Let me introduce you to Sarah. 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 Sarah!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi there, I\u2019m Sarah and I\u2019m excited to share my favorite Oliver + S sewing pattern. I sew mostly for my two daughters and discovered Oliver + S after checking out \u201cLittle Things to Sew<\/a>\u201d from the local library. Since then I have tried more Oliver + S patterns than I can remember and every one comes out looking great. Some patterns have sentimental value like the Building Block<\/a> dresses I used to create flower girl dresses for my sister\u2019s wedding, or the Music Class Blouse<\/a> that taught me how to create a row of button holes for the first time. However, due to its versatility, ease of sewing and the fact that my daughter loves it as much as I do, my favorite is the Roller Skate Dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My older daughter has loved every dress I\u2019ve made her from this pattern and I\u2019ve now made so many that I\u2019ve lost count. Most recently I made the dress in this lightweight cotton and included the neck facing.<\/p>\n

When my husband said that my younger daughter needed some new short sleeve shirts for summer I knew I had just the pattern. Who doesn\u2019t love the built in cap sleeve.<\/p>\n

However, my favorite Roller Skate Dress is the Minnie Mouse I made for a trip to Disneyland. It was inspired by a Disney themed Oliver + S blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Roller Skate dress is so easy to make, that I don\u2019t mind if they get worn for some rough and tumble play. I would so much rather my projects be enjoyed and worn than hanging in the closet or packed away in a drawer pristine but unloved.<\/p>\n

The Roller Skate Dress has been a much loved pattern and we have had lots of inspiration on the blog, including:<\/p>\n
