New Sewing Pattern Back Covers!

Working on the back of the covers. Hope all of you are having a wonderful week!

Twirl SKORT, Hope Joy Bubble Top, Embellished Pillowcase Dress Sewing Patterns!

Well today I finally was able to take pictures for two covers!! Yay!! It was cold so outside was out of the question especially when sweet little Grace started crying because she was cold. The pictures were taken inside the Coffee House shop and I think they came out cute! My new little model is my niece Annalyce. She did a great job!! The first one above will be the new physical pattern: Hope Joy Bubble Top paired with the popular Twirl SKORT! This will be available in February as a physical. The next one is the Embellished Pillowcase Dress with three ruffle options. This one should be available in the next two weeks as a downloadable and of course all are designed with the beginner in mind!

Sewing Patterns for Beginners and New Covers!

I am busy working on many projects! For 2011, I have been working on all new covers for all my physical patterns along with adding something more to the patterns. Here is the first look at one pattern that will get something extra! For the Twirl SKORT physical sewing pattern I will be adding the HOPE JOY Bubble Top! I am excited about this because now when you purchase the physical pattern you will be able to make a complete outfit or just the Bubble Top by itself to go along with a pair of cute jeans or make just the Twirl SKORT to go along with a cute pair of boots and solid tee! Whatever you choose to make I am sure your little one will be cute in Mommy's creations!! I have redrawn the pattern to add the HOPE JOY Bubble Top and will be sending that to McCall's next week. I just need to double check everything before I send it off. I am almost finished with the directions except for the fabric requirements and little things like that.

For my next project I have been working on the Embellished PillowCase Dress! It is a simple pillowcase dress with three options of ruffles. I work very hard at making the directions as detailed as possible for all you beginner sew-ers! This is what takes me so long but I so enjoy the finished work when complete! I have the Embellished Pillowcase Dress pattern already drawn out and am three quarters of the way through with the directions and graphics. As most of you know, you can easily google a pillowcase dress and get the basics of how to sew one of these very poplular dresses. My goal with doing this dress, and I thought about it for a long time, was to offer a more simpler way of doing a couple of the steps. I believe you will like the outcome.

For the next project, I have cut out the cover outfits for the new FAITH Double Layer Dress Top and it will have a double layer skirt added to it. Something fun and very easy!

The next project are my aprons. I have corrected a few pattern dimensions but other than that I hope to have this one available as a download in February.

The last project until I get all these finished is to complete the Reversible Pleated Dress Top cover. I am adding some Boutique Shorts with this physical pattern with options of ruffle or band to the shorts.

Now you know what I have been doing!! I seem so scattered at times with so many projects but it is all coming together as it should.

Boutique Bottoms Sewing Pattern!

Here is what is on my mind today: Sewing Pattern Projects!! (and of course my favorite coffee cup goes along with me that I found for a few cents at a hand-me-down store aka Treasure Store as the children call it!! Who in the world would part with such an amazing coffee cup!! ;)

The New Year is almost here and I am just so excited! I love a New Year and making plans and dreaming!! I believe that is why I love Disney so much: you walk into a world where people like you and me dreamed big and imagined and believed..... you walk into the fruition of their dreams and ideas!! I love that! (ok I have Disney on the brain evidently!! )

I hope and pray you have an amazing New Year and that you allow yourself to dream and imagine and trust God that He has a plan for you and your family! A future with a hope!!

Love y'all!

Happy New Year!

In Christ, Aimee'

Bib Apron Sewing Pattern!

A year ago I designed two apron patterns. One of the testers of the apron pattern emailed me the other day to see if she could get the pattern again because she could not find hers and she really wanted to make a bib apron for her twin sister. I am thankful that she did email me because it got me excited about the aprons again! I decided to try and make it available before Christmas. This is the bib apron but the pattern also makes a hostess apron. I posted the pics last year. Here is the Hostess Apron from this pattern. I have designed it to be very simple to sew. It really would make a great gift for your girlfriends along with a matching Boutique Serving Spoon Sleeve! Ha! Now to get them available!!

I just love the fabric above! This is one of Amy Butler's fabric collections.

FANCY FLOPZ

A good friend of mine has just opened up a cute boutique, FANCY FLOPZ , making the cutest fancy flip flops!! Just a great gift idea, stocking stuffer, or a great gifts for a group of cheerleaders or school girls! It can be personalized to the school colors or animal print design! so cute and would look great with a pair of Boutique Bottoms and matching Boutique Dress Top!!

