I’ve wrote before about the challenges of sewing for “my big” girl – it’s difficult to find a balance between my preferences and her desire to make a (fashion) statement with her clothing. Some days are difficult than others (I’m actually glad she’s still wearing a uniform to school) – if she could have her… Continue reading Rushbrook Dress and Top
There’s a new pattern from Bebekins – the Arlow dress and I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do đ Faithful to her style, Diorella designed a classic dress with lots of options and details: 4 necklines, 5 collars, and 3 sleeve options to choose from. Plus, there’s a tie back option, that is so… Continue reading Arlow Dress

Anyway, soon after Polly’s released, Diorella started working… Continue reading Robin Ruffle Dress

Very happy, to be honest đ The just-released Juliette Top and Dress from the (uber) talented Suz from Sewpony in collaboration wih Jill from Kneesocks and Goldilocks,… Continue reading The Juliette Top and Dress
I tested the Adelaide Dress by The Cottage Mama back in February but the lighting was not good enough to proper outdoor photos and indoor photos were a resource solution.  Nevertheless, it’s been quite a while (and this dress already had quite a few wears) and I still haven’t replace the original (indoor) photos – it’s obviously my fault as I always… Continue reading Adelaide Dress | The Cottage Mama
