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.

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 Wardrobe Builder!

This post is about the top I was wearing with my Easy Pants in my previous post.  It’s the Wardrobe Builder T-shirt.

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!

All the heart eyes for Mirri

I’m about to show you one of the most flattering pattern I have ever sewed.  It just hugs the body in all the right places and it looks awesome on all sorts of body types.  Here is the awesome Mirri from Wardrobe by me.

My pretty Lana!

I love that Olga behind coffee and thread, one of my favourite kids clothes pattern designer is venturing into designing for women as well.  I’m always a little bit nervous trying patterns for myself by a new to me designer, but I have tested for Olga before so I know that her designes are great.

Mama Leilani

The Mama Leilani a pattern by Peach Patterns just hit the shelves.

Issie Top Collection

So, I’m hopping on the Issie Top Tour Bus today along with two lovely ladies from Belgium With love by Eva and Stannel and I really don’t even know where to begin!  Maybe its best to start at the beginning?  That will take us all the way back to 2014.  Way back then I made the Little Betty Top by Sewpony and I even wrote a little blog post on it here.  I’ll show you a little preview…

I mean common how stinking cute is my baby girl and her Little Betty Top?!  I really loved that top.  I have learned though that you don’t make an entire top out of rib knit.  But hey I stencilled that butterfly on and painted those dots so that’s something.

A wild cat in her Nena top

Today I’m on an Instagram tour with KaatjeNaaisels again, this time featuring The Nena Dress & Top which has also just been released in English.

Here is my cat in her top with birds on it!  Kind of a mixed signal going on here, she suddenly chose to wear the mask and she is the star of the photoshoot so thats how we roll today.

Hera

Maybe you remember that a few weeks ago I posted a couple of summer tops I tested for Wardrobe by me, The Summer Breeze and The Summer Tulip.  Guess what, there is a third sister and her name is Hera.  But hold on it gets even better, YOU can get her for free!  That’s right $0.00!  All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter. 

Hera is a peplum top designed for light weight woven fabric.  Well, you know how rules are meant to be broken?  That’s what a few of us testers have been up to lately.
