The Novella Pinafore and The Story.

Before I went on my sewing break a few weeks ago I joined in on the testing of two of the patterns that are part of the new Lounge Library collection over at Project Run and Play.

Teapot and Lindell

My plan of taking a little break from pattern testing only lastet for a day or two. I simply couldn’t resist the temptation when the tester call came from E&E patterns. At some point I might have to admit that I have an addiction.

The Rose Hip

Sofiona Designs just released yet another great pattern. The Rose Hip Jacket, its a cropped style bomber jacket and the pattern includes all sorts of awesome details.

Dandelion + Aspen = Love

For the first time my daughters outfit has me green with envy. She loves it too and has been wearing it for 3 days in a row now.

8 going on 18

It was kind of scary seeing Anita in such a cool maxi dress. She suddenly looked so much older. I think she felt it too cause she turned the attitude way up. Needless to say she really loves her new dress.

The Puchi Pinafore

I wasn’t planning on making the kids new outfits for the holidays this year. As you can imagine they have plenty they can use, at least this one does!

Happy Anniversary Sofiona!

I’m so happy to be part of this blog tour celebrating Sofiona Designs one year anniversary!  I was so eager to get on this tour I said I would make anything they needed, stay true to pattern or do a pattern hack.  I must admit I had my fingers crossed for getting to stay true to pattern since I’m no designer.  But no luck there – LOL!  My assignment was to hack the Starry Night pj’s, hmm now how the heck am I supposed to do that? Haha!  It took me a couple of months to come up with a plan and now I’m super excited to share what I came up with.

Bonfire time!

Fall is coming and no matter how hard I wish for the summer to continue, I guess its time to accept the inevitable and make the kids some warmer clothes!  First up is Anita in her brand new and awesome Bonfire Hoodie!

Sanamu

This one has been hanging in my sewing room for a few weeks now, just waiting for time to take photos.  Anita knows she can’t wear her new mommy made clothes before they are photographed so she has been patiently admiring her new Sanamu jumpsuit/romper or what you would call it.  Finally the stars aligned and we could take those photos!

Soray + Imari = Perfect Pair

This all started with Anita outgrowing her old denim shorts and I had decided that I would sacrifice one of my favourite fabric from my stash to make her a new pair.  I know, I really love her!  I had The Imari Shorts from Sansahash all cut out and ready to go when the tester call for The Soray Top and Dress came.  Perfect timing!
