St. Patrick’s Day was approaching. EA had NOTHING green to wear. Emergency sewing commenced….with none other than the Oliver + S, Butterfly Blouse and Skirt. We raided our “stash”….and found what we thought would be PERFECT! Lesson learned: IT WASN’T! First of all, EA’s skirt was too large. Remember our important note of measurement – […]
So, we pattern tested for one of Liesl’s newest patterns – the Butterfly Blouse and Skirt {you can read more about it HERE}… To say we were EXCITED would be putting it mildly!!

A fitting name for a deer, and pretty good choice for a then, 2 year old. Sounds very….nature-y. It stuck….as did she! CL prays […]
Our niece is full of surprises. ALL. THE. TIME!! Especially when it deals with sewing. Like…the time she decided she just didn’t like “the triangle dress.” HUH? It was comfy, and we actually used fun fabric {which is soooo not our normal protocol}. Or, when she selected pastel thread to practice her sewing – instead […]
You might have heard by now….BUT…. The ladies over at Skirt Fixation have a pretty exciting event going on for the month of April!!!
