When Lil put on this Mini Poppy dress for church a couple of weeks ago, I realised that I have never taken photos to share with you. Lucky we were a smidge early for church and managed to squeeze in a few photos before we left!
I think the Mini Poppy is one of my most favourite little girl patterns. Not too fussy, but still cute. And I love that it suits older girls just as much as it suits little girls too, making it very versatile.
We need to start thinking about the winter wardrobe and I think a few more Mini Poppy dresses will be in order! Although she will be wearing this one forever because once it is too short for a dress then it can be worn as a tunic/top with some leggings or jeans.
I sewed another Waterfall Blouse for myself last weeekend. I love how quick this pattern is to sew up, the whole thing was cut and sewn in a couple of hours – how’s that for instant gratification?!
I also love that I am able to make something pretty and comfortable to wear during the last few weeks of my pregnancy that will also be wearable after the baby is born.
This pattern has proved to be SO popular (especially in the PDF download department) – I can’t wait to see what you sew up with it. Make sure you send me pics or links to your blog posts or add to my Flickr group.
I got this fabric from Spotlight. I know I’m always going on about how dodgy Spotlight is, but I do manage to find a few decent fabrics every now and then. It seems that they do one thing well every season – last time I went in there were some great dress fabrics. This one is a crepe and is really lightweight and doesn’t crush at all – I love not having to iron after washing!
The tradionalEaster jammies actually got finished in time for Easter this year! I know most sewers have a tradition of sewing pretty Easter dresses and ties for their kids, but for me, Easter always signifies the start of cooler weather and the kids always seem to be needing new PJs so this works for us.
Oscar has refused to wear jammies for the last couple of years and always opts for a comfy tshirt and pair of shorts. His favourite shorts by far are his Long Boards (he’s even worn holes through a few of the bottoms) so it made sense to whip him up a pair for sleeping, the ribbed waistband makes them super comfy. I didn’t bother with knee patches on these ones as they won’t get as much wear and tear so I kept them nice and simple. The tshirt was made using my Basic Tees pattern.
Tommy’s PJs were made using my Slumber Party Jammies pattern. They are big for him now, so he will easily get a couple of years wear from them. And his top was made using my Basic Tees pattern.
Lil got two pairs of PJ pants for Easter. Three years ago I made myself some snuggly flannel PJs and I obviously wore them to death because the bottoms were becoming threadbare and I’d worn holes in them. I thought it was a waste to throw them out because most of the fabric was still in good condition, so I managed to cut them down and make into PJ pants for Lil! If they were store-bought, I wouldn’t have thought twice about throwing them in the rag bag, but I couldn’t bear to throw good quality fabric that could still be put to use in the bin!
And that’s a wrap for this Easter! We’ll do it again next year!
