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.

This pattern is from Tenderfeet Stitches.  It's thePlum Creek Prairie Girl dress. 

I love the look of these ruffly sleeves and Elise is thrilled that the dress has a bow.  With this pattern, you can make long or short sleeves and add an apron if you choose.

Pretty Peasant Dress

 When I got the Malyn's Pretty Peasant Dress pattern to sew for Create Kids Couture, I knew I was going to use the horse print fabric by Michael Miller.   I love the colors in the prints.  Each time I sew a Pattern by Create Kids Couture, it immediately becomes a new favorite. 

Of course, she can't wear this dress without her pink cowgirl boots. 

 

Pink and girly....another winning combination!

Christmas Cutie Grinch Dress

This grinch fabric is so bright and colorful.  I used Sophia's Open Back Ruffled Pattern to make this dress for my daughter to wear to school. 

Polka dots and ruffles what a great combination. 

 All of the Create Kids Couture patterns I've sewn have been awesome and I always end up with the cutest dresses that my daughter loves.  Can't wait to see what Shannon and Tiffany come up with next.  Be sure to check out their shop.

Knit Crossover Tunic

Have I mentioned how much I love Jocole's patterns?  This is her Crossover Tunic pattern.  Whenever I sew any of her patterns, I know the pieces will fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces. 

Best of all, her patterns are easy to follow, quick to sew, and full of helpful tips for working with knits. 

She also provides different length options so the tunic could be worn with pants or made as a dress. 

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.

Double Layer Ruffle Dress

I heart making ruffly girly dresses and Create Kids Couture offers some of the cutest patterns. I have never been disappointed with any of their patterns and my daughter never wants to take the pretty dresses off.  I'm enjoying sewing for her. 

Circle Flounce Dress

This pattern is well written with easy to follow directions and great accompanying pictures. 

This pattern comes in sizes for younger girls

but I'm thrilled that she makes the patterns for older girls too. 

The snap closures are a fun addition. 

Skirt and Shirt for the 4th

I used McCall's OOP pattern 6021 to make this skirt.  Mia was skipping, dancing, and twirling around throughout the day.  The fit was perfect. The only pattern alteration I made was that I used a rolled hem on each layer. 

The design for the shirt came from here. 

Brooke selected this design for her shirt.
