You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry . . .


CHRISTMAS! The holiday that lasts for weeks on end. The anticipation . . . The shopping . . . The parties and get-togethers . . . You name it . . . Christmas has it! It’s hard to believe that in a few more weeks, the Christmas season will be upon us! And it seems Christmas sewing […]

A Classic Lee {with a slight twist}


We love a good, classic dress pattern! It gets us every. single. time. Pandemic or no pandemic. To wear or not to wear. That said, the opportunity to sew a Children’s Corner, Lee was one we couldn’t pass up. Better yet – it was the perfect opportunity to sew a collar from the Children’s Corner, […]

Sewing for Disney: France {Epcot Travels}


Oh la la! For the third, and final country, in our “Epcot Travels” we selected France. It was quite possibly the most familiar of our “Hello” phrases – “Bonjour” {“Good Day”}. When it was all said and done, it was definitely our favorite of the three outfits sewn! Germany {read HERE} and Italy {read HERE} took a back seat […]

Sewing for Disney: Germany {Epcot Travels}


Moving on to another country in Epcot {feel free to read about our first country-specific garment sewn HERE},we chose to highlight Germany. . . This time, we sewed a Made Every Day, First Day Dress. While there were several options for this pattern, we opted to sew an a-line dress {size 5}. Then, we once again […]

Sewing for Disney: Italy {Epcot Travels}


Did you know that eleven countries are represented in Disney’s Epcot? These include: the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, Italy, Germany, China, Norway, and Mexico? We thought it would be fun to “give a nod” to three of those countries . . . but were unsure how we wanted to do so. […]

Sewing for Disney: Moana


Moana was ALL. THE. CRAZE. for our nieces prior to going to Disney! So much so, that Moana landed as CL’s NUMBER TWO request for her “Sewing for Disney” wardrobe. Again, it might have been the exposed midriff that she was hoping to sport. Yet again, we disappointed! Instead, we sewed an Oliver + S, […]

Sewing for Disney: Jasmine


Hi friends! We figured since Disney closed for some time, shouldn’t our “Sewing for Disney” series be placed on “pause” too? Not really . . . but it makes for a handy excuse for our delay . . . Picking up where we left off on our “Sewing for Disney” series . . . EA really, […]

Children’s Corner, Katina Sundress


Isn’t the Children’s Corner, Katina a sweet sundress for a warm, summer day? We sewed CL a Katina Dress in a size 6. Well, we actually took a “shortcut” with this creation – having the dress constructed prior to smocking it. There is always so much to sew . . . and so little time […]

Children’s Corner, Nora with Circle Skirt


Thank you, Dana, for creating a fabric that “spoke” to us. Yes. . . even in KNIT . . .this fabric screamed to be sewn. Still, what do you expect with ICE CREAM?!?! You know what they say? I scream, you scream . . .  We all scream for ice cream . . . That, and […]

All three dresses in the Children’s Corner, Pleats II set are 100% “our style”!! Those pleats! Those sweet collars! The places for some embroidery! Wow, wow, wow . . . and, yes, yes, yes! We sewed LG a Pleats II, Camille in a size 4. This is the second dress of the set we have sewn our youngest […]

Children’s Corner, Nora with Modification


Anyone need some “Spring, sewing inspiration”?? While we are still plugging away with sewing three Easter dresses, we have managed to squeeze in a “quick sew” that celebrates the changing of seasons, and brighter days ahead!! How can one refuse Liberty knit?? While we LOVE Liberty tana lawn, we had never sewn Liberty knit prior to […]

Easter Sewing 2018: Children’s Corner, Kathy-Kelley


The second child, CL, received our favorite of the three dresses sewn this year – primarily for the embroidered collar. Again, using an older Children’s Corner pattern, we sewed a Kathy {of the Kathy-Kelley dress pattern} in a size 5. We lengthened her dress too, but this pattern worked better proportionally than the Denise pattern. […]

Easter Sewing 2018: Children’s Corner, Denise


As many turn to their sewing machines to prepare for Easter, we thought we would share the nieces’ dresses from two years ago. Since we never did . . . It seems we never posted Easter 2018 creations . . . . but, since we went “vintage”, perhaps each post will still be timely {and […]

Straight Grain, Berlin Coat


We mixed it up a bit with CL’s coat . . . Sewing her the Straight Grain, Berlin Coat in a size 8. Although it might have been easier to sew three coats using the same pattern {others can be viewed HERE and HERE}, we thought this might be a good opportunity to sew another coat […]

Another Agatha Coat for a Niece


Okay. We like this coat pattern SO. MUCH. we opted to make two coats  . . . for two of the three nieces! But, we wanted to make each one unique. For EA, we sewed a size 10. Since this pattern only goes to a size 12 . . . we really, really, really wanted […]

Papillon and Mandarine, Agatha


We have always been drawn to a good coat pattern . . . We have purchased many, and sewn few. . . {you can see a few of our past coat creations HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE}. Yet, the Papillon and Mandarine, Agatha was too cute to pass up! This stylish coat pattern runs from […]

Sewing for Disney: Leia {Return of the Jedi}


When Star Wars is a “niece favorite”, one must brainstorm two completely different looks for a main {favorite} character. While CL enjoyed her “Leia look” from A New Hope, EA received her own “Leia outfit” – one with a nod to the Ewoks of Endor. Can’t you just see her on a speed racer? Zipping through […]

Sewing for Disney: Leia {A New Hope}


The internet is just a wealth of knowledge, isn’t it? That . . . along with a wealth of ideas. About 3 years ago, we saw this creation on Project Run and Play’s sew-along. Everything about it screamed YES, YES, YES!! It was THE. BEST. NOD. to the Star Wars original trilogy that we had […]

Sewing for Disney: Slinky Dog Dash


Although the girls gave us a starting list of “top 10″ Disney related items for their “Sewing for Disney” wardrobes, we always had the final say on which outfits made the cut . . .as well as the patterns and materials to use for them {except one}. Of ALL the Disney garments sewn, there was […]
