Ruffles Galore Pants

Jenny from Seamingly Smitten let me sew her new Ruffles Galore Pants.  My girls love ruffly things so this was something I knew Elise was going to love to wear.  Sure enough...as soon as I finished the outfit...she wanted to put it on.   The pattern was so easy to follow, quick to sew, and the directions and pictures were awesome.  

It really is a great pattern for any level of sewer who wants to make something cute.

 You can make a single layer of ruffles or a double layer of ruffles.  Of course, my daughter wanted more ruffles.

 I used this applique for the shirt which went well with the pants. 

Thanks so much Jenny for letting me so your adorable pattern. 

Corduroy Pants and Lily Bird Studio Discount Code

This is my first time sewing a Lily Bird Studio pattern.  These are the Ben and Mia pants.  They're great for boys or girls.  She also provides directions for 3 different versions of the pants. 

There are so many things to like about this pattern but my favorite is the piping and the lined pockets. 

Look!  I even have the pockets perfectly aligned with the fabric.  Yay!  

I was so excited about the pants, I didn't pay attention to the wrinkly shirt. 

I love the fit and I just bought some fabric to make more.  My next pair is going to include the tabs on the waist with the button embellishments.  If you're interested in making these cute pants, you can save 20% off by using this code:  LBSBENMIA
Thanks Cecelia for a great pattern and the special discount.

Warning.....SHINY!!!

I knew that I was going to use Jocole's  patterns to make a knit shirt and ruffle pants.  I had a picture in my mind of how this outfit would look.  How quickly plans change.  When we got to the fabric store, my daughter begged me to get this fabric.  If you saw the look on her face and how badly she wanted it...you would understand why I couldn't say no. 

At this age...there's no such thing as too shiny. 

The patterns and the directions are awesome.  You don't need a lot of fabric or you could repurpose old shirts.
