Usually I try to check in on the Oliver + S Flickr group<\/a> every couple of days. It’s always amazing to me how many new photos show up, because you’re a prolific group of sewists!<\/p>\n

I’ve been traveling for the past couple of weeks and haven’t checked in regularly. When I did, I was floored at the number of adorable photos that made an appearance during my absence. I thought it would be fun to show off a few of them.<\/p>\n

Thejennigirl<\/a> sews for all three of her children. I love her version of the Birthday Party Dress as well as the coordinating Tea Party Sundress and\u00a0Playsuit\u00a0and the Sketchbook Shirt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is another Tea Party Playsuit in a cute bicycle print, sewn by\u00a0SewMummy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And below is another Tea Party Sundress in some fun coordinating prints, sewn by Mama_Knowles03<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fabric and print on this Family Reunion Dress, sewn by\u00a0kmac0107<\/a>, are just perfect for summer, aren’t they? I love how the print is scattered across the hem. It keeps the print from being too busy and compliments the pattern perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our free patterns make great summer outfits. Here is the Ruffled Halter, sewn up by Queen of the Flies<\/a> and paired with the Puppet Show shorts. I think this print is perfect for the halter, and I love how it pairs nicely with the linen shorts<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And how great is this Popover Sundress? This was part of a “Craft-off” and was sewn by Dana. You can see more photos and read the hilarious commentary over at\u00a0Cry it Out<\/a>. And really, who can possibly choose between the two competing dresses?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re starting to think about fall sewing, you might be interested in this Jump Rope Dress, which is a great transitional piece. I love the colors and the print. (I’m seeing a lot of Jay McCarroll prints here, did you notice?) This one was sewn by\u00a0Creative Pursuits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the southern hemisphere has already had their autumn,\u00a0Nicole<\/a> has been sewing all sorts of adorable cool-weather clothing for her five children and is starting to think about spring and summer again. I love her version of the 2+2 blouse paired with the Music Class skirt (first picture) as well as the Class Picnic blouse made in Italian wool (second picture).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeanne at\u00a0NightKnitter<\/a> is busy making school uniforms for her daughter. She’s included little surprises in these dresses by using prints and color for the facings and linings. That should make dressing for school a little more interesting and fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I adore the fabric and toggles on this School Days raincoat made by\u00a0Roubidou<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t get over this Sailboat Shirt, embellished by\u00a0Annaarbit<\/a>. Isn’t that applique fantastic? Love the 3-D tutu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And speaking of tutus, there have been lots of great items from our book, Little Things to Sew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aren’t these dreamy? The top tutu was sewn by Mosie Made<\/a> and the tutu on the bottom was made by Bobaduncan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Reversible Bucket Hat has been a very popular project this summer. I love this one by Jojoling<\/a> and wonder who that is in the sporty red and white stripes underneath it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And one more I just have to share. Isn’t this a sweet photo of the birthday girl recipient of this Bear Carrier gift? I love the shots that followed, which you can see over at\u00a0Coffees and Milkies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing your photos, and I hope you’re having a wonderful, relaxing and creative summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
