To conclude the Disney PRINCESS “take 2″  / repeats, we sewed another “Belle dress.” During our first “Sewing for Disney”, Belle stole the show {for us, at least}! We LOVED the thought process of creating the titles of books that accented the Oliver + S, Ice Cream Dress. This time, instead of EA, CL requested […]

We don’t cry over many of our creations. In fact, off the top of my head – I can think of one other. However, this one brought tears to one of us!! Goodness. Why do we get so invested in these garments?? Sewing should NEVER bring on the water works – unless it is tears of […]

Remember how we mentioned the girls’ wish lists for Disney characters to represent? Mmmm-hhhmmm. We say time and time again that we don’t sew much for LG. And for our upcoming Disney trip, we could have taken some sewing shortcuts along the way. Technically, she didn’t need many “new sews”.  Four of the original Disney […]

We thought a good place to start this round of “Sewing for Disney” was with the four characters that were revisited! That’s right!! Four of the original characters sewn were requested once again for our return trip. There were a few others of the original group requested, but they were much further down on the […]

One was a made from a coral, textured fabric bought from Textile Fabric‘s yearly sale {75% off pre-cut yardage, as well as 40-50% off […]

So, we sewed a size 8. . . . Of a Children’s Corner, Louise. We admit, we are spoiled. Children’s Corner patterns do that to you. And, when you are spoiled, you sometimes cut corners and take shortcuts. Time and time again, Children’s Corner patterns fit our nieces SPOT. ON. If any adjustments have to […]

Hi, my name is EA. I am very excited to have an opportunity to write to all of you on this blog. As you can see down below, I am very excited. That picture was taken last fall! I am 9 years old, and when I’m out of school, I like to work in our […]

This was one of those “work in progress” {WIP} projects – for entirely too long! We actually envisioned sewing the Ellen McCarn angel sleeve bishop when EA was a mere toddler, perhaps age two. Fast forward seven years later . . .yep. SEVEN YEARS! Needless to say, sewing the garment for EA was OUT!! As […]
