The countdown \u2019til Christmas is on! What have you got on your sewing list right now? Do you have plans for sewing up a special outfit for the holidays? We want to help you make it a handmade holiday this year. It is time to sew your holiday best and you can do that with Oliver + S sewing patterns.<\/p>\n

Today we have lots of ideas and inspiration for holiday sewing for boys and girls. We\u2019ve got you covered from baby through teen.<\/p>\n

First up we have Casey<\/a> who sewed these cute coordinating sister Christmas Roller Skate dresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Next up is the ultimate dress for special occasions, the Fairy Tale Dress<\/a>. You can view all of our Fairy Tale Dress posts here<\/a>. This is a version in a very classic plaid<\/a> with a red velvet belt.<\/p>\n

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

Here are a couple<\/a> of more examples to show how versatile the pattern can be.<\/p>\n

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

All of these dresses appeared in our Fairy Tale Dress round-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

We\u2019ve had quite a few tutorials done on the Fairy Tale Dress and have gathered them here for you.<\/p>\n

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

1)<\/strong> Heart Cut-out Back Tutorial<\/a><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Pleated Bodice<\/a><\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> 10 Stripes<\/a><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> Adding Box Pleats<\/a><\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> How to Make a Jeweled Belt<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about the Building Block Dress book<\/a> where you alter the elements of the pattern to make exactly the dress you imagine. See all of our Building Block Dress posts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moving along let\u2019s take a moment to focus on the boys. Our Sketchbook Shirt<\/a> pattern has been very popular. In fact, it is number 7 on our Top 10 Selling Oliver + S patterns of All Time<\/a>. All of these creations come from our favorite pattern series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a><\/p>\n

These fantastic versions hail from our Sewing with a Plan-a Swap Project post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Don\u2019t forget another great shirt option is the Buttoned-Up Button-Down Shirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To go with a shirt we have our Art Museum Vest + Trousers<\/a> pattern. These examples can be viewed at our Holiday Sewing for Boys<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

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

Are you sewing for a baby? Our Lullaby Layette<\/a> pattern is just the ticket. And if it\u2019s a baby boy you might be interested in our How to Make a Baby Tie<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we have some ideas for you for tween and teen size girls. Be sure to see our Tween Style: Dress Round-up<\/a> post for lots of inspiration. And we carry a couple of patterns that go up to teen sizes. There is the Swingset Skirt<\/a> that goes through size 14 and the Girl on the Go Dress + Top<\/a> goes through size 18.<\/p>\n
