Challenging, Beautiful Dress

My daughter and I spent three days over a long weekend sewing this dress for her. She is still finishing the hem. The instructions were wonderful, and we learned much. We both plan to make more Windwards.

Great pattern!

The pattern, especially the instructions, were amazing! My 10 year old was able to make this vest almost all on his own for the fair. Thank you for making quality patterns!

Wonderful pattern

I tried out the free pattern a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it! I've made several more since then, and have recently purchased the pattern to include larger sizes. I make all of mine reversible and the longest lengths, so not only are they like a two-in-one dress, but they can be worn as dresses or over pants, a shirt, or both! What's not to love! I plan to make coordinating bucket hats and mini-totes as well. I've included photos and a couple of them wouldn't hang well, but you can see some of what I've made so far :-)

Delightful Projects for a Home Grown Party

I have made two of the patterns in the Celebrating Ebook, the reusable crackers and the wands. They were both so much fun, and the results were incredibly satisfying. The reusable crackers seemed like the perfect gift for my dad, who loves giving party favors. I thought he would like something to secrete his gifts in. I made fancy crackers with bright scrap panels, and used strips of fabric to make the ties. I love how wonderful they look! They were not difficult at all, and the method for putting them together is great, so that all seams are hidden or sewn down by the velcro so there is no hand sewing required. I also loved the wands as a way to use up scrap fabric. I used fabric strips for the tails and used fray check so that the tails will stay looking nice for a long time. I did depart from the instructions in making the wands, as I used woven fabric rather than felt. I put a long post over in The Treehouse, the private Circle group for T+T sewists, if anyone is interested in doing what I did. I love these patterns and I look forward to making others from the Ebook

Cutest little ruffle brim bonnets

I made this cute bonnet with the ruffle add-on, and it turned out super cute. The first one was the smallest size, I used cotton jersey with interfacing, and double interfacing on the ruffle brim, itt was a bit too stiff. (This is the small flowers on white background one). The second one was made of simple quilting cotton, with only one layer of interfacing on the brim, and this was much better fabric choice for a summer baby bonnet.
