Sewing Pattern Giveaway!

The following saying keeps coming in front of me: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”-Winston Churchhill

And since this is a sewing blog then I would like to give away another sewing pattern..... rather two sewing patterns! This giveaway will be my two newest patterns: the Twirl SKORT and the Boutique Easter Basket!! So, the first person who comments on this post will be blessed with these two sewing patterns! (Now in reference to the quote above: I am not trying to make a life out of the sewing pattern business but rather a life of blessing others! Just wanted to clarify that.)
Quite Beautiful! The Twirl SKORT: where being modest is Fun!

I have designed this SKORT so that our children can have fun playing while keeping our daughters “girly” and modest. The Twirl SKORT combines the popular twirl skirt with the pantaloon! That’s right: a twirl skirt with sewn in shorts! Now your little princess can keep her skirt on while she jumps, twirls, slides, flips, rides her bike, and does cartwheels!Great for the beginner to the advanced sewer! Easy to follow step-by-step instructions along with lots of pictures to guide you through each step! Not only is this a unique and cute skort, but very easy to sew! Dress it up with a peasant top and boots or go casual with some cute high tops and appliqué t-shirt! Whatever style you chose, your little one will surely turn heads! It is also simple enough to sew for a quick gift for your niece or granddaughter!

"You Can SEW This!"

Yet another awesome addition to the You Can Make This! site. Kim, the founder of YCMT never ceases to amaze me! Her site has inspired me tremendously in my sewing hobby and business so this new addition, the "You Can SEW This!" newsletter is going to be enjoyed by me! If you want to find out more and sign-up for it, then click here. You also get some pretty awesome downloads!! Check it out!

Dress Top Sewing Pattern Correction and Pattern Layout!

If any of you purchased my Dress Top sewing pattern, please make the following correction to your eBook. When I calculated for the yardage needed, I forgot to add the bodice. For the size 5/6, you will need 41" instead of 1 yard. And this is if you are using all of the fabric. My advice, to be on the safe side, is to purchase 1 1/2 yards. You will have some left over but I would rather have some left over than be too short!! As I am sure you would too!


Also, I am including in this post a draft of how the pattern will be cut to utilize all of your fabric, economically speaking. When you purchase your fabric it is already folded in half. You will unfold and find the middle. Now take the top end and fold towards middle. Take the bottom end and fold toward the middle making two folds. Cut out your front and back. Next refold your fabric with one fold (as you bought it). Now cut your bodice liner on fold, and cut your strap strips and ruffle strips back to back. I will refine this drawing and make a revised Dress Top eBook. Until then I will add the correction to the eBook.

Twirl SKORT !

My friend created two separate pieces for her daughter using the Twirl SKORT sewing pattern. She created a skirt and a separate pair of shorts. Looks cute, MorningSong! She then sent a picture with her daughter wearing them together. Still cute!! Thanks for sending the pictures!

Side note: If any of you decide to make the Twirl SKORT as two separate pieces, please know that the shorts will look a little longer than if you made it into one piece! (This is because the waist to the skirt is higher on the body than the shorts are. As a Twirl SKORT, the waist is one for both making the shorts long enough to see just the shorts ruffle making it actually look like a double ruffle twirl skirt!) Either way is cute!

Honesty!! something so valuable!!!

Well, I had an eye opener today from a very honest buyer!! I store some of my sewing patterns on a site that when you purchase one of my listings on ebay and pay through paypal the buyer is given a link to the sewing pattern. Well, I was informed by this precious buyer who purchased my Easter Basket sewing pattern that she also had access to the Twirl SKORT! I immediately went to this site to delete my patterns and contacted them and now I know how this site works! I also saw that my patterns on this site had been downloaded more than was purchased and that is ok. I cannot live my life judging others or give one ounce of myself to a negative attitude. I know the wages of sin and I chose not to walk that path. The fear of God is very strong within me. That keeps me straight and honest! I have given this sewing pattern business to God and the success of it is all because of Him! I do ask that any of you that purchase my patterns please do not copy or distribute any of its content to anybody. With that said, if you are reading this and for some reason you cannot afford to purchase a pattern, I will gladly bless you with a pattern. I am a very honest woman of God and I live my life by the Bible and I give all the glory to God for my life and I serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my body, and all my spirit. This is a small glimpse of who I am and who you are buying from. I just wanted to share what was on my heart at this moment.

Purse, Bible Cover, and Diaper Wipee Bag!

This is my latest sewing project: a purse, bible cover, and a diaper wipee bag! It was well time for all three! I used Amy Butler fabric. The diaper wipee was actually my original bible cover but I miscalculated so that's how it became Elijah's church diaper wipee bag. This was the first time I did this size and I added a zipper. There are a couple things I need to change. There is a pocket on the outside and three pockets on the inside. The bottom is wide enough for me to carry my bible and diaper wipee bag along with wallet and lipstick!

Boutique Bottoms and Twirl SKORT sewing patterns! Customer comments and Creations

" This is SewSensible's Boutique Bottoms pattern. I am a beginner and I loved the pattern; it was so easy to follow. Look how cute the bottoms turned out! "

"Hi Aimee, I finally completed the outfit today it turned out better than the pic did but this looks so cute on her and I love the fact that with the
skort her diaper doesnt show. Thank You So Much"

These are several pictures of some pretty awesome creations from some talented customers using the Boutique Bottoms sewing pattern and the Twirl SKORT Sewing Pattern! Pretty cute "models" as well! Thanks to each of you for sending them in. This truly blesses me!! And if you purchased any of my patterns, please feel free sending in your creations at sewsensible@cox.net. I would love to see what you are creating!!

