Lolita Shorts by Felicity Patterns

I might have squealed a little bit when I first saw the Lolita Shorts pop up in my Facebook Feed. The ruffles along the hem are simply adorable, and the front sash & bow add style and sophistication without the fuss of belt loops. This is a fun pattern for mixing fabrics, adding decorative stitching, or adding fun trim.

You may not know this, but Suzanne Winter usually writes the introductions to most of the pattern reviews. Since this is her pattern, I get the honor today- lucky me. I have to admit that I am just not that stylish and I don't get out much either, but last weekend, my husband took me out shopping, then to dinner and to the beach afterwards. I saw women wearing rompers in the mall. Our waitress was wearing one EXACTLY like the Riviera Romper, and then I saw a really casual version on another lady at the beach. All that to say, this pattern is definitely on trend! Be sure to check out the Winter Wear Etsy Shop and enter our giveaway HERE. Now here's Kara to show off her version of the Riviera Romper by Winter Wear Designs.

Offbeat Oxford by Terra's Treasures
/
Hey there! It is Crystal, from Stitched by Crystal, and today I get to share a fun BOY pattern with you! I will admit, I don’t sew nearly enough for my son. But I mean, how many times can you sew that same old shirt and pants pattern before you just get sick of it? I am always looking for boy patterns that are fun and a little bit different and the Offbeat Oxford by Terra’s Treasures definitely fits the bill!
The Offbeat Oxford is your typical oxford shirt but with a fun curved button placket. I sewed mine up with short sleeves but there is also an option for long sleeves.
As a boy mom, I have sewn so many collared shirts that I think I could do it with my eyes closed now (OK maybe not, but you get the idea!) The collar and stand construction in this pattern is a bit different than I had ever done before but it went together very smoothly and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I love learning a new way to do things!
For my son, I made a size 5. He is only 3, but he is a big 3, and I used the size chart in the pattern to help me decide what size to make. He falls perfectly in the size 5 range and the shirt fits great! I used one of my husbands old dress shirts and with a little pattern piece Tetris, I was able to squeeze this whole shirt out of a long sleeve men’s large.
OK let me give you the rundown on the Offbeat Oxford…
- Pattern is for sizes 18 months all the way to size 14!
- There is a size chart as well as finished measurement chart.
- There is a fabric requirement chart and list of notions.
- The pattern has very clear instructions that are easy to follow and really great pictures, plus a few illustrations to get you through the trickiest part, the collar assembly.
- Options for long or short sleeves.
- Easy to print and assemble. Pattern pieces in both color with different dashed lines in case you print in B&W.
- Spot on sizing.
Because of the collar, collar stand and sleeve plackets, I would say this is an intermediate pattern. It also has a lot of buttons and button holes to sew, but I love the way all those buttons accent that curved front!
Need another great boy pattern to pair with your Offbeat Oxford? I paired mine with some Ranger Shortsby One Thimble. They are easily my favorite boy shorts pattern, an easy to follow pattern that gives you a great professional looking pair of shorts!
