Make It Perfect
Brrr…it’s cold! Still plenty of time to get stuck into some Winter sewing and I’ve just finished up designing my latest pattern – a super trendy little girl’s coat:
Serendipity
Playing outside is only fun when you are warm and the Serendipity coat is designed to keep you warm – and looking good!
Featuring cute pleat detail in the front and back, Serendipity is a stylish double-breasted coat with a sweet Peter Pan collar and side pockets to keep those little hands warm.
Serendipity is a gorgeous coat guaranteed to brighten up any drab, rainy day.
I thought it was about time to introduce a new girl’s winter coat/jacket to the Make It Perfect range. Serendipity is classy and sophisticated and most importantly – warm, warm, warm!
Serendipity comes in two size ranges, catering for sizes 6 months to 10 years. You’ll find more information about Serendipity on the Make It Perfect website. If you are looking for a place to purchase a copy of the pattern for yourself, take a look at our stockists or ask your favourite store to order one in for you.
A massive THANKYOU to Makayla Graham Photography (blog here/facebook here) for the beautiful photos – she did an amazing job with them at our favourite funky farm and we were blessed with a small opening of clear weather on a super rainy day! Thanks Makayla 🙂

New jimmy jams for the smallest two.
Modeled straight out of bed, with crazy hair (that I have to tame every day!) and a full nappy!! No hair, clothing or makeup department around here 🙂
And this little vegemite decided that the aim of the game was to hide his face from the camera. He was totally successful – great job Tommy! I’m just happy to get a photo or two for the blog!
The jammies are extremely comfortable. I had a whole heap of that pink floral interlock in my stash that I wanted to get rid of, and to be honest, I’m not a fan of the quality of the Michael Miller knits. They wash and wear really well but stretch out of shape like crazy so the only thing I wanted to make with it was PJs. And while I was making one pair, I had enough pink floral left over for Lil’s cousin and then pulled out the grey interlock (from Crafty Mamas but all sold out now I think) for Tommy too.
I used my Basic Tees pattern for the tops and the Long Johns pattern from Growing Up Sew Liberated (cool book actually, I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do).
People often ask me how I get so much sewing done – one answer is the success of the production line! You can sew much faster if you are doing the same thing over again. It gets a little monotonous but you definitley chug through the workload a lot faster.
And that, my friends, is the end of the Winter pyjama sewing for 2012. Bring on Summer! I’m so over the cold!!

It’s time to share some love at Make It Perfect today – I’ve got a FREEBIE pattern for you 🙂
30-MINUTE SKIRT
This skirt is my absolute favourite at the moment…stretchy, comfortable, versatile and it only takes 30 MINUTES to make – that’s from the time you cut the fabric ’till you’ve sewn up the hem. Brilliant!
If you’re not too confident sewing with knits, let this be the pattern you start on! With just two pieces to cut, two seams to join and a length of elastic to sew around the top – there’s nothing daunting about this project.
And to make things even easier for you, I’ve written the pattern in loads of detail with step-by-step photographs and lots of information about sewing with knits. It’s available over at my website as a free PDF download.
I hope you have lots of fun sewing 30-Minute Skirts! Please pop by and share your creations in my Flickr group or send me an email – I love to see your work 🙂
