similar fabric to mock up various sleeves. I’m finding it difficult to visualize how I want the fabric to behave.

Well that was a well kept surprise! I’m intrigued by the dress too. I like the pants actually. It’s refreshing to see something not skinny. In linen they would make a nice travel wardrobe. I also kind of like that jacket. It’s so retro! I’m finally starting to see the charm in this 80s revival. And,it looks like the one worn by the 2014 girl of…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoShe is 4, so 4 1/2 for the wedding. She’s pretty tall and as the youngest, quite grown up for her age.
@sarvi, that is such a truly excellent idea I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before! I am actually kicking myself in the behind right now. It would also help with the photos.
@reeni, in theory, I would like to be inspired by the brides…[Read more]

The bridesmaids will be in a deep blue, but I haven’t seen the dresses. The fabric I bought was on the cover of sew beautiful magazine in a reproduction of a dress worn by Caroline Kennedy in the famous Avedon…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoSorry! I meant to say I splurged on this dreamy stuff: http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=962522810499625&Store_id=198&page_id=23&Item_ID=31939
I do have a Pinterest board here: http://www.pinterest.com/melanieew/flower-girl/. but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it.…[Read more]

Very pretty. I think I’d do a fairy tale with that overlaying a color that echoes the brides-maid dresses. But a pale pastel version of the color.
It is so diaphanous. The sleeves could be just that material. I would likely lengthen the fairy tale to make it at least mid calf.
Make me one in my size?

I do have a but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it. Plus, I thought it would be fun to talk about! What is more lovely than little girls in white dresses?
Here’s my . The fabric there is quite different though, so I’m not sure it would work.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoAfter lots of saving and uncertainty, the tickets are booked and we are definitely going to Ireland for my cousin’s wedding! Kitty will be the flower girl and I totally splurged on
The fabric has a gorgeous drape and will gather up beautifully, so I think a full skirt is in order. But I just keep going back and forth on what I want to do with…[Read more]

meleliza replied to the topic The size 5 project in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
We’re definitely in size 5 territory now. Actually, she seems to have somehow suddenly skipped size 5 and needs a 6? But that’s in store sizes. I think O+S 5 will still fit. I recently bought an old copy of swing set – thanks @Nicole! – and plan to make her one for the summer. I just can’t seem to decide which fabric. I think the occasion calls…[Read more]

Yes, it’s so early this year! The first step is to see if last year’s Easter Dress fits. I hope so, but she has recently gone through a growth spurt. It had lace and pintucks in the bodice and around the skirt.

That is quite a project, Sarvi! I love Madelinetosh yarn of all kinds. During soccer season, I was working on a shawl in one of her lovely pinks. Tomorrow I’m cleaning out the closet where my yarn is stashed and I’m determined to make it more organized and accessible. I could use a new hat. I don’t think I’ll ever tackle a sweater again until…[Read more]

I don’t think anyone here is listening to the weather man this time! Although the footage on the news of Nantucket was heartbreaking. It will be harder for the school district to call a snow day this time when they failed so badly last week. But my kids would be happy for some proper snow to play in.
I finished that cardigan from Seamwork. It…[Read more]

Mine has an enourmous head and as the dress got smaller, it does require a tug to get it on. And off. However, it’s a 4 and now she’s really more of a 5.

Epic weather man fail! We had about 1 whole inch. The kids were seriously disappointed actually. At least I had helpers with the cleaning! Which gave me time to cut out this sweater. I might even be able to sew it up, actually, as it’s a really simple pattern.
It did take 3 hours last night to print, piece, trim, tape and then trace the pattern…[Read more]

So much for the great blizzard of 2015! But schools are nevertheless closed, so there’s still a little extra sewing time. 🙂