Boutique Serving Spoon Sleeve! The sleeve on the right above was actually extra fabric from my girls' Thanksgiving Dresses and so was the ribbon. It was cute that they matched the Green Bean casserole serving spoon. However, a beautiful damask print, animal print with Christmas red ribbon would really make your casserole dish POP!!!!! It is simple and easy and only takes some of your left over fabric! yay!! This is a great hostess gift idea or a fun way to add holiday decor to any party or gathering. It will also make a great addition to your child's cake serving spoon or your salad serving spoons! So many fabric choices makes for a very fun project..... and super fast!

Thanks to all of you who responded to make one! So appreciate you girls!!

Fabric Headband and Beginner Sewing Patterns!

always our playful one :)

so excited that Zoë let me put this headband on her!!

Here is another version of the fabric headband. I wanted to take it with Rose but she was sleeping strong on the couch from a long day of soccer games and playing! I saw Zoë playing the DS and snuck up on her and put it on!! She actually smiled when I did which made me smile!

Fabric Headbands and Sewing Patterns!

I am working hard at getting the patterns ready for the new year. Here are two fabric headbands that I made today to go with the Twirl SKORT outfits I am making for the new pattern cover. I hope all of you are having a wonderful Fall/Thanksgiving season. Here in Louisiana we had a few days of heater weather and now we are back to AC weather. I love Louisiana :)

Sewing Patterns and Rose Bib Necklace

Ok, learning how to make them a little tighter and the more you make the faster you can do it..... but isn't that with most anything! Not quite finished with this one and I do not have any vintage looking buttons so I had to use the only rhinestones I had and it looks very imitation but at least you get the idea. Oh and did I say how much fun they are to make!! :) Now it is time to put flea market on the list of things to do soon.

Sewing Patterns and Rose Bib necklace!

Starting sewing the accessories for the cover patterns this weekend! Ok, had so much fun making this bib necklace!! I will be working on the Twirl SKORT new pattern cover this week and probably making some more accessories!! :) Hope all of you have a fantastic week and I will surely post pics along the way.

Twirl SKORT Sewing Pattern!

Don't you love this fabric!!? I do!!!!! This will be the fabric I will use

for the new cover for the Twirl SKORT in 2011

Twirl SKORT information: I am out of stock of the Twirl SKORT physical sewing pattern. If you are interested in this physical pattern you can visit one of the shops on the right sidebar that sell SewSensible boutique shops. Now for the update: I am working everyday on patterns for 2011. I will have the Twirl SKORT physical pattern ready again in the beginning of the year. It has been one of my top sellers and I understand why..... we all love our children to dress modestly and this pattern did all that along with making our precious little girls laugh and play, jump and flip while being modest! I just love this pattern and can't wait for it to be available again.

Side Note: for all of you that own the Twirl SKORT or will be buying it I do want to let you know there is one spot that many are sewing incorrectly (and when I say incorrectly I mean not the way I designed it but they may like the way they are doing it so take this sewing tip for what it is): When sewing the skirt onto the pantaloon make sure to take all of the skirt and flip forward over the pantaloon and not fold it to where you make a casing. The correct way to flip the skirt over the pantaloon is to flip it completely over. If you have the pattern you will see what I am talking about when you get to that step. It will make a difference in the look of the Twirl SKORT. If flipped correctly the skirt will hang right over the seam of the ruffle of the pantaloon. If flipped incorrectly the skirt will hang higher above the pantaloon ruffle. Again, take this for what it is. If you are flipping the skirt the other way and like it then great but just wanted to make sure everyone knew the way the pattern was designed. Love all of you and can't wait to show you my changes and additions for 2011!!

Sewing Hope

I was asked to help get the word out about Sewing Hope. There are many opportunities to use our gifts and talents of sewing and this is one of those great opportunities :)

Sewing Hope: an organization with the goal of bringing friends together to sew handmade projects which will be donated to charities.

The organization came to be as an effort to combine love for sewing with a desire to help others. Every few months a new project will be announced at Sewing Hope. The post will include all the necessary supplies, patterns and instructions for the project. When you have a moment please check out Sewing Hope and see their first Project!! You will find on their site the sewing directions for this project!! What an awesome way to use the gift and talent of sewing!!

Sewing Patterns for Beginners 2011

at home enjoying some SewSensible projects on this beautiful sunny day, door open as Rose and Grace go in and out drawing and coloring a bee they keep running from outside while one son is watching SchoolHouse Rock and the other sweet son with his cute little dirty feet taking a nap. Great day! Working on the 2011 physical patterns. Was also able to sew me a skirt last week..... maybe a future pattern. Hoping to post more pics of what I am sewing this coming week!
