I'm so excited to share a project I've been secretly working on these last few months! While I have sewn for years, it wasn't until I discovered Oliver+S patterns after the birth of my firstborn nine+ years ago that I felt like I was actually improving - these patterns actually taught you how to sew!… Continue reading Liesl+Co Yanaka Jacket {Release}

Americana for July 4
America's Independence Day is almost here, so to get in the spirit of things, I decided to make some patriotic outfits for each of my kids.
Each of these sews is from an American designer too!
Oliver +S Buttoned-Up Button-Down Shirt
I was in Australia back in March and had promised to make my nephew a PJ Masks shirt, since that's his current obsession. My sister has four boys with this one being her third, so he's pretty accustomed to just getting hand-me-downs in the wardrobe department. As a result, he was VERY excited and proud… Continue reading Oliver +S Buttoned-Up Button-Down Shirt
Oliver + S Fairytale Dress meets Stitchery
First: I just love my baby girl! ❤ Now that I have my mushy mommy moment over, time for some details! This is the Oliver+S Fairytale Dress which was released about 5 years ago. I bought this pattern shortly after it released and used it once - to sew something for a friend. Finally, FINALLY,… Continue reading Oliver + S Fairytale Dress meets Stitchery
Oliver +S Playtime Dress & Leggings
Except for the fact that it's freezing cold, can I just say I LOVE photos in the snow? It makes such a great backdrop!!

Sewing Class for Miss 5
My eldest daughter is passionate about all things arts and crafts related (the apple might not fall far from the tree!). A couple of years ago, I decided to get her a sewing machine for Christmas (she was 4). I settled on the cute little Janome (affiliate link) and she just adored it. After sewing with… Continue reading Sewing Class for Miss 5
Oliver+S Sketchbook Shirts
Back in October, we took our kids to Disney World for a few days. I decided I would take advantage of the cheap price on character fabric at JoAnn to make my son a couple of Sketchbook shirts. They were SUCH a hit with the Cast Members at Disney! So many of them were wanting… Continue reading Oliver+S Sketchbook Shirts
Oliver+S Sailboat Tops
In preparation for our Disney trip and in conjunction with a sew-along hosted by Whimsical Fabric, I made these Oliver+S Sailboat tops for each of my kids. The fabric is lovely and soft. My plan was for it to be worn either as a top or as a lightweight sweater. Hopefully as the weather cools… Continue reading Oliver+S Sailboat Tops
