"Dear Aimee, Thank you so much for the beautiful pattern.

Happy Girl sewing pattern coming this weekend!



Almost here! I have finished the back cover. We have an adoption fellowship today at our city park so I will be away from the computer today but hope to continue finishing the final details of getting this pattern released tomorrow (and Grace's 5th birthday party is tomorrow!) The busy life of a work at home Mom!!!!!

To all you busy Mom's I salute you and give you today this scripture that spoke VOLUMES to me yesterday morning. God always comes at just the right time to give us encouragement! I was having one of those nights where I just was so disappointed in how I reacted to my children and thought about all the ways I could have done it differently..... you know..... "could've lowered my voice", "could've said it a different way", "could've smiled instead of been frustrated"..... all those "could haves". And when I woke up yesterday morning the daily devotional I get on my computer said, "Read through Romans 8:28-39. Thank God for loving you, regardless of how well you are doing as a parent." WOW! Did I ever need that word of encouragement! I love my family and children dearly and I believe I do a good job fulfilling that role BUT I always want to be open to be even better! So for all you Mom's reading this who wish they "could've done it differently" (whatever that is), I want to give you encouragement!!!!! He loves you regardless!


Romans 8:28-31 And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him, [fn] who [fn] have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Happy Girl sewing pattern almost here!



I am popping over on the blog just to show you what I have been working on! This is the front cover. We took some pictures today that I'll have to share. The girls were too funny. I probably was a little too intense BUT..... oh well, no excuses!


I now will be working on the back cover so off I go! See you soon......

Happy Girl Sewing Pattern coming soon!



Still working hard to get Happy Girl out!! Looks like it is pushed until this weekend because I have decided to add a simple headband to the pattern! You are going to love the changes from the original picture from January! It is such an easy sew and looks absolutely adorable on the girls (if I may say so myself ;)! Above is the long version or below the knee version. I have not hemmed this one yet and I need to add the green fabric covered buttons that will look cute cute! Grace is also wearing the simple headband that will be with this pattern.

Happy Girl Sewing Pattern coming this week!

Sister Love! they love each other so much!

the look is sweet with a subtle scallop accent that just adds an adorable delicate look!

they are so sweet and cute! Love them!
they were probably telling each other "Mom needs to chill!"

this picture is SO Grace!!!!! She is my little goofer-offer! (is that how you say it and spell it!)




So yesterday I photographed the girls for the Happy Girl sewing pattern cover downloadable version. I have to say that this is not my expertise!! First, I know I did this at the wrong time of day (bright and sunny!) and second, I am still learning my camera! Yes, it can be so frustrating! I have narrowed down to one for the downloadable version cover. The physcial version will be different because I am adding a bonus pattern. The pictures above are just some fun shots of the girls. They were good sports while Mommy freaked out a couple times too many!! HA!!


These are the above the knee option with either gathered or pleated dress. Rose is wearing the gathered version and Grace is wearing the pleated version. I am working hard to get this out by Wednesday!

New Sewing Pattern: Happy Girl!

Happy Girl

I am diligently working to get this pattern released before the end of February! Thanks to all the feedback from the wonderful testers and all my testing I did the dress has changed a little bit from the original 1920's low waist inspiration (and believe me you will love the changes from the original!) It fits better and the sewing is much easier! So what has changed? I got rid of the waist band. I redesigned the bodice top. I added an option gathered panel at the bottom or the pleated panel option and I added side ties which really gives it the sweetest look when on! I finished the directions just now, printed them out and will proof read them tonight. I still need to get the pattern pages on paper and put into pdf. When is the last day of February? It is Sunday!!!!! Reality is: this pattern will not be available until Wednesday of next week only because I give the pattern pages to my husband to make into pdf!

The picture above is one of the cover dresses. I still need to add the fabric covered buttons on the scallop accent and hem the bottom. There will also be an option to have an above the knee length and a below the knee length. Wouldn't this make a cute Easter Dress!!? I just might make the two cover dresses two of my daughters Easter Dresses! We will see!

As always, all of my patterns are designed with the beginner in mind and this one is no different! I have made it very simple to sew and still give it that sweet boutique look! The downloadable version will be available this week and the physical version will be several more months but it will have the cutest bonus pattern to go along with the physical!

Working on New Sewing Patterns!


