Phoebe's Drop Waist Dress by Simple Life Pattern Company

Of course, I'm referring to the amazing Katie from Simple Life Pattern Company. Fresh and fun designs are what we've seen so far, and we're really excited to see what else comes from this sweet shop! Today we have Kim and Melissa here to tell you all about Phoebe's Drop Waist Dress.

Summertime Dreams by My Treasured Heirlooms

Summertime Dreams by My Treasured Heirlooms

One of the things that I love about living in the Midwest is that we experience all four seasons. Yeah, you'll hear us gripe about the allergies, or snow, or heat, but I love that the weather changes and we get to enjoy all aspects of it. I also love patterns that transition well from season to season. Whether it's throwing a cardigan over it or layering a tee under it, I like for my daughter to get a little more longevity out of the things that I work so hard to make for her. Today we have just that kind of a pattern from My Treasured Heirlooms. I'm going to hand it over to Shae and Rebekah so they can tell you all about it!

Clemence Shorts by Filles a Maman

Clemence Shorts by Filles a Maman

I'm sitting in my living room, contemplating tomorrow's activities as we are heading into a second day of no school due to the epic snowpocalypse that has brought our area to its knees. (The preceding sentence was brought to you courtesy of our local weather guys. They can totally bring the drama!) I'm not sure if we'll hit a sledding hill or the YMCA (or both!) but I do know that I am SO ready for Spring and Summer, especially the fun clothing that warmer weather insists upon.Thank goodness Mel from Filles a Maman was bidding winter au revoir with her new Clemence Shorts pattern

The Vivian Handbag and Traveler by Swoon Sewing Patterns

This week on the Review portion of the Pattern Revolution blog, we are all about that BAG!

If you ask anyone that makes bags, you know that they are a labor of love. All of the cutting and interfacing and small details that take your project from homemade to HANDMADE. Then there's the payoff- the copious amounts of drooling by friends, family, and random people on the street that really can't believe that you MADE your bag. Even the ladies at the dentist's office that practically turn your bag inside out because they just can't believe it.
