Thanks for entering! This giveaway is now closed, but you can come back tomorrow morning for another lovely giveaway!
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….four colly* birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree!
….and Rae gave to me a Charlie Tunic sewing pattern!
As you can see, there is no shortage of cute going on here:
1. red & gold, 2. ugly duckling, 3. pink buttons, 4. brown with short sleeves

The tunic looks just as adorable as a dress, which is easily done using the…
This week, as part of my personal countdown to KCWC, I’m throwing pictures at the blog of things I’ve made for the kids this year that never got blogged. It’s my own little challenge, to try and “clean out the virtual closet” before I go and make more clothes for them next week. I’ll even show you some of the new kids patterns I’ve been working on. Fun Fun!
I cut these pants out last December (you may remember me bemoaning my chronic procrastination and the ginormous pile of unfinished projects in a post entitled Overcoming Christmas Craft-Related Despair, this was one of those projects, I declared at the time that they would someday become “the Awesomest Pair…
I’m so excited to be part of Sarah Jane’s Out to Sea Blog Tour today! I’m going to show you the adorable Charlie Tunic I made for Elliot with two of the Out to Sea prints, along with a tutorial on how to add the button placket.
The Out to Sea collection is absolutely stunning. Sarah is so talented! We met last Spring at Quilt Market and got to see this collection first hand in all of its glory. I also really love her first line, Children at Play, with sweet illustrations that show the carefree days of childhood. I think it’s great that her fabric collections have both featured a number of designs for BOYS! …
His old swimshirt* was all worn out from multiple years of use so I thought to myself, is a swimshirt something one can make? Then I thought, why ever not, you dum-dum? Plus I’m all about experimenting lately. His other swimshirts have always been raglan style (sleeves go all the way up to the neck) so I used the Tee for Two Pattern by Figgy’s that gets so much use around here and $10 worth of swim material from Fields. You could definitely use another t-shirt pattern and get a similar effect though. I made him a whale swimshirt, because he’s into whales lately:
*Other (normal) people call this a “rashguard,” but the thought of my…
Here’s another new item of clothing for the little E’s wardrobe:
To be honest I’m a little nervous about showing you these pants because although they are totally “me” in a colorful/loud/over-the-top kind of way, I could see where some people would think they were insane even for a small child. But I really like them, and the best (and possibly most unbelievable part) is that E really likes them too. We’ve at least temporarily left the “if-you-put-this-on-mommy-will-give-you-a-piece-of-chocolate” phase and he’s starting to — joy of joys! – actually pick out the things that I have made for him in the morning. Now I’m no fool, I know part of this is because his poor little Type-A-Oldest-Child…
I know it’s just starting for all of you, but Celebrate the Boy has been on the brain over here for a long time. For the last month I’ve dedicated a good portion of my sewing time to just making clothing for Elliot. I love how sewing for a child makes you spend time thinking about them. For one thing it’s made me realize how very little baby is left of him.
I always have more ambitious ideas of what I want to do than what actually gets executed, but still, it’s been fun for me to plan a whole new
