I admit, the title might be a bit misleading….
But, that’s exactly what it is, folks! CL’s coordinating outfit {see EA’s outfit here} is just that:
Oliver and S Tea Party Dress on top of Oliver and S Seashore Bloomers.
This “matching set” came to be upon realizing we had more fabric to use
after completing EA’s Seashore Dress.
And, of course, the never-ending white sheet was still screaming to be used some more.
{You can read more about our white sheet sewing here….two pages worth!}
{You can read more about our white sheet sewing here….two pages worth!}
So, we opted to ‘coordinate’ the girls’ attire slightly….
and finish off some of the remaining fabric in the process {not the white sheet, mind you}.
We sewed an Oliver and S 6-12 mo Tea Party Dress,
and paired it with the Oliver and S 6-12 mo Seashore Bloomers.
And the outcome??
It just makes you want to kiss someone….
Or hug them….tightly…..
It left us reaching in our pattern stash to see what Oliver and S pattern might be sewn next.
*Hint: it’s for a certain, year-long series going on right now….and is July’s feature pattern!
GUESSES, anyone?
So, what are you working on?? Is it a tried-and-true pattern? A new pattern? Anyone doing some “selfish sewing” right now? We’d love to hear about what’s on your sewing table….

Gosh they’re cute! I’m late night sewing pyjamas but dreaming of a long sleeved Roller Skate flip for our winter weather….. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Ooooh, long sleeves could be interesting!! Excited to see that dream come to fruition. Working on ours right now.
Oh, I love those dresses! I might just have to get them for my girls. I’ve already made a tea party dress for my oldest’s doll and I know she’d love to match…
I’m working on the Meringue skirt from the Colette book. A project for me! I really want to finish it up in time for our vacation. I’m also thinking up my flip for August. I bought the pattern and am thinking of the mods I want to make and the fabrics I want to use. I’m excited and nervous at the same time!
You are so brave! We’ve not attempted sewing for ourselves :). Glad to hear you’ll be flipping with us in the upcoming month…..
Love the pattern but them girls are just adorable… Great job & great post…
Thanks! They are a lot of fun!!
Very cute! Love the subtle use of the leftover fabric. I’m currently working on curtains for my daughters kindergarten… Not the most interesting job, and a huge stash of nice patterns are waiting…
Well, I bet there will be a thankful teacher :)! Maybe the patterns will speed up the curtain completion.
Charming children, dresses, and photos. I love when you post! The little outfit is adorable and ‘goes with’ rather than matches like an identical dress. This is my favorite type of ‘sister sewing’. Bravo!
Thanks for making our day!! We are so glad you enjoy our posts and creations….looking back, we couldn’t believe it had been so long since the last one.
Those chubby little legs are killing me!!
You aren’t kidding!! So much sweetness….
These are such sweet outfits! Lovely pics too – what a cute couple they are.
Beautiful! I love how the white Tea Party looks with the piping against it.:) And of course you’re sewing a Roller Skate dress/tunic next! I have swimsuits that need to be sewn. K wasn’t feeling the best this morning so I stayed home from church to be with her. I’ll be sewing as soon as I catch up on blogs/emails and laundry!
Of course! The roller skate is up next. Ummm, swimsuits scare us….maybe one day.
Aww, these are so CUTE! I love the coordinating outfits, and those little girls are just adorable. =)
Thanks Charity! It was fun to coordinate the girls for once….
Love both outfits!
They are so adorable (love the hugs pics).
On my sewing table this week: flip this pattern (top secret) and a few pattern testing (can’t wait to share it).
Very excited to see your top-secret flip, and intrigued to hear more about your pattern testing!
These dresses are so precious. Makes me want a little one to sew for!
I can think of a beyond-cute fireman that must be fun to sew for…..your IG pictures kill us with cuteness!!!
Perfectly perfect loveliness.
