Ok, here are some awesome Mommy custom creations! Always fun for me to receive!! The first picture is from my sweet friend who just dove into sewing recently and she is doing an amazing job! A, your PillowCase Dress looks so cute!
The next three pictures are from a wonderful Mommy who just started sewing as well!! What I am more impressed with is that she chose the Reversible Pleated Dress Top as one of her beginning patterns! Wow! Here is what this awesome Mommy said, "Thank you for the wonderful patterns! I've been searching high and low for cute and easy patterns for my two girls ages 22 months and 2 months. Attached are photos of the reverse pleated dress top. It was VERY easy and super cute!!! This is only the second dress I have ever made for my oldest!" Thanks, L, for sending me these pictures! Pat yourself on the back because you did an excellent job and your daughters are beautiful!!!!! The Scoop Neck Dress Top above is her creation as well!

from a wonderful tester!!
I am almost complete with the Embellished PillowCase Dress! My goal is to have it available as a Downloadable tomorrow night or Saturday morning! I had fun making this dress and the ruffle options but the most fun came when I was able to see the testers photos of the dresses and read their comments. Thanks girls!!
Here is one picture of a wonderful Mommy who tested my version of the Embellished Pillowcase Dress Sewing Pattern! I hope to put up several more in the next couple days along with having this pattern available by Friday of this week as a downloadable. These testers were awesome and it makes a world of a difference to have their input before releasing any SewSensible patterns! Many many thanks testers!!
Here are some cute cute awesome Mommy creations using Twirl SKORT, FAITH double layer dress top, Boutique Dress Top and Boutique Bottoms sewing patterns. I am not going to tell you which one is from a beginner sewing Mom!! Great job, Moms!! Your children are adorable and the outfits are beautiful! Thanks for sending in these pics!!
Side note: I am busy working on updating all pattern covers, blog, and website. I have the look I want so now to incorporate it in all the patterns. Will take a little time but I believe the outcome will be fresh and sweet! :)
Yesterday I was able to sew the FAITH Double Layer Dress Top pattern cover and also squeeze in some picture time with Grace and Annalyce. This will be the new cover to the Reversible Pleated Dress Top and matching Boutique Shorts sewing pattern.
Working on the back of the covers. Hope all of you are having a wonderful week!
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!
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.
Here is an adorable little girl with Handy Manny in her Mommies awesome custom creation using SewSensible Boutique Bottoms! Thanks, C, for sending these to me! So cute!!
Yesterday I made an Artwork Display over the beds for each of my three younger daughters. You can view the post on our
family blog.
~ I received my Tanya Whelan's Delilah fabric yesterday from FatQuartershop! This will be the fabric for my new FAITH Double Layer Dress Top and Skirt 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'
It was this kind of Christmas!! HAhA!! squeezing in all the fun we can! :) Very blessed and very wonderful! All glory to Him!
Praying your Christmas season is full of God's abundant blessings!In Christ, Aimee'

This is just a fast and cute sewing project for the holidays or someone's special birthday party!! The Boutique Serving Spoon Sleeve Sewing Pattern will be here in a few days! I need to get the measurements done for the Boutique Cake Serving Spoon and then I can have it available. The Boutique Cake Serving Spoon is just the sweetest additional decor to your little girl's birthday party!! It just gives a little extra dazzle around the cake table!! You can also add some bling bling to these spoon sleeves to really go the extra mile at your parties and gatherings!!
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.
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!!

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!!

Hello! I am working on a free Christmas pattern for your family gatherings: Boutique Serving Spoon Sleeve! It is simple and easy and only takes some of your left over fabric! yay!! I have finished the directions and now need to make a few so I can take a cover picture. I don't have the fabric yet nor the ribbon so hopefully on Monday I can run to the nearest fabric store and pick that up and have this pattern ready for download by next weekend (but of course I am not making any promises ;) 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! So many fabric choices makes for a very fun project..... and super fast!
Hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season. We have been out of our home for the past 2 1/2 months but moved back in last week. Just slight chaos! but still blessed!
I am looking for a few people to make this pattern. It is simple and quick! you can comment on here or email me at sewsensible @ sewsensible . net . I only need about 5 people to make one.
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!
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 :)
This is my
SewSensible facebook page and I also have a
SewSensible page.
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.
Hello! Welcome to my sewing blog!!