Boutique Bottoms Sewing Pattern!

My friend MorningSong just finished making her daughter two pairs of pants using my Boutique Bottoms sewing pattern. Here is what she said,

"My good friend SewSensible has another great pattern available on You Can Make This and eBay. I LOVE HER PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made a pair for HC last night!! SEW easy!! :) SOOO easy too!!"

Thanks, MorningSong, for the kind words!!

Sewing Pattern Giveaway!

Hello! and Hello to all the people of Australia! It is amazing how the internet can bring people from around the world together! Do you know that half of my buyers are from Australia! This probably has all to do with their weather there. If I am correct, it is hot. I will have to go to weather.com and see the temps. Anyway, thank all of you who have purchased my patterns. I am receiving excellent feedback which really blesses me. I am also happy to say that those beginner sewers are doing it!! Way to go!! And know that sewing is addictive!! LOL so is buying fabric!!

OK, I really would like to giveaway another pattern. Actually, I am going to giveaway three. It will be the Dress Top, Boutique Bottoms, and the Easter Basket pattern. I am hoping that someone will make an Easter outfit with a matching Easter basket and then send me the pictures!! If any of you would like to make an Easter outfit with the matching basket, please let me know and I will send you all three sewing patterns!! So the first person who comments on this post will receive these patterns!

Easter Baskets!

Someone commented on my last post asking me if the baskets are that easy. The only way to answer that is to say that I design and create all of my sewing patterns with the beginner in mind. That's the great benefit of the eBook. There are so many pictures of almost every step and the instructions are very detailed. If you can sew a straight stitch then I believe you should be able to sew any of my patterns. I am also here to help any of you that have questions. Here is what someone said,

"I recently purchased your 3 patterns on ebay. I just wanted to tell you I have enjoyed them already. I have never sewed anything other than a pillow in High School 15 years age. Since I received the patterns I have sewed the dress top and bottoms for my little girl and also some pj bottoms for my son."

As a side note: I have added another size to the baskets so the pattern will have three sizes instead of two!

Easter Basket Sewing Pattern!

Here it is..... a Custom Easter Basket sewing pattern! I did the final testing today and will post a picture of it tonight! I just listed it on eBay and submitted it to You Can Make This! This was a fun project to sew!

Here is the Description:

New Sewing Pattern!

Here is a glimpse of my next sewing pattern. This one is a fun sewing project for your little princess or great as a gift! I am going to test the dimensions again today and will give more details, hopefully, tonight!

Twirl Skirt Twirl Skort

I wanted to share some feedback I received from someone who purchased the Twirl SKORT:

"Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I made the pattern that I bought last night and it has to be one of the cutest patterns that I have made for
my grandaughter yet."

Now, this really made me smile and excited!! Thank you so much for the nice words!!

Twirl Skirt ??

No, it is not a Twirl skirt instead it is a Twirl SKORT!! My Twirl SKORT Sewing Pattern! I am very excited with this design because I have not seen another where the Twirl Skirt and pantaloon are combined.....BUT NOW THERE ARE!!!! I believe if you love the twirl skirt you will really love the Twirl SKORT! Why? Well, my girls love to play outside and they love their skirts and I like to keep them modest. So when we come home from church and they go outside and play, I don't have to let them change from their skirts to their shorts or pants in order that their un*dies will not show when they are flipping on the play yard! Now they can keep their skirt on!! Here is the description:

Quite Beautiful! The Twirl SKORT: where being modest is Fun!
I have designed this SKORT so that our children can have fun playing while keeping our daughters “girly” and modest. The Twirl SKORT combines the popular twirl skirt with the pantaloon! That’s right: a twirl skirt with sewn in shorts! Now your little princess can keep her skirt on while she jumps, twirls, slides, flips, rides her bike, and does cartwheels!

Not only is this a unique and cute skort, but very easy to sew! Dress it up with a peasant top and boots or go casual with some cute high tops and appliqué t-shirt! Whatever style you chose, your little one will surely turn heads! It is also simple enough to sew for a quick gift for your niece or granddaughter!

I plan to make the piece this weekend with my Amy Butler fabric I specifically purchased for this sewing pattern and use my Mother-in-law's camera because mine refuses to work! Thanks, Mom Trixie, for letting me borrow your camera!

Fleece Jacket

This weekend my daughter and my twin six month old granddaughters came over for our family picture. I had ordered some Cheetah print fleece fabric to make some jackets for my daughters and I knew I would have some fabric left over so Sunday while they were here I made them each a fleece jacket!

Pinafore Dress!

I have been busy sewing! I decided to use this pinafore dress pattern for all my girls' Christmas dresses and for my nieces. Here are my nieces dresses! They turned out so cute but they always look better on a model. I'll have to put a picture of all of them wearing them for their Christmas picture!

Free Sewing Pattern for Shopping Bag!

I was up at 1:45am nursing and putting our 10 month old back to bed and decided to walk to the computer for an email check! I should have known I would go to sewing links!! LOL So here I am showing you what I found! I visited the Boutique Life from Journal Modiste and she had this great tutorial on making your own shopping bags! Cute Cute!!