Yesterday was just a beautiful Louisiana day and today looks to be promising as well! The children were able to play outside pretty much all day while my wonderful hubby continued working on some cabinets that will go in our side room. It will be used for the kiddos computer space along with my fabric and pattern supply storage. I picked the colors yesterday and the first layer was applied. Today it will hopefully get a little sanding and then the second layer.

Above is another variation of Mod Girl sewing pattern. This is the dress top version. There will also be a dress version. I have to say I tested this pattern ALL DAY yesterday! I am not kidding. I was busy running from window to door checking on the children then back to sewing machine all day. I just cannot get the neckline the way I was hoping so I made this variation and I love it. It is a simple yet sweet modern look! Oh, and super easy to sew!

I will be focusing on the three new patterns this week. Hopefully getting
Happy Girl out by the end of February.

Today I am home from church due to my precious 3 year old's nasty cold; however, our church has online service which I am surely going to watch since our pastor is talking about Total Trust In a Total God! Sounds like something I surely need to keep reminding myself. If any of you are sewing or have a sick little one this morning and cannot make church then go here for live online service.

Meet Frilly Frock girl Sewing Pattern!!




Remember Grace's birthday dress from last year? I made this and wanted to make a pattern but never got around to it BUT I finally got around to it!!!!!

Meet Frilly Frock girl! She is going to be so sweet and frilly!! This will be a dress top or a dress option. I will let you know more details at a later date.

I am still waiting for Happy Girl tester feedback and comments. I have decided to add an optional gathered dress panel instead of just letting it be a pleated dress panel. I am also working on another pattern that I believe you will love as much as I do! I hope to have a sample to show you next week!

So do you like what you see below? I am thrilled with it! There is a cute pocket with ruffle trim on center of bodice. There is a band with a double ruffle where you can stop here for a dress top or add a third layer for a longer style dress! so excited!! I hope to have this as a download in March and as a physical several months later.

FAITH Double Layer Dress Top Sewing Pattern!


Ok!! So do you want this fabric too!! My word! So cute!! Of course those little girls would look cute in anything! This awesome Mommy creation was made using FAITH Double Layer Dress Top and some Michael Miller fabric and here is what she said, "We are going on vacation next month and one of the things we are going to do is go to the San Diego Zoo. So, I had to make my girls matching zoo themed tops with the Faith pattern. This is the first time I have used this pattern and it is awesome. So easy to sew and my girls loved them so much they wanted to wear them today. Which was fine, until my little one spilled chocolate milk on hers. If I have enough fabric left over I am going to make some boutique bottoms." J

J, just beautiful!! I also want to say that J was inspired to make these from seeing other people's awesome creations on this site! So may this in return inspire others!! If you are a beginner and looking for a great outfit to begin your sewing experience the FAITH Double Layer Dress Top is that simple paired with SewSensible Boutique Bottoms. If you would prefer a physical pattern rather than a downloadable one then please browse the different fabric/quilt shops on the right side bar. Also, many of these shops sell fabric as well! Coming in a new post soon is a fabric shop that sent me the cutest outfit made with the Reversible Pleated Dress Top! Can't wait to share that with you!!


If you are a fabric/quilt shop and sell SewSensible Boutique Patterns and are not on this list, please let me know and I will add you. Or if you are a quilt/fabric shop and would like to carry SewSensible Boutique Patterns, please contact one of the distributors at the right side bar for wholesale information. If you are a distributor and would like to carry SewSensible Boutique Sewing Patterns, please contact me for more information. All of SewSensible Boutique Patterns are designed with the beginner in mind!

New Sewing Pattern Happy Girl!



Meet Happy Girl! In another post I'll have to tell you how this name came about. This post gives you more of an idea of what the new sewing pattern will look like! This is not the cover. This is actually a test of the changed pattern pieces and of course I used my good fabric when I told the testers not to on their testing :) Thank God it fit! I have not hemmed the bottom yet and I added "faux" which sounds better than "fake" buttons. They are actually drawn in :) This dress was originally inspired by the 1920's drop waist dress but when I tested it the dress made my daughters shape look so funny. As one tester said and she was so right, "it looks mermaidy". So I came back and raised the waist a little higher and changed the front and back top band. The bottom panel of the dress is pleated with a subtle femininity of side ties. It also has a pretty scallop and ric rac accent on the front of the dress. It is hard to see the details from this picture.


Anyway, it is at the testers right now and I believe I can have this one ready in the next 12 days! Again, all of my patterns are designed with the beginner in mind!


