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 […]

ONE HUNDRED TWO PIECES . . . If you were wondering. Not that we were counting . . . Ummmm, REWIND . . . Okay, so we were TOTALLY counting! And, when it was all said and done – this garment held the most individual pieces of our “sewing for Disney” collection. Please note: this […]

Sewing for Disney: Elsa for the Youngest


We succeeded in NOT sewing a summer version of Elsa’s outfit last time we visited Walt Disney World, but it was unavoidable this time around! Frozen II “fever” was beginning, and the girls’ top 10 lists ALL included the magical Norwegian. Ummmm, rewind. . . LG included both Elsa {#2 choice} AND Olaf {#5 choice}. […]

Sewing for Disney: a Modern Giraffe


While planning the girls’ outfits for Disney, we tried to sew in sets of twos . . .using one pattern for {at least} a few outfits. The Children’s Corner, Nora was one of those overlapping patterns. It was previously used on EA’s African Safari top, and now, it was the perfect look for CL’s giraffe […]

Sewing for Disney: Flamingo with Style


Keeping with the “detail oriented” theme, we opted to sew a flamingo for LG’s animal-based outfit for the Animal Kingdom. We thought it would compliment EA’s zebra attire nicely, and please our “partial to pink” youngest niece. AKA: the queen of silliness.  Time and time again . . . To begin, we sewed the Oliver […]

Sewing for Disney: Zebra Sighting


This trip to Disney was all about the details. Or so it seemed, looking back on some of the outfits we tackled . . . on a time crunch. However, we couldn’t resist the stark contrast between black and white to capture a zebra-based outfit for another day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We selected 3 […]

Sewing for Disney: An African Safari


To pair with CL’s safari dress and LG’s repeat safari outfit {you can see the original outfit HERE}, we opted to sew EA the Oliver + S, Sketchbook Shorts {size 7} and a Children’s Corner, Nora {size 8, shortened to a shirt} with added applique. The shorts were shortened to a 14″ outseam, since EA is […]

Sewing for Disney: It’s a Jungle Out There!


After returning from our first trip to Disney with two of the nieces, we asked each one to tell us her favorite of the outfits sewn. CL, who has a knack a throwing us sewing “curveballs” so to speak, surprised us once more. Safari . . .errr, should we say SHAFARI {to coin the vocabulary […]

Sewing for Disney: Belle {take 2}


To conclude the Disney PRINCESS “take 2″  / repeats, we sewed another “Belle dress.” During our first “Sewing for Disney”, Belle stole the show {for us, at least}! We LOVED the thought process of creating the titles of books that accented the Oliver + S, Ice Cream Dress. This time, instead of EA, CL requested […]

Sewing for Disney: Cinderella {take 2}


We don’t cry over many of our creations. In fact, off the top of my head – I can think of one other. However, this one brought tears to one of us!! Goodness. Why do we get so invested in these garments?? Sewing should NEVER bring on the water works – unless it is tears of […]

Sewing for Disney: Ariel {take 2}


Remember how we mentioned the girls’ wish lists for Disney characters to represent? Mmmm-hhhmmm. We say time and time again that we don’t sew much for LG. And for our upcoming Disney trip, we could have taken some sewing shortcuts along the way. Technically, she didn’t need many “new sews”.  Four of the original Disney […]
