Busy with our little ones at vacation bible school and Rock the River event that was held at our city yesterday and also working on the next physical patterns graphics: Twirl SKORT, Tween Teen Boutique Dress Top and Boutique Bottoms, and Reversible Pleated Dress Top! These should be physical in the next 45 days.

Women's Dress Top Sewing Pattern, New Sewing Pattern, and a get together!

Last week we had our quarterly Adoption Support Group Fellowship at our home. These times together are so awesome! It is great to do life with and connect with other families that have chosen to walk the path of adoption. It is my heart! If interested, you can go here to our orphan adoption blog and see the rest of our day!


One side's view!
(if you look close you can see where I went off a bit on the middle band!)


Reversible side's view!

So I made me another Reversible Women's Dress Top! I used different fabrics as to utilize my "scrap" bag!! I actually wore this to our family movie day to see Ice Age 3. This was the second time I wore something I made for myself in public! The first time was when I was in college! So much fun!



Also, SewSensible Reversible Pleated Dress Top is now available on YCMT! So if you are interested in purchasing my new sewing pattern you can purchase it at my website, my etsy store, YCMT, or at AllBrands!

New Sewing Pattern: Ava Sundress Pattern!



My friend, Nanette, from Nanoo Designs has a new sundress pattern! Go to her blog to see some cute cute tester photos!



Description:
You are going to love how easy this pattern is to make. It's a perfect little dress for everyday play, the beach, birthday parties and special occasions. Adding the optional bow at the back gives it a "boutique" look. Make it unique by mixing and matching fabrics, adding an applique or embroidery design to the front, trim along the border or just plain. Great for warm summer days like we are having here in Louisiana or with a top underneath for cooler seasons.



And my new one is available: SewSensible Reversible Pleated Dress Top sewing pattern! You will love the no handsewing technique to make it reversible!!

New Sewing Pattern: Reversible Pleated Dress Top Sewing Pattern!



Believe me, I am working as much as I can to get this pattern released! Having to redraw the graphics has really set me back especially since all the children are home all day and begging for my attention 24/7!! There are only 19 steps to this pattern and I have redrawn all up to step 16 so only 3 more steps to redraw!! Yay!! In the meantime, here is another tester's photo! Too cute!! And how beautiful is this little model!!

Women's Reversible Dress Top Sewing Pattern!






Ok! here is my Women's Reversible Dress Top! Well, what do you think? Looks simple and it is!! I need to get some up close shots of the tie and I will not show the back yet! The fit feels great! I just ordered some knit fabric to test on that. So look for more women dress top pictures in the future! And the length can be waist, hip, knee, or ankle! I look forward to making some Mommy and Daughter matching outfits!! Fun Fun!! Fabric: Andalucia by Patty Young!

New Sewing Pattern Reversible Pleated Dress Top!



The Reversible Pleated Dress Top sewing pattern is not quite ready yet but here is one of the tester photos! Ok!! Do you love this! Or could it be that this little girl would make any outfit look cute!! Her little hands look just like the babydoll hands you see on those life size babydolls! so adorable! Her sweet Mom paired this one up with a coordinating pair of Boutique Bottoms too! This pattern should be ready in the next two weeks. It would have been earlier but after the first round of testing I had to go back and change the placement of straps and redraw the top of the bodice. Because I had to redraw the pattern, I will now have to redraw the graphics on the directions which takes time so that is the reason for 14 days! Thanks again to all the testers who did this the first go-round and for you who are doing it the second g0-round!!


I also was able to sew me another dress top for myself !!!!! Hopefully Tommy can take some pictures of me in it today! I am still going to keep the back a secret as long as I can. Maybe I can draw up some different size patterns and get it ready to send out and get some tested on some of you. Leave me a comment if you would like to test it! I will pick the first 10-15 to be fair to you. And if you are a seasoned sewer and are comfortable sewing with silk or any lightweight fabric, I would love this pattern tested with some of those fabrics to make a more date night dress top!!

Finally sewing for me!!


FINALLY sewing something for me!!!!! This started out being the Boutique Dress Top for Women but after I sewed the first one I did not like how the back fit so I got an idea for the back, drew it up and was able to sew it this morning!!!!! I am SEW excited about how this came out! I will cut me another one today and hopefully sew it during naptime! The bottom hem is not sewn yet. I was so excited to try it on that I hurried up and got the children to take pictures of me. The pictures aren't great but they had fun doing it. This was actually taken by my 2yo! I'll have to get Tommy to take some better shots and post those however I will keep the back a secret for now!! Oh, and it is reversible!!!!! Love this!!

New Sewing Pattern and Physical patterns!


Reversible Pleated Dress Top Sewing Pattern update: Testers, I have to tell you that all of you are awesome!! Thanks again for doing this and for those that are still sending emails to help thank you! I do not need anymore testers at this time for this pattern but I am always looking for testers in the future. These comments will help change what I need to change to make this pattern easier to understand and easier to sew! THANK YOU!!!!!


The tester comments are almost all in and no doubt I will have to change the wording on the pleats. This is the most important step for your dress top to sew quickly and easily. I will make those changes this week and I am hoping to have the new release by next week! Above is one tester photo! Look how cute that little girl is! and Mom even made matching Boutique Bottoms! Too cute!

Physical Patterns Update: Also, talked to the press guy and the printing process was delayed until next Monday. Wow! I was on a roll and then patience had to take its place!! So next week looks like a week of new sewing pattern and new physical patterns!

Sewing for me!: Oh, but in the wait at home while the children are running all over playing and trying to keep cool this summer, I did sew me two tops!!!!! It started out as the Women's Boutique Dress Top and on the second one I got the bodice for me right but I am not liking the back on me..... makes me look fat ;) HA!! So I have decided about a different way to do the back! I hopefully will sew another one today!! Fun Fun!!


And I have to say hello to my friend Melanie B.!!!!! So so glad you are back online!!!!! I have thought about you so much and missed you!

Look how sweet these awesome Mommy creations are and how cute those sweet little girls look!


Here is what this Mom said, "I have made several of your patterns before and love them. My daughter just loves wearing them and so do her friends. They usually get a matching one for their birthday. Your patterns were the first clothes I ever tried to sew and LOVE them. They are so easy to follow. I love the step by step visual directions. They really make it easy for a first time sewer."


Thanks so much, S!! Love the outfits and the girls look super cute! Now I want to make my girls some zebra boutique bottoms!! Thanks for your kind words as well!
