Hello, friends!<\/p>\n

Have you been watching the Oliver + S flickr group<\/a> this week? You are such a clever, creative group of sewists! Every year you surprise me with more amazing Halloween costumes made using our patterns. Take the Tootsie Roll and gumball machine below, for example. Kelly<\/a> used our School Photo Dress<\/a> pattern as the base for the Tootsie Roll (love the frilly hat!), and she used the Fairy Tale Dress<\/a> pattern for the equally adorable gumball machine (again, great hat!).<\/p>\n

Or what about Hermione here? She’s wearing the Music Class Blouse and Skirt<\/a> under her fantastic cape, both of which can be worn long after Halloween. (Which reminds me that I need to find out whether I can use the Music Class pattern to sew school uniforms for S.) This is such a professional-looking, impressive costume. Well done, Allie<\/a>!<\/p>\n

We had a little Halloween fun ourselves last weekend, although trick-or-treating isn’t really a thing here in Spain. Nonetheless, S dressed up at King Carlos IV of Spain (the same costume as last year<\/a>) and we took photos in front of King Carlos’ real-life palace, which is just a few blocks from our apartment. She really got into character; she’s such a good sport about these things.<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just love this quilt by Denyse Schmidt.<\/p>\n

And this Hide-and-Seek Dress by Susie<\/a> reminds me a bit of Denyse’s quilt!<\/p>\n

Isn’t this a beautiful version of the Lisette moto jacket (B6169<\/a>)? I love the pieced panels and the combined leather and plaid.<\/p>\n

I also really love this Madewell dress, which is so very similar to our Liesl + Co Gallery Tunic + Dress pattern. I’m wearing my windowpane version of the dress with leggings and jeans this fall. I’ll show you soon.<\/p>\n

Weekend Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The importance of rituals<\/a>. I hadn’t given this much thought before, but it makes a lot of sense! (And it’s a relief to know that dinner together as a family counts as a ritual.)<\/li>\n
  2. We’ve been talking to S about the math power pose<\/a> lately, especially as she approaches middle school when many girls start feeling intimidated and start under-performing in areas like math and science. But did you know that there are lots of other things you can do to help you fake confidence<\/a>, even when you don’t feel confident at all?<\/li>\n
  3. An interesting thought piece about why women have trouble being friends and compete with each other<\/a> instead. What do you think about this?<\/li>\n
  4. And as long as we’re talking about female friendships, I thought this was also intriguing: how friendships change<\/a> when we’re adults.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have a wonderful weekend! Oh, and don’t forget that the Swingset Skirt sew-along starts on Monday. I’m ready. Are you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
