For those of you in or from the U.S., happy Independence Day weekend!<\/p>\n

We’re headed to my sister’s place to enjoy time with the cousins for a few days before S heads off for her big annual Grandparent Extravaganza. Sadly, we’ll be missing the Macy’s fireworks just outside our door<\/a>, but it will be worth it to spend time with family.<\/p>\n

I’ll keep this one short, since it’s a busy holiday weekend for many of us.<\/p>\n

This dress reminds me so much of the Butterfly Blouse<\/a> lengthened to a dress!\u00a0 Now I want to make and wear one myself!<\/p>\n

Such a sweet Croquet Dress<\/a>! (Also, don’t miss all the cute Independence Day sewing on the Oliver + S Flickr group<\/a>. You’ll find some really cute and clever outfits there.)<\/p>\n

These jeans have inspired me: I just cut out the wide-legged Lisette trousers (B6183<\/a>) from Robert Kaufman’s linen denim<\/a> because they seemed perfect together. I think I may crop mine a little shorter than these, but we’ll see. I like to cut longer than I think I’ll need and shorten once I can try them on. Do you do that too?<\/p>\n

Weekend reading links<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why kids shouldn’t be called “fashion icons<\/a>.” (Hint: because they’re kids!)<\/li>\n
  2. After reading an article about Ruth Hogben<\/a>, a fashion filmmaker, in the New York Times, I stumbled upon this stunning film<\/a> she made featuring pieces from the collection of Isabella Blow.<\/li>\n
  3. I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about sewing for curvy little girls<\/a>. How many of you are sewing for full-figured children? (And are you familiar with our tutorial about lengthening and shortening a pattern<\/a>? This would be a good place to start with adjusting sizes.)<\/li>\n
  4. What are your feelings about sugar? I’m just coming off a month of no sugar, and last night I ate ice cream for a little treat. I think I’ll try going another month without it to see if I can eliminate my cravings<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
