Let me introduce you to Mire. She posts photos of her lovely sewing creations on Instagram under @melukyla<\/a>. Today she is stopping by to share a bit about her favorite Oliver + S pattern and show us the many fantastic versions she has made. Thanks so much for being here Mire!<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Hello everyone! My name is Mire and I have two daughters. I have been sewing for over twenty years and I sew almost all my daughters\u2019 clothes. I bought my first Oliver + S pattern three and half years ago. The pattern was the Hopscotch<\/a> pattern. I fell in love with it and wanted to try more Oliver + S patterns. Now I own 38 different Oliver + S patterns and I have sewed all of them at least once.<\/p>\n

Choosing a favorite Oliver + S pattern is a challenge. I have a couple of favorite patterns which I regularly sew. In the end I chose the Hide-and-Seek Dress<\/a> as my favorite pattern.<\/p>\n

My first Hide-and-Seek dress was this linen dress. The dress was fairly quick to make and there are some nice details like pockets. I like a Hide-and-Seek dress because it is also great for layering for colder months.<\/p>\n

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

My daughters like the dress because the fit is loose, perfect for play and climbing trees.<\/p>\n

My younger daughter prefers tunics to dresses and I have sewed Hide-and-Seek tunics for her. This tunic is made from knit.<\/p>\n

I made this Hide-and-Seek tunic for my niece. She bought the fabric and I sewed it for her.<\/p>\n

When I was asked to write about my favorite pattern I had just cut a new Hide-and-Seek dress for summer. The pink chambray is actually a bed linen.<\/p>\n

I am sure there will be more Hide-and-Seek dresses. I already have plans for the next one. I want to do some embroidery on the yoke. I already bought lilac linen for the dress.<\/p>\n

Thanks for having me!<\/p>\n

Would you like to take a little stroll down sewing-memory-lane? If so, head this way to see Liesl\u2019s introduction<\/a> to the Hide-and-Seek pattern from March 2014!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
