As with the “Flip this Pattern” series, the February “Free for All” comes with a perk for us!!! You see, utilizing free patterns / tutorials while sewing for our nieces is NOT one of our strengths! We see the benefits of doing so {and there are some fabulous resources available to be successful in the […]

Inquiring minds want to know: What exactly is our “February FREE for All” that will kick start the Spring 2015 season of “Flip this Pattern?” When discussing which twists we would like to incorporate into “Flip this Pattern“, one of the first ideas that came to mind was to involve FREE patterns. But what season […]

On the first day of the new year, we posted a picture on instagram and facebook that {for us} created a good bit of discussion, as well as “likes.” Our oldest niece has expressed an interest in sewing for almost 2 years. In the past, all she has been taught to do is raise and […]

What happens when you have a post ready to release, yet you lack a title for it? You release it anyway…. Title Schmitle! There were some “good” ones thrown out, but then they were just that – THROWN OUT! Such as…. Bimaa-licious! “Bimaa Up, Scotty” “Bimaa Valentine” I mean, seriously….how could one choose amongst such […]

When things don’t exactly “pan out” as intended, it’s nice to have 3 nieces in the sizing line-up!! That said, CL wasn’t the INTENDED recipient for this Lunch Box Tee. Even with room to grow in the shoulders, it worked nonetheless. EA got one wearing of it in {skimpily lengthwise, we might add :)} before […]

What happens when a niece decides she doesn’t like the jeans sewn for her?? Involve her in the coordination of a top to go with it, of course. And, since we KNEW she loved her sister’s Bimaa, we opted to sew EA her first Bimaa {size 4, with size 5 length }. *Note to selves: added […]

What a year, what a year, what a mighty fine year!! We were going to forego the obligatory “RECAP” for the year, but upon seeing everyone else’s wonderful creations consolidated into one post…it was too much for us to sit on the sidelines. Call us lazy, but RECAP posts are laborious and “link intensive”….yet, as […]

We truly don’t know where choosing a word for the year originated, but Melissa was the one who introduced the idea to us. Typically, we would have sat our OCD selves down and brainstormed; charting out various words we would like to be our focal point for 2015. Then, we would have made the words […]

Last, but definitely not least, is happy baby LG {who is absolutely tickled to have handmades designed especially for her}! When trying to decide which pattern would work for LG, we struggled with size availability. We felt like she needed long sleeves, but we also needed it in a size 3-6M. In the end, we […]

“The one in the middle is the green kangaroo“, or in our case, “the ham”. Between her sweet speech, “where’d Emmy doe?” and her being a “tandy torn” for Halloween, her aloofness and an occasional bursting into the fight song of her daddy’s team arch rival {ahem}…she keeps us in stitches. And while this child […]

Last year, we decided to forego Christmas pajamas. Maybe it was time constraints, and the fact they could still ‘semi-wear’ their pjs from the previous year. Or maybe it was the notion that Christmas pjs were a one hit wonder for one day/month. Although in reality, we have seen enough Christmas pajamas on parade from […]

So, our sister put in a request…..and if you follow along, you’ll know she doesn’t do that very often {*and she graciously accepts any creation sent her way time and time again}!! You see, last Fall/Winter, EA’s go-to attire was the Oliver and S, Playtime Tunic and Leggings {ie: our first “date” with Mr. Knit}. […]
