You know….finding already completed garments {sans hem} in our pre-blogging sewing stash could become addicting! This little dress was yet another one of these gems ready-to-wear {once the hem was complete}. Thankfully, it was sewn with a classic small blue floral print…..Therefore, not “dating” the creation before it was ever worn! We sewed the pattern, […]

But, here’s the cool thing…..you don’t have to own the book to sew the Oliver and S, […]

We DID it!! We finished with a “mini-FLIP” of our own as we ended “Flip this Pattern: YEAR ONE” last week! And, in our defense, it WAS completed within the month of flips for The Cottage Mama, Run-Around Romper. The flips were minimal….but that’s how we typically roll! And, since these photos have been taken, […]

With every experience, lessons are learned. And, when lessons are learned, one can use those lessons to create something even better! At least that is our hope…. Last year on our “Blogiversary: Year One”, we decided to celebrate by hosting a year-long series: “Flip this Pattern.” This was ultimately a “selfish sewing series” for us…in an […]
