Beginner Sewing Patterns and Customer Creations!


Ok! I have some cute cute awesome custom creations!! Above is from Anna from Crafty Girls Workshop!! Anna was so sweet to make this Reversible Pleated Dress Top for their shop and email me the pictures of them! How cute!! The two pictures show both sides of this dress top! When you get a chance, go check out their site! It is just a click away. Just a fresh and girly feel to it. They sale SewSensible physical patterns and some great fabric so go visit them and tell'em Aimee' from SewSensible sent you! Thanks so much, Anna, for sending me these pictures!!

Look at this precious princess!! Happy Birthday, VR!! She is 3 and her Mom made her a custom outfit using SewSensible Scoop Neck Dress Top for her birthday!! Awesome, C!!

Here is an awesome Mommy creation using SewSensible Applique' Apron Skirt! Isn't she adorable?! Here is what this Mommy said,

"Aimee, Let me start by saying “thank you” for creating the cutest patterns ever for the precious little girls in our lives! Okay, now I just need to say that you are an extraordinarily, incredible woman of God! You have such an incredible family and story behind them! Your 8 children are just beautiful…what blessings! Seriously, it humbles me to even fathom all that you in a day!! Honestly…I think your name is written in Proverbs 31! I strive for that and fall short everyday! But I try again…and that’s what’s important…right? When I came across your blog last summer, I was so inspired! Thanks so much, K"

K, thanks so much for your kind words!! It not only blesses me to receive these awesome pictures of what you are making for your loved ones but to know that my family story blessed you blesses me! Now you know I fall short of His glory everyday too? I am just like you..... a busy Mom who loves my family and strives to do better everyday and thanking God for His forgiveness BECAUSE I NEED IT!! HA!!!!

And for all you Moms who need a little encouragement: did you know that in Proverbs 31 she sews!!!!! Here is what I do when I feel I fall short: I ask Him to forgive me and then I read a passage in the bible and stand strong and try again! I just reread Proverbs 31 and it brings me such joy. Remember when you read it if you think you are nowhere who she is: Proverbs 31 is what God is growing us to be. It is a process! We do not get there overnight! That was a huge revelation for me. Everyday we become more and more like Proverbs 31 as we strive for it!! I will post it and maybe it will bring some or all of you joy today!

Proverbs 31 O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my promises, do not spend your strength on women, on those who ruin kings. And it is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine. Rulers should not crave liquor. For if they drink, they may forget their duties and be unable to give justice to those who are oppressed. Liquor is for the dying, and wine for those in deep depression. Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those who are perishing. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice. Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him but help him all her life. She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant's ship; she brings her food from afar. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls. She goes out to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She watches for bargains; her lights burn late into the night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household because all of them have warm [fn] clothes. She quilts her own bedspreads. She dresses like royalty in gowns of finest cloth. Her husband is well known, for he sits in the council meeting with the other civic leaders. She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule when she gives instructions. She carefully watches all that goes on in her household and does not have to bear the consequences of laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!" (Oh, shout it out girls!! Dream a little larger!! HA!!) Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise."

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 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?!!!

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!!

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.

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 ;).

Scoop Neck Dress Top sewing pattern cover!


Well, I was able to do the cover and now I will focus on getting this available for download this week. I need to redraw the smaller size sleeves first. The physical pattern will not be ready until December. I will give you a better date as soon as I know more. On a side note: my GrandMother went to be with Jesus early this am so I may be a little delayed. Her arrangements are not known yet; however, she was a loving beautiful role model! She lived a long life (90's), had 9 children, many many grandchildren and great grandchildren and loved and served the Lord for as long as I can remember! I love you, MawMaw!!

Physical Pattern update
: I received the directions for the Twirl SKORT and Reversible Pleated Dress Top and am waiting on the covers and pattern pieces. They will ship out beginning of this coming week. Creative Smocking is taking pre-orders with free shipping at this time for both of these patterns. About the Scoop Neck Dress Top, I have received my feedback and pictures from the testers and am busy redrawing and adding some revisions. I am half way done with the directions and graphics. I will hopefully be able to send this to the testers again this coming week. I will order my Christmas outfit fabric this weekend because the Scoop Neck Dress Top sewing pattern is definitely the one I will use for my girls' Christmas dresses! So excited! The FAITH has a new simpler design but still giving it the exact same look. I just made an even simpler way to sew it up if it could get any simpler! It is only available on the physical pattern at this time.
