First, as an introduction by Rachel {Nest Full of Eggs} with her “flipped version” of the Ethan...

These ladies have been chomping at the bit to show you their “Flipped Creations”….and they are ready to knock your sewing socks off…..trust us! But first, a little introduction of each is in order {introduced in the order of their “Flipped Appearance” for the upcoming week}!
Michelle {Falafel and the Bee}
Hey everybody! My name is Michelle, and you can find me over at Falafel and the Bee.
Let’s see….
I am a 42 year old woman who is wife to the same man for 18 years and counting, and Mom to an 8 year old girl that I affectionately nicknamed “Falafel“, and to a 14 year old girl who my husband, at her birth, dubbed “The Bee“.
Whew. That’s a lot of numbers.
My grandmother bought me my first (and only) sewing machine (it’s a Singer Quantum XL-1) when we got engaged almost 20 years ago. I was terrified of it! When I had our first child, I decided that it was time to take out that machine (so that I could make her tiny little things), and started to get to know it better. I haven’t stopped since. I have learned (and am learning still) about sewing solely from the plethora of wonderful sewists on the internet!
Christina {2 Little Hooligans}
Hi, I am Christina and I blog over at 2 little hooligans. I am a married, stay at home Momma to three little ones who is obsessed with all things crafty and homemade. My blog is where I share our lives in New Hampshire, home renovations, gardening, crafting, sewing and of course lots of pictures of our kids. I first learned how to sew in highschool, but it wasn’t until after my second child was born five years ago that my love for sewing really grew. I started out by making baby items and before I knew it my mind was thinking up new designs for just about anything I saw that was made out of fabric. Sewing has become a passion of mine over the past few years and very few days go by when I haven’t sat behind my sewing machine to create something.
Caila {Caila Made}
Hi there! My name is Caila and I LOVE to sew! I share about sewing, family, and other loves (fabric!) on my blog, CailaMade I just released my first sewing pattern for a little girl’s dress, the Desert Rose and have been overwhelmed with the new love I feel for designing kid’s clothing. You can also find a lot of sewing tutorials and pattern reviews on my blog, so head on over! I’d love to meet you!
As you can see from this photo, I have a be-u-ti-ful family with three super-blond children and a handsome hubby that is happy to compliment everything I sew. I know, I’m one lucky gal! We live in the land of sun and palm trees: Southern California. I like to take pictures at the beach. We are permanently tan. My kids could all swim at the age of 2. It’s a pretty wonderful life, and I really can’t thank God enough for it!
Palak {Make It Handmade}
Hi, I’m Palak– a slightly sleep deprived mom who has loved sewing, knitting and crochet for her whole life. When I’m not chasing after my two rambunctious kids, or sitting behind my sewing machine, I write about my DIY exploits at my blog, Make It Handmade. I also own Sewistry, a site dedicated to stretching our sewing dollars with money saving projects, product reviews and buying guides. I’m so excited to be part of the Summer Flip This Pattern Series!
Each “flipped creation” will be showcased here….Monday through Thursday of THIS WEEK {one competitor per day}. Then, on Friday, August 29, you will have the opportunity to vote for your favorite of the four creations!!
*Please note: The Sew-Along closes on Thursday, August 28 at 11:00 PM CST.
