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.

Sock Monkey Outfit

Mia loves monkeys.  She wears her sock monkey slippers all the time.  When I saw this fabric, I knew I had to make her something with it. 


The embroidery design on the shirt came from embroidery boutique.
Of course, she needed a matching bow. 

Here's a pic of her being silly.

Knit Skirt for School

This skirt was inspired by a picture I saw in a magazine. 



I like how the angled pieces give the skirt a different look.

Owl Outfit

I'm so excited!  I finally got this Dancer Skirt Pattern.  I shirred the waist but the pattern gives you different options.   The applique on the shirt came from designs by juju. 

Really...the orange on the owl applique isn't as bright as it appears in this picture. 

Mia loves the attached shorts.

Tweety Bird Dress

Elise loved this Tweety Bird fabric.  I found this sew along and decided to give it a try.  I'm thrilled that it turned out so cute. 
She was so excited!  She had to go around and show everyone her new dress. 

  Thanks so much to Sweet Pea and Pumkins for the pattern.

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.

Another Reversible Skirt

My daughter calls this her "flip skirt".  It's actually called the Claire Linn Reversible Waveland Skirt.  I was thinking, this will be great for 2 outfits on different days.  Elise had something else in mind.  She wore the lion side for half a day. 

Then she wanted it flipped to wear the giraffe side the other half of the day.
