A while back, we sewed a partial version of the Children’s Corner, Virginia. Partial? Why yes . . . because we did not include one of our favorite elements of the original pattern – the scalloped collar. So, we decided to sew another one. But this time, sew it “as is” – using only Virginia pattern […]

If you’ve followed our blog for any length of time, you probably know that our sister SELDOM has a “say” in what we sew the nieces! That’s good . . . and bad!! It’s wonderful because she isn’t picky – she trusts us, our tastes, and style for the girls . . . no matter […]

WOW! We prepared to sew this dress AGES ago. Literally . . . AGES ago! We had sewn a bubble using this fabric, and had enough left over to squeeze out a sz 4, Children’s Corner Lucy dress. While our style has changed somewhat since the preliminary prep of the outfit, the outcome was still […]

It’s been said before: We LOVE the Oliver + S, Swingset Tunic and Skirt pattern!! It’s a winner in our books . . . However, we’ve been stalking the Oliver + S discussion boards on “How to get a cleaner finish” when attaching the bodice and ruffle skirt areas. Since we couldn’t find too much information […]

The Oliver + S, Swingset Tunic {and skirt} ranks in our top five of “Summer Wardrobe Sews” . . . year in and year out! The style has always been a favorite of the girls, and the tiny straps and loose fitting nature of the garment gives a breeziness to an otherwise hot summer. It’s suffice […]

Our creations from THE BIN are quickly coming to an end. The girls are growing too fast, and our past sewing creations are waning. Still, there are a few left to be seen – including this one: a Children’s Corner, smocked Mary De. Sister Momma actually smocked this dress many, many years ago. It was […]

We don’t pattern test much these days. But, the time was right, and we thought we could squeeze one into our “sewing schedule”. We love and appreciate Children’s Corner patterns. These patterns are some of the first we ever sewed. And, they are ones that fit our nieces quite well, with minimal {if any} adjustments, […]

We couldn’t leave LG out of our “swimwear endeavor”, so we sewed her one as well. She MIGHT POSSIBLY have been the most impatient “customer” we’ve ever sewn for! We sewed LG the Cosi Swimsuit, view D {sz: 18 mo}. The pattern instructions encourage you to check the fit of the suit on the child prior […]

CL was up next for a swimsuit of her own! When we think of CL and swimsuits, we see stripes! It seems many of her store bought swimwear includes just that – stripes. We sewed CL the Cosi Swimsuit, view C {sz 3 – no modifications}. Also, this was the only swimsuit that we chose […]

We had put this sewing project off almost as long as the raincoat!! Almost two years ago, we bought the girls some “swimsuit fabric” {HERE} while at the SAGA conference in Orlando, Florida. Then, it collected dust. One summer went by, and another approached. Finally, we decided the time had come to sew each girl a swimsuit. […]
