Weekend In Review/ Kiddie Version

As has been the norm around here lately, a whole lot of sewing and sewing prep, not a lot of blogging.  I guess that’s not a bad problem to have because at least I have things to talk about once I become a chatty cathy again.

I should have some body shots of this outfit on Brooklyn this Wednesday!  They have a color scheme going on this week and that’s when the red day is.    The red skinny jeans are from Peek-A-Boo Pattern shop and the top is Figgy’s Banyan that’s been waiting on a pair of me made pants for a little bit.

This is actually the third pair of pants(not all the same pattern) I have attempted to make for Brooklyn in a month.  She’s 10 but currently wears 8s in most RTW’s.  Recently though the 8’s are creeping up to her ankles but she still has to pull the elastic adjustable waist thingy to keep them up so I knew moving up to a 10 was not a feasible option.  Trying to make her some pants has uncovered that this string bean has almost as many fit issues as I do!  She’s short and skinny for her age but has long legs, a short torso, and muscular thighs.

I won’t spill all the construction details now but check back on Wednesday when the full review for both will be up and a giveaway of a Banyan pattern.

 

New Beginnings and a Giveaway!

Hey everyone!  I missed having my own little spot to ramble about  sewing  so much that I had to start a new blog!  My old blog had a lot of followers but most of them were from my old makeup/hair tutorial days.   I often felt bad that all my post were sewing related, but this is where my heart is.  Also other communities aren’t as sweet as the sewing community, so I would get the occasional “off” comment or email.

To celebrate the new blog I am doing a little give-away!

Famous Frocks by Sara Alm and Hannah McDevitt

I bought Famous Frocks as soon as it came out, but never really got into it.  It’s a really cute book with lovely dress picks, but it’s just not for me.  I would love to pass it on to one of my lovely readers.  To win all you have to do is be a follower of the blog and leave a commit letting me know how you are following(email, reader, blog-lovin, etc).  I really miss the friend connect widget in blogger but I’m sure we can make do.

I’m so excited for this new stuff and have some great things to show you!!!
