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 […]
Are you wondering what my aunts have sewn for me this time?? Well . . . If you’ve followed along on the blog for some time, you know that each Fall {cough, cough . . . “Football Season”} requires a bit of thought process and careful planning to create a perfect “Fall Fabric Attire” for the girls […]
Each Fall, the search is on for ONE THING: “Fall Fabric” Yep…..that “subtle fabric” that can “blend” into some perfect collegiate football attire, without screaming – “That’s a _____________ {insert blank} football fan!” Paired with the fact our brother-in-law cheers for the in-state rival, we have to be STEALTH. UNDERCOVER. SECRETIVE. We claim, “we sew….we […]
The “Minority Report”, brought to you this Iron Bowl Eve….from just that, the minority. Imagine growing up….longing, wishing, hoping for a win….but not for the reason you might think. No, it wasn’t for bragging rights… It was for … SILENCE. Yes, that’s right….SILENCE! A win would insure approximately 365 days of pure, unadulterated silence until […]
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 […]
After CL’s modified Children’s Corner, Lillian {that included some honeycomb smocking}, we wanted to sew another one . . .for another niece. As the oldest niece, EA’s closet always holds less than the other nieces. She doesn’t have the benefit of handmade clothing being passed down to her, so she tends to have gaps in her wardrobe selection. […]
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 […]
It’s one for the money . . . two for the show . . . You guessed it! Since we sewed EA a carousel dress, another carousel dress was in the works for CL {of course}. CL was the recipient of a size 5 Oliver + S, Carousel Dress. It was another one of our […]
Her 1st School Photo Dress {aka: her “secret pocket dress”} was met with such rave reviews for EA, that *of course* we had to make another one for this season. We sewed the Oliver + S, School Photo Dress in a size 5, with size 6 length. We added two inches to the sleeve length . […]
WOW, WOW, WOW!! We HONESTLY can’t get over the OVERWHELMING RESPONSE to the “September Showcase” ….AND…the fun has just begun! Have you feasted your eyes on the all of the amazing creations linked up in the linky party?? PHENOMENAL!!! Seriously, PHENOMENAL!! And, then, how about some other “Rising Indie Designers” jumping on board and offering […]
Welcome to the South….a place where one’s beliefs center around God, family, and football. And, yes, truth be told: we were one of those people….not so long ago. Now, we’ve replaced our passion for football with a passion for sewing…. a little less dangerous, and definitely not as intense on most days!! You see, football […]
So, we tried to squeeze in one final fall sewing garment before turning our attention to the quickly approaching Christmas season. While we loved the outcome, we are once again playing catch up with the upcoming garments…. Sound all too familiar? We made an Oliver + S, picnic blouse and and Oliver + S, sailboat […]
