We are always on the lookout for a sweet, seasonal print – one that is unique from the Christmas attire seen on EVERY. OTHER. CHILD. for the holiday season. In October, we found just that – a somewhat, seasonal print that we had not seen before . . .and one that, if we play our cards just […]
This dress is one that could definitely be qualified as a “TEAM EFFORT.” And, one with two shortcuts. . . Our first shortcut was having the dress constructed prior to smocking. A Children’s Corner, Lee {size 5} was constructed – with the addition of an eyelet collar and trim to sleeves. Then, Ashley {frances} backsmocked the […]
For the third, and final dress, of the “Fall Family Photo Shoot”, we went out on a ledge and sewed a pattern we had never sewn before. . . . the Children’s Corner, Eleanor. We have sewn a lot of Children’s Corner patterns, so we felt confident that this pattern would not disappoint. Children’s Corner […]
When pushed for time, go with “familiar”. Cue, the Oliver + S, Family Reunion for CL’s family photo dress of choice. Incorporating two colors from LG’s Children’s Corner, Aprons {Carol} dress, we sewed CL a size 6 of the Oliver + S, Family Reunion. Then, to further make the outfits cohesive . . .but NOT […]
Even a third child needs a sweet, NEW dress of her own – from time to time! Cue: a dress sewn in liberty, using the Children’s corner, Aprons pattern {size 5, Carol}. *Please note: the current Children’s Corner, Aprons pattern only goes to a size 4. However the original version had both a size 5 […]
We are continuing to try our hands at knit sewing, but still struggle through the various steps of the process. This time, we sewed the Oliver + S, Field Trip Raglans for some practice. The knits weren’t the greatest quality, but we decided to “go for it” anyway. We sewed EA a size 8 shirt, […]
We warmed up to this pattern later than most Oliver + S patterns. But since that time, we haven’t veered from our infatuation! The Oliver + S, Apple Picking Dress incorporates a key feature that EA loves . . . a drop waist! This child has been a fan of the drop waist style from […]
We always enjoy sewing a Children’s Corner pattern . . .it’s an added bonus when it is a NEW pattern {ahem . . . as of last year :). . . still behind on blogging a bit here}. Last winter, we were given the opportunity to sew a Children’s Corner, Victoria. Since we were waaaaaaaay […]
What can we say?? We were able to eek out another “Fall Fabric” outfit before football season came to a close. This time, we chose the Oliver + S, After School Top . . . turned to a dress. After completing this modification a few times, we have come to the conclusion that this isn’t a terrific […]
Each Fall, we try to sew the girls some outfits in “fall fabric” {aka: orange and blue} . . .to support a certain college football team! This past year, we started our “fall fabric” sewing a little earlier . . . in the warmer months. . . by sewing EA an Oliver + S, Ruffle Halter in a […]
Time and time again, we depend on the Oliver + S, Picnic Blouse when the days become shorter and cooler. It is a terrific transitional pattern between seasons, and one that does not require much fabric. Last fall ,we sewed the following three blouses. Each was loved and worn {worn nearly as much as a school uniform […]
