Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are feeling fine and fantastic, but if not, it’s just about the weekend! And that’s something to celebrate!! I think there may even be some gelato in the office today. Hmm… ;)

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a super sweet ruffled party dress, featuring our Scented collection, from Sophia Gracie Couture. Sophia Gracie Couture is an Etsy Shop of the most beautiful of handmade, girl and boy garments. Each design is custom and created by Lee, in her home’s sewing studio in the North of Ireland. She is often inspired by her own daughter, Sophia, of dresses and outfits she would love most. Sophia is also her mama’s little model – how cute!  Lee notes, “I take great pleasure in producing garments that are one of a kind, and made with great care and attention to detail, so that each garment is durable and also in some cases adjustable!”.

Lee designed the sweetest (pun intended! ;)) of little girl dresses, her Ruffle Party Dress, that is perfect for a tea party or day in the park. The dress features cap sleeves, four frills alternating between print & solid color fabric, and a button & loop back closure. She chose the strawberry print of our Scented collection, which her daughter says smells like sweeties! Which little girl wouldn’t want to twirl around in a pretty dress, smelling as sweet as they look! :) The dress can also be custom ordered in our other Scented collections, so if your little one prefers apple, grape, or watermelon – there’s a dress for her too!

Thank you, Lee, for the fabric love and for sharing your dress with us on Instagram. We are so happy you love our Scented as much as we do. And, it seriously is such a sweeeet dress!! If you create a project using our fabric collections, we’d love to see! You can send your photos to us or tag us on Instagram. Have an awesome weeeekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are doing fantastic today! I want to wish all of the incredible nurses a Happy Nurse’s Day – we appreciate you, you are amazing, thank you for all that you do.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an adorable Made by Rae little girl’s dress pattern that we had sewn up in-house (thanks, Tammy!), featuring our Pastel Me More Collection. Our Pastel Me More collection is just as the name suggests – beautiful pastel hues of blue, yellow, pink, and muted purple in fun geometric prints. The pastels work really well together to create unique color combinations, that are fun and girly. The happy colors in Pastel Me More are perfect for clothing, such as Made by Rae’s Geranium Dress.

We adore the versatility of the Geranium Dress, with the pattern including a range in sizes (newborn to kid’s size 12!), as well as different sleeve options (flutter sleeve, sleeveless, or faux cap sleeve). The Geranium Dress is the perfect everyday dress for your little one to go to school in or play at the park in. It ‘s such as sweet dress that can be worn casually, but also for a “nicer” event…while still feeling comfortable (which I know, is important for little ones!). We chose a blue and yellow triangle print for the bodice and pockets, and a contrasting yellow skirt, both from Pastel Me More. Super cute!! 

You can find the full pattern for Made By Rae’s Geranium Dress here. You can also find more from Made by Rae on her blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Frolicking Forest Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet.

It’s time for our weekly How To’s Day!! Today we are sharing another one of our fantastic project collaborations with you. Jennifer Hagedorn from Tie Dye Diva Patterns created the most adorable Tunic Dress and Bloomers Play Set for us, for our Free Projects Program, and we are launching the pattern for you today on the blog. Our Tunic and Bloomers Play Set is perfect for your little girl to play around in and be comfortable, while being absolutely adorable and girly at the same time. We absolutely love the bow and ruffle details on the tunic…and pockets? Yes, please! The bloomers are just as sweet, with the added ruching and bows – oh so cute!! We chose our Petite Plume Collection because it reminds us of Spring and Summer – we can imagine a little girl playing at the park in this play set, but then also strutting her stuff at a garden party or BBQ.

Because this tutorial includes two pieces, we thought it would be easier to split it into two posts. We are going to share the Tunic Dress Tutorial in this post, and the Bloomers Tutorial should be following suite. We are so thankful that we got the chance to work with the incredibly talented Jen from Tie Dye Diva – thank you SO much for creating the sweetest of play sets for our projects. Be sure to check out all of Jen’s other patterns.

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! We absolutely adore Burda Style, and are often found perusing on their website and magazines for sewing and style inspiration. They have a ton of creative and beautiful content each issue, there’s always something new, and we’re always inspired! As well, their patterns are always on-trend and such an ease to work with. They have a fantastic webisode dedicated to sharing sewing tips & tricks, as well as fun project tutorials for everyone. They have an online forum and gallery where fellow sewing enthusiasts can post their newest creations, either using a Burda Style tutorial or one that they made themselves…such a great place to share!
