Kid’s Clothing Week : Layla in Wonderland

October 20, 2015

This is the year I am ready for Kid’s Clothing Week! It seems like every time it comes around I have either just binge sewn a ton of garments or right after the fact. But this year is different. I caught the memo from the Oliver + S blog, and I am making a dress...

Oliver + S : More Sketchbook Shirts, More Liberty

February 4, 2015

I told you I wouldn’t be able to quit. The Sketchbook Shirt pattern is just too good! This time I made Wallace two of the short sleeved versions of the shirt with the standard fold down collar. I used my one of my all time favorite prints, Queue for the Zoo in green. This awesome...

Goodies Galore

January 21, 2015

Do you ever stalk the mail man or the UPS guy (lady)? I do. I love getting packages, especially when they are filled with pretty things. I had been doing really well about not adding much fabric to what I already have but… Liberty gets me! It does. And then I’m browsing the J&V site, and one...

Sketchbook Shirts : Liberty + Chambray

January 16, 2015

I know I told you I would have this post up yesterday, but the weather was super dreary on Wednesday, so getting any good pictures would have been next to impossible. I hope waiting an extra day is worth it! I haven’t been doing much garment sewing lately, and I think that’s because my sewing...

Absolutely adorable, those shirts are just wonderful. Thanks for including a closeup of the first print. From afar it reads almost as a floral ditsy print but it’s actually more of a blocky micro cheater quilt. Your handsome fella is looking awfully sharp in those new shirts!ReplyCancel

  Thank you so much! It really is a fun print. The boxes in the print take some unexpected twists and turns, and it really keeps your eyes moving over the fabric.ReplyCancel

So cute! I’ve haven’t sewn for babies, but I’ve thought that doing something so detailed as a buttoned shirt on that scale is probably harder than doing a larger version. Very impressive!ReplyCancel

  Thank you! I don’t know if its harder! I’m wanting to make some shirts for myself, but I thought making a males shirt, even a tiny one, would be good to tackle before attempting a curvier one for a woman. Plus I knew Oliver + S would teach me something valuable, and I do felt I was able to better grasp some techniques.ReplyCancel

  Thank you, Emily!!! You are the sweetest. I’m so glad the Checkmate print worked for the shirt. I knew if you sent the fabric to me early I would have to drop everything and use them! :) I’m so glad you did, though. Can’t wait to see the new prints!ReplyCancel
