The Charlotte Dress by My Childhood Treasures

March 01, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

They say that March rolls in like a lion and out like a lamb, and I'm sitting here listening to the freezing rain fall and coat the outside surfaces with ice. Can't wait for some lamby weather!!! I know that most of us, in the Northern Hemisphere anyway, are longing for warmer temperatures and more sun, but we know that the weather will flip flop on us before Spring is solidly here. This sometimes makes it hard to know how to dress your littles! Today we have the Charlotte Dress from My Childhood Treasures that makes a great transition piece while we wait for the gorgeous Spring weather and colors to emerge. Here to bring you this review, are two of our newcomers to Pattern Revolution, Rachel and Ren!

We have a review and pics from Rebecca and pics from Erica!

The Peggy Dress by My Childhood Treasures

February 15, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

The peasant dress is an iconic silhouette that I think will always stand the test of time where handmade clothing is concerned. It's a great style for beginners, it's easy to wear, there are more variations than Baskin Robbins has flavors, and it's generally a very quick sew for instant gratification. Today we have a new spin on the peasant dress, the Peggy Dress, from My Childhood Treasures. Keep reading to see Sarah and Gloria's reviews of this pattern, and then head over to MCT and use the code PEGGY for 20% off this pattern.
