Have you heard the news??
Hayley, of Welcome to the Mouse House, has begun designing and selling patterns of her own!
When she surprised us with her first pattern {the Norah Dress} in our inbox,
we began brainstorming an outfit for CL….one that she could enjoy….and SOON!
The Norah Dress comes with multiple options – both for summer and winter. It is extremely versatile in both the dress and tunic lengths. There are three sleeve variations – long, short, and no sleeve. You can also mix and match with the collar options: collar and ties, just collar, or no collar. If that isn’t enough, Hayley gives you the options to sew with a variety of fabrics to create your desired look.
We love, love, love the lines of this pattern!! The unique, cinched peter pan collar had us from “HELLO!” When discussing potential “Holiday Wear” for our nieces, this pattern fit perfectly in our plans. You see, we had already planned this little creation for EA….and needed a ‘coordinating, but not matchy-match’ garment for CL.
We went very ‘conservative’ on our creation – solids and piping! Surprise, surprise…
We might have developed a little sewing crush on the gray corduroy used….
Instead of using traditional Christmas colors, we opted to go with a more ‘winter color scheme’
….incorporating gray, white, and a pop of mint / icy blue.
It will get more wear from “Little Miss CL” that way – or so we hope {that’s the plan at least}!
Precious, precious, precious!!
We see many more “Norahs” in our nieces’ wardrobes in the future…..
this pattern fits our particular sewing style to a tee…
That, and it is “easy breezy” to sew up! A DEFINITE perk in our opinions….
If you need more inspiration to complete your Norah pattern purchase,

We have loved sharing our simple creation with your readers today….
and look forward to seeing others’ creations in the days ahead….

Those cheeks make me swoon. I love the muted colors and piping all around. Lovely!
Completely kissable cheeks!! :)….Thanks, Michelle!
This just makes me so happy to see. She is adorable and I love the piping around the everything. Just perfect! Thanks so much for taking the time to join my tour!
We LOVED it!! Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity to share!!
I think Hayley may have created this pattern just for you two! It does suit your aesthetic to a tee! And CL looks like a beautiful, little southern lady in her Norah dress. Just perfect! Oh, and by the way–War Eagle! I think the Norah would look great in orange and blue, too. Don’t you?
It IS our style, isn’t it??? And, yes….it WOULD look good sewn in some orange and blue!! Maybe we should add that to our ‘to do’ list???
its very pretty. I love the blue piping.
I can’t believe how big and grown up she looks. Several of those pictures are priceless! Love the dress too…just so lovely!
What a great dress! The white collar looks awesome against the grey background. Great job!
Love the dress! The Peter Pan collar, the color of the dress, the piping….Perfect combination!
Grey is one of my favorite neutrals
Sucha pretty shade this is. Cute girl too 😀
Corduroy is among my favorite fabrics, and grey is one of my favorite colors, so of course I love this dress. =) I’ve been saving photos of collars similar to this one for a while. It’s darling.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments on CL’s outfit: simple, clean, and classic. We laughed and told Hayley we might win the award for the plainest creation for her pattern tour :)….
Just gorgeous! Love the collar.
The mint piping is the perfect touch of color!
I love what you have done with this dress!! I wasn’t even thinking of corduroy – so glad you did and shared!! I have the same color gray and some dark green. May need to give it a whirl!!!
I just love this! I need to make a Norah dress for my daughter, such a great classic style!
Super sweet! I love the little pop of blue. Its is definitely a perfect winter color scheme.
