Typically, we would choose a dress . . .but last summer we were on the search for some good, comfy “play” attire. Again, using fabric purchased at the Farmhouse Fabrics […]

EA has always been partial to a drop waist dress. Perhaps she was “sold” on this style from the Charlie Dresses we have made her . . . sewn HERE and HERE. Or, it might have been due to her Oliver + S, Croquet Dress . . . sewn HERE. And then there are the Oliver + […]

We don’t veer too much from our “tried and true” patterns, but the Clever Charlotte, Finch Top and Shorts was a pattern we had been anxious to sew for a while! We knew our niece would like the style of the top for the summer, and that it would be completely different than many of […]

Doesn’t this fabric remind you of a fiesta?? Maybe it is just us . . . but the colors of the stripes seemed to scream: P.A.R.T.Y! As we worked toward purging some of our fabric stash, this fabric kept surfacing as a fabric needing to be used. And, while we love stripes, this fabric gave us difficulty […]

LG LOVES to receive her sisters’ clothes. She looks forward to the day that various clothing articles make their way to her closet. She eyes them. She asks for them. She tries to wear them {from her sisters’ closets} ahead of time. And, then, when she receives them . . . sometimes they are worse for […]

“Stash Busting” seems to be a recurring issue with us. As soon as we THINK we have our fabric manageable . . . we realize we don’t. Recently, we have been making a concentrated effort to “use our stash” . . . and, this was on of those sewing projects. We refer to this dress […]

So, we’ve been destashing our fabric . . . And, recently we’ve had a little problem. You see, we have LOTS of 1 yard pieces of fabric, yet our growing nieces are sizing out of 1 yard cuts. P.R.O.B.L.E.M. No worries!! The Oliver + S, Picnic Blouse was just what these destashers needed. BEWARE . . […]