Wouldn't this make the sweetest Easter dress with a matching Boutique Easter Basket!! ;)

Applique Apron Skirt Sewing Pattern, Boutique Bottoms Sewing Pattern, Twirl SKORT Sewing Pattern!

"Your patterns are SO easy!" T

I received the sweetest twitter comment yesterday from Tara and as a result of that she sent me a picture of her beautiful daughter wearing her Boutique Bottoms! Thanks, Tara, for the sweet words and the wonderful picture!! With her permission I am including her blog post titled Sewing Time! Check it out if you have time!


Here is another awesome Mommy creation using Applique Apron Skirt! How cute!! Looks awesome, C! Here is what she said, "Hi Again, Aimee! I haven't been in touch since I sent you the photos of the first apron skirt I made from your pattern (the little Russian nesting dolls), and I wanted to share my latest creation! I hope you like it! " C


I am going through old emails and ran across this one! Did I post it already? I couldn't remember so I am posting it now! This awesome Mommy creation was made with the Twirl SKORT sewing pattern! I still just love this pattern!! Thanks, J, and sorry it took so long to post! K is always cute cute!! Here is what this Mommy said, "She said, "YOU MADE THAT?!!! I thought for sure you bought it at a high end boutique." She asked me about it a couple more times, amazed I had made it. J"

NEW SEWING PATTERN UPDATE: The new pattern is coming along. After the first round of tests I needed to change a few things. The testers will be receiving the revisions tonight and I believe this pattern will be available for download by the end of next week or the beginning of the following week! The physical version of this pattern will not be available for several more months which will also have a BONUS pattern!!

The Boutique Bottoms above and the Twirl SKORT are not only a downloadable pattern but also a physical one! If you are interested in purchasing the physical version, please see the Boutique Shops on right side bar that carry the physical version of SewSensible Boutique Sewing Patterns! Or is you are a wholesale shop and would like to carry SewSensible patterns, please contact one of the distributors on the right side bar! Thanks so much for visiting my sewing blog!

If you want to show off your awesome Mom, GrandMom, or Aunt SewSensible creation, please do not hesitate to send it to me! I always am blessed by what you make and others are inspired!!

Oh, and it snowed in South Louisiana today..... twice!! Crazy!

In Christ, Aimee'

New Sewing Pattern not quite here!

I am getting great feedback from the testers for the new sewing pattern! I am just writing a quick post to update you. I am in the process of redrawing a few parts of the dress. There were two areas that bothered me and the testers made note of it too: 1. there was a slight "buncy-ness" under the arm and the dress was too long. This design was originally a drop waist dress but I will tell you that a drop waist that is too low looks so funny on my daughters!! I changed that to the waist and need to go up a little more. I think I figured out the "bunchy-ness" under the arm. The testers are great and will receive the revisions by Friday of this week. I hope to have this dress available in the next two weeks as a download and this one will be a physical hopefully by April with some cute BONUS patterns!

Beginner Sewing Patterns and Beginner Sewers!



I have received such the sweetest emails in the past two days and I just want to share them with you not for the reason to make SewSensible sound good but hopefully to inspire Moms or Aunts or GrandMoms who have been wanting to sew but just fear patterns and directions! I really hope these three emails inspire you to at least try!!

The first one is from the beautiful picture above!! This awesome Mommy used SewSensible FAITH Double Layer Dress Top and she is a BEGINNER!! How awesome is that!! Here is what she said, "I just want to say thank you for making such easy and adorable patterns. I have already purchased the Faith Dress top, Boutique Bottoms and Boutique Dress top. I LOVE them!!! Your directions truly ARE easy to follow. The Faith Dress top was the very first thing that I have ever made, and I made two of them in two days (that was because my job gets in the way of my sewing :( . I made them for my girls and wanted to show you my youngest showing off hers. They love them just as much as I do and I can't wait to try out the other patterns. Keep up the good work!!! Thanks again, J"

Here is the second one I received: "I have been perusing your lovely patterns for some time and can contain myself no longer-- I must try one. I must say that I am excited to find clothes created by another Christian mom that make little girls look like the beautiful, feminine creatures God made them to be rather than miniature pop starlets. This dress (Simple Sunday Dress) is lovely and carefree, just like my daughters, and I can't wait to make it for them. K"


