Plum Creek Prairie Girl Dress

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. 


Amanda has many cute patterns listed in her shop and I just found her Princess Collection.
Super Cute!!!!

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.

Peasant Dress

Aqua is one on my new favorite colors. 
I think my daughter looks so cute in her new dress. 


I added ric rac and flower embellsihments to jazz it up. 



I love how they included directions for adding the lace.  
It gives the peasant style dress a new look. 
They have so many adorable patterns that are perfect for girly girls.

Basic Knit Leggings

My local fabric store doesn't have a large selection of knit fabrics.  I found some that I really liked at fabric.com and I used this pattern to make a pair of leggings.  It doesn't get any easier.  I made these in less time than it would have taken me to go to the store, pick out a pair, and get back home. 

Now, I always have my eyes open for cute knit prints. Please share if you know of any other great fabric sources.
