You know the awesome thing about reprints? They give this sudden urge and freedom to stop hoarding the original. Such was the case with my one yard cut of Liberty’s Tresco, now that the print has been added to the Contemporary Classics collection. I tossed around a few ideas at the beginning of the month...
I’ve decided to wait until I have more baby related things to show before posting about the whole cloth quilt I made. In the mean time, I want to share with you some garments I’ve made to wear after the baby makes his arrival (hopefully this week sometime!) I was gifted several absolutely stunning cuts...
I know I’ve said this before, but feeling good (and looking good) are a must for me while pregnant. And looking good does wonders in helping me feel good. I made my first maternity Oliver + S Swingset skirt a while back, and I wore it so often, I knew I needed another. So a...
Did you catch my panelist intro on the Oliver + S blog a week or two ago? My plan was to make Layla a Swingest Skirt that would be reversible and have three layers, with the middle one being the longest. I made two minor changes to the final product, and I just love it!...

I thought you were going to share a nursing hack – that dress could totally work for nursing with some easy modifications to the under layer!!
But yeah. One yard wouldn’t cut it ;-)
Layla’s dress is awesome and it’s great that she’ll get a couple of years out of it. Maybe after she outgrows it, you can turn it into a skirt. Or a pillow….. :-)
What a great choice for this lovely fabric! Layla looks so pretty in the dress. It’s great that she appreciates your sewing so much!
adorable! I love that print and am scheming about what I might be able to make with it.