And here is the third one I received last night: "Hi Aimee :) I just want to drop you a line to tell you how much I enjoy your patterns. I am making the Pleated Dress Top models for my local quilt shop. They are outstanding directions! I'll surprise the shop owner when I bring in the matching Boutique Bottoms..... I'm making some for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter at the same time. She's going to love them. I've been sewing since I could pick up a needle. I've been writing quilt patterns for 15 years and testing other patterns for longer than that. Your's are wonderful and I'll pass the word. Thanks again, T"

Ok!!!!! first wow! Yes I feel so blessed and happy! Now!! are you inspired to sew!!?! C'mon, what are you waiting for!! If you have never sewn and are a little intimidated by it all then please email me and the first 10 I will send you SewSensible Boutique Bottoms for you to try! Now you need your sewing machine manual if you do not even know how to thread your machine or just basics of straight stitch and zig zag stitch which are super easy!! Go ahead and give it a try!! (smile smile) And thank you wonderful Moms and GrandMom for sending me these kind kind words!!!!! I told my husband all about them on the way to church this morning! :)


Have a blessed day today!

New Sewing Pattern coming in February!


I am here, I am here! I feel like Horton hears a Who movie! Here is another picture of the new pattern that will be available in February as a downloadable pattern. The physical pattern will come two months later with a bonus pattern with it! I will keep you posted. I saw online several sites that had the ric rac flower and that is what you see above. I have to say mine surely did not come out like the ones I saw!! I think I will just stick to the original idea of fabric covered buttons (no buttonholes, just for looks). I stopped on the second ric rac flower because I was unhappy with the outcome so I will be taking these off. I am working on the directions which takes me a little time. In the meantime, if you have any awesome custom creations using SewSensible patterns that you would like to showoff, please don't hesitate to send them to me!! They always bless me and inspire others! Also, if you purchased the Scoop Neck Dress Top from YCMT, you can now go to "My Library" on your page and download the new revised version.


I pray all is well with you! We are finally enjoying real Louisiana weather and that makes me happy!!

New Sewing Pattern coming in February!

!!!!! NEW SEWING PATTERN COMING IN FEBRUARY !!!!!

Here are some up close details of the new pattern (with no name yet!). Now this pattern may look like it has some details that are not for a beginner but I have made it super easy for the beginner to make this dress. Some of the details are the scallop accent with fabric cover buttons on each scallop. There are no button holes. The buttons are for looks only. You can also add a small fabric flower/rosettes on each scallop or some vintage buttons. Also if you look closely you will see some rick rack on left edge of scallop accent. This was not something I originally was going to add but I just love the subtle sweet accent of rick rack!


My fabric for the cover came in yesterday!! I do want to make a small change to the front top band to make it fit a little better. This is a drop waist dress that sews together very easily! I will be working on the top band the next couple of days. I will need some testers so thanks to the ones that already let me know. Please email me so that I can place you in this sewing pattern folder of testers.





And check out Nanette from Nanoo Designs who made it into our local newspaper (and thanks to her they added You Can Make This and our etsy shops to the article!!) Congratulations, Nanette, and thanks!!

Also, as I do my normal daily routine, my heart breaks for Haiti and the people there. I have added info on Samaritan's Purse below if you are interested.

Applique Apron Skirt sewing pattern!

Ok, is this not like eye candy!!!!! I have to say I NEVER tire of receiving your custom creations made with SewSensible Boutique Sewing Patterns!! Here is an awesome Mommy creation using SewSensible Applique Apron Skirt sewing pattern. Here is what she said, "Hi Aimee! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I purchased about 4 of your patterns last spring, shortly after I started sewing for my sweet, sweet, E! Anyway, I purchased two more of your patterns yesterday (YES, I'm addicted to them) because they are BY FAR the very best patterns out there! They're detailed, easy to understand, the photos are amazing, and the end results are simply stunning. I wanted to show you some photos of my very own "apron skirt" I whipped up yesterday! As you will see, I made a few slight changes, but I think it turned out absolutely precious! Thank you again for being the inspiration that you are, and please keep those patterns coming!"


Yes!! you know I am tearing up ;) Thank you, C, for sending these pictures in and for your super kind words! You may feel inspired by me but it is you and all others who send in their beautiful creations that inspire the readers of this blog!! Love this!!

FAITH Double Layer Dress Top sewing pattern!


Here is a cute cute Mommy creation using FAITH Double Layer Dress Top sewing pattern! Here is what this awesome Mommy said, "Thank you so much! I absolutely love your patterns. I thought it would be fun to send you a pic of the dress I made for my daughter for Christmas. I used the Faith top pattern. Thanks again!"

