Do you follow Katy Dill’s Once Upon a Thread<\/a> series? So cute. It’s all about book-inspired clothing made for kids.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think my favorite contribution to the series, ever, is the Harold and the Purple Crayon<\/a>-themed Sunday Brunch Jacket Katy herself made a few seasons ago. But there are so many creative contributions to this series, it’s a ton of fun to see how people were inspired and where they took their sewing.<\/p>\n

Like this one: a skirt and fantastic hand-painted T-shirt (love the bottle necklace!) inspired by Oliver Jeffer’s The Heart in the Bottle<\/a> and sewn by Ruffles and Such. I want to wear this T-shirt!<\/p>\n

And what about Skippyjon Jones<\/a> by Delia Creates, from last week? How great is that bumble bee backpack (converted from the Penguin Backpack pattern in Little Things to Sew<\/a>)! Be sure to click through on these links. All the photos are amazing and do such a cute job of re-telling the story.<\/p>\n

Well, this year Katy asked me if I’d like to contribute, and much as I probably should have said no, what with being in the middle of fall pattern development and all the other deadlines we’ve been juggling over here, I just couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

S and I really wanted to do this together, and we knew almost immediately which book we wanted to feature. Head over to No Big Dill to see the full post<\/a>. It was so much fun to work on this together! The photo below is a little hint for what we did, but you need to see the final result and photos for the full effect. Another hint: we really love Oliver Jeffers!<\/p>\n

You can contribute to these series, too. Katy has set up a Flickr group<\/a> where you can post your own Once Upon a Thread book-themed sewing projects. I hope you’ll join us over there! And if you sew something with our patterns don’t forget to post it to the Oliver + S Flickr group<\/a> too; we really want to see what you make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
