Sewing with your Kids: Even toddlers can participate!!!

June 17, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

We are continuing our week of Sewing with your kids.... now I have toddlers/preschoolers.... and if you are in the same boat, sewing WITH your kids may sound like torture or an exercise in futility rather than a fun way to pass a summer afternoon. But even if your kiddos aren't quite at the 'sewing' stage yet, that doesn't mean that they can't participate in a project with you! Read how Serena is passing on the love of creation to her daughter.

October 12, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

We have been showing off all sorts of amazing costumes that you can create with your PDF pattern collection. There is still time to enter your own costumes to our link up page to win one of three awesome prizes!!!

Sorry boys, today is dedicated entirely to Princesses - and there are sooooooo many awesome princesses to choose from. If you struggle to put fabrics together, you can do what I did, and get an amazing princess kit from the Bailey Girls - the prices are perfection, the patterns are easy to sew up in an afternoon, and the fabrics are divine. You can Check out my Snow White HERE.

Halloween Extravaganza Day 3: The Wonderful World of Disney

October 08, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

Disney Costumes are always popular with kids - they know the movies, they know the characters, they want to be that princess... or scampering mouse. The great thing with these movies, is that characters often have more than one memorable costume - sure there is that ball gown that you can find in every costume shop, but with a little imagination and ingenuity; you cans till capture your child's favorite movie characters and not look exactly the same as 20 other kids trick or treating in your neighborhood.

Today we'll show you a few of our Disney inspired creations, and there will be plenty more coming as the week goes on! Here are Carrie and Nicole to share Cinderella in Rags and Guss Guss, Ariel on land, and Briar Rose.
