For KCW I usually only select patterns that I had sewn before and, therefore, I’m confident that could be accomplished within the 1-hour time-frame (with some exceptions, of course). But for the last day of KCW July 2014 I decided to sew a just-released pattern from Citronille: the Rosamée dress. I was immediately taken by the simple… Continue reading Day Seven: KCW July 2014
Today, you can find me at the Mara Blog with a new version of the lovely Mara blouse 🙂 This version was a special request by my girl: She was eager to have a “Mara with sleeve-holes” (aka, sleeveless), loose enough to be worn for playing outside – apparently when its brazing hot outside, fitted clothes are… Continue reading Day Six: KCW July 2014 – A much requested Mara Blouse
Usually KCW starts earlier for me – I tried to sew one week in advance so that I can find some time to blog about the projects during the actual KCW. For this KCW July 2014 I did managed to sew in advance (all but one very special project, which is still in the making… Continue reading Day Four: KCW July 2014
There were a couple of patterns I knew I wanted to sew for KWC: Children’s Corner Frannie (dress) was definitively on the top of my list. KCW recommends to sew for 1 hour/day and I knew I would be able to complete this dress within that time frame (yes, that’s as simple especially if you… Continue reading Day Three: KCW July 2014
When Willow & Co. patterns were released a couple of months ago there were several patterns that made into my sewing-wish list in the blink of an eye. The Clover shorts and the Fawn Lily tunic (and dress) were my first selection and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My girl loves dresses almost as… Continue reading Day Two: KCW July 2014
Once again, KCW is here (remember the motto: Sew clothes for your kids, 1 hour a day, each day for 7 days). From today until next Sunday, 27 July 2014, it’s the summer edition of Kid’s Clothes Week: lots of sundresses, tops and shorts will be feature by so many talented ladies (you can check it all… Continue reading Day One: KCW July 2014
I am a bit picky when it comes to children’s nightwear. Obviously, I strongly believe children should wear comfy clothes to sleep, and that can be something as simple as a tee and a pair of shorts (and trust me, my kids wear this combo quite a lot), but I love the vintage nightgowns I used… Continue reading (Vintage) Claire’s Nightgown
As you should now by now, one of my favorite things to sew are dresses. And sundresses are just as good: easy to sew, perfect to wear and always the perfect addition to a girl’s wardrobe. Since its release (in 2011), I’ve been sewing my girl one Seashore sundress (by Oliver+S) every summer, but I never managed to get… Continue reading Sundress season is here 🙂
After the enthusiastic reception my girl gave the Laura dress (here), I was highly motivated to sew the top version. I selected the unlined short sleeve top version and one of my favorite summer fabric combo: seersucker and Liberty (scraps from two previous projects. Barely enough for the top). Despite my planning, as soon as the weather warms… Continue reading As promised … the Laura top
