Have we mentioned that we like to sew patterns in pairs (at least)?? You see, understanding the steps of the pattern sometimes take the greatest amount of time! So, when you understand a step . . . why not do it twice?? We’ve found that it saves quite a bit of time for us! That […]

We have always loved a good Oliver + S, Playtime Tunic. But as EA grew, we wondered how this “style” would work for a growing child. EA has entered her “tween years”, and seems to be growing before our eyes. Ultimately, we decided that if we chose the “right fabric” . . . EA would […]

Season in and season out we love the Oliver and S, Playtime Tunic and Dress pattern! This pattern can be sewn with knit OR cotton. Of course, once the nieces received a knit version, the cotton version took a DISTANT second place with pattern preference. We sewed CL a size 8, Oliver + S playtime […]

So . . . .we tried something new. . . . . . a new pattern (for us). . . Specifically, a new KNIT pattern (for us). We thought the Cali Faye, Perri Pullover would work nicely for EA as she enters her “tween” years, so she received two pullovers – both sewn as a size […]

Soooo, we intentionally sewed something for the youngest niece, LG. You know how it goes: those poor third children . . . always seeming to be slighted on receiving new handmades. But, this time was different. She was going to get something “all. her. own.” We sewed the Children’s Corner, Frannie Dress (size 7, from […]

We go back to tried and true patterns again and again. Especially when dealing with knits . . . When we sewed this pattern the first time (Sewing for Disney: HERE and HERE), we weren’t exactly sure how receptive the girls (or their momma) would be to it. The verdict? It met everyone’s approval! The […]

We love a good Bimaa! This pattern has been tried and true, year after year after year after year. EA is now wearing a size 12, Bimaa with no modifications. And yes . . . sniff, sniff . . . this pattern only goes up to a size 12! Even though it is still painful (at […]

Well, we finally made it . . . the end of our 2nd “Sewing for Disney” installment! There was a vision for this creation – a vision that worked . . . sort of. . . . . . Before it didn’t. Tiana was a new character added to our “Sewing for Disney” series. But, […]

During our 1st round of Sewing for Disney, we asked the question: What character would you like to see represented . . . if we were to sew more “Sewing for Disney” garments? One answer received: Sleeping Beauty That’s tough! The character with the least screen time of any Disney princess. . . The one that is […]

Well, what do you know? We never completed our “Sewing for Disney” series – that was begun years ago. . . Nothing like picking up a dusty old series again! We actually had three more Disney creations made that were never shared. And, there is no better time than the present to share them. Elena […]