Thanks so much, C, for sending in this sweet adorable picture of your daughter and your awesome creation!!!!! And of course I love this fabric!!

New Sewing Pattern coming soon and Customer Creation!




I received this cute picture of an apron that was done using my bluebirds applique design! So cute!! Thanks so much, R, for sending me this picture! I love it!!


Yesterday I remembered I had some corduroy fabric in a drawer and took it out to use for the new pattern. Well I believe it came out cute but the corduroy was a little too heavy for the shoulder ties which REALLY frustrated me so I am going to not suggest using corduroy for this pattern (unless I change the design of the shoulder ties which I may do). Frustration is not an option for my patterns!! Right?!! Right! The picture below the apron is a small view of the corduroy outfit. I am waiting on my good fabric to come in so that I can add the fabric covered buttons on one and then I will make another one of these dresses with fabric flowers and I have a couple other accents I want to add to a third dress. This dress comes together so well that it is easy to make a couple at a time.

New Sewing Pattern coming in February!

!!!! COMING IN FEBRUARY !!!!

Well, I am going to give you a BIG sneak peak which I promised myself I would wait closer to the release date but I just cannot!! I printed off the fabric (Sandi Hendersen's MeadowSweet) that I will use for the cover and drew up these little designs for you. This gives you a pretty good idea of the look but it surely does not show the details as well as the real thing! This also gives you a look into some of the steps I take to get to an actual outfit! I am really seeing the knee socks and all with this pattern! What do you think?

This will be offered first as a downloadable BUT the good news for this year I will have BONUS patterns with the physical. I have been asked to only do certain patterns for physical and certain patterns for physical and I have considered this but I believe the bonus pattern idea may be more fun and beneficial for all! So starting in 2010 all new designs will be both downloadable and physical EXCEPT the physical patterns will have a couple bonus patterns! I believe everybody will be happy with this! The pattern above is a 1920's inspiration. I will say that the waist band and pleated skirt will be a little lower to create more of a drop waist. There will be a scalloped accent on the front with fabric covered buttons on each scallop. The buttons are for accent only. There are NO BUTTON HOLES! I will also make one with flower accents on each scallop to give it a different look. This pattern, as all my patterns, is designed with the beginner in mind. I was able to make the size 5,6 this morning and it fit Rose very well. So now I have pattern pieces for sizes 3,4,5,6 done and need to make sizes 6m, 9m, 1, 2. I have created this pattern with simple lines and simple directions. It comes together very well!


Fabric side note: Hip Fabric is having a 20% off entire order for New Year!
And please go welcome my friend, Hays from Haysie-Doodle, to the blogging world!!!!!

Beginner Sewing Patterns!


The New Year is here and I am so ready to start sewing! Now just to find the time. Today our two 2 year old granddaughters came to live with us so with a total of 9 children in our home I do know I will surely be trying to manage my time to the fullest :) Above are some fabric combinations that I will use to make several outfits: FAITH Double Layer Dress Top with matching Boutique Bottoms, a Twirl SKORT, and an Applique Apron Skirt. If you are a first time reader of my sewing blog then hello and thank you for stopping by! All of my patterns are designed with the beginner in mind. If you have never sewn anything or just sewed a pillow or a curtain then I suggest the Boutique Bottoms to start. This will familiarize yourself with my patterns and build your confidence to sew. I am also available for any questions you may have while sewing by email. My patterns are downloadable and physical. To purchase my downloadable patterns you can do that at my Etsy shop, my Website, or at You Can Make This. All of my downloadable patterns are $9.95. Here is a link to some question/answers about the downloadable patterns. If you are interested in a physical pattern then I have five available: Boutique Dress Top, Boutique Bottoms, Twirl SKORT, FAITH Double Layer Dress Top, and Reversible Pleated Dress Top. All my physical patterns are $11.50 and are great for Mom's who are new at sewing! If you have a fabric/quilt shop and would like to carry the physical SewSensible Boutique Sewing Patterns then please contact one of the following distributors: Creative Smocking, United Notions and Fabric, or Petersen-Arne. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am so ready to get started on the new patterns for 2010! I have narrowed down 5 designs for children's patterns. I will also have two women apron patterns available this month as a downloadable.

2010 looks like a busy year and with having two more added to the family today it is starting early but I know God would not give us anything we cannot handle. Some words I am standing on in 2010 is purposeful living and simple solutions (and of course the power of prayer ;).
