The Lottie Skirt from Brownie-Goose Patterns

April 02, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

Spring is officially here and I know I'm personally excited about all of the new patterns that are releasing from my favorite designers, as well as designers that are new to me. I'm looking forward to sewing up new items for my daughter's wardrobe and getting a chance to put together new fabric combinations. It never gets old! One garment I've already made, and plan to again, is the Lottie Skirt from brownie-goose patterns. You can also see Cassie use an element of it HERE in her Top Stitchers Cinderella entry! I know I love it, but let's see what Paige and Ren have to say about it!

Miss Mary Mack Tunic by Love Notions

March 27, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

You know you're singing it:

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back..."

You get the idea. But guess what?! This knit tunic from Love Notions has no buttons! Read on to see what Carrie has to say about this easy, spring staple.

Today we have Kim and Melissa here to tell you all about Phoebe's Drop Waist Dress.

Summertime Dreams by My Treasured Heirlooms

March 16, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

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

March 06, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

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!
