Raglan Tshirt Sewing Pattern and Tutorial ( size 2T)

The tutorial and pattern for these Raglan Tshirts is live at the Clothworks Blog. Come check it out! They make some nice cold weather tops for both boys and girls.

Woven and knit Raglan Tshirts

I did make a bunch of things during the KCWC Fall 2012, even though I never got around to showing them here. The shirts above are Raglan Tees made with City Streets collection of Jamie Wood for Clothworks.

I actually made three of these shirts. I used a knit fabric for the sleeves and neckband so it has the stretch of a tee, but I used woven fabric ( City Streets) for the body of the shirt to use the fun boy prints. The pattern is ready and I'm planning to write the tutorial sometime this week too.

Peasant Dress Sewing Pattern and tutorial

My peasant dress tutorial and free pattern ( 12- 18 months size) is now live at Clothworks blog. Check it out. This one turned out really cute! Made with Organic Cotton Picnic Pals Collection by Alyssa Thomas for Clothworks.

I also went ahead and added a pair of shorts to complete the look. My nina loves the pair! The tutorial for the shorts is work in progress.

The Jungle Dress Pattern and Tutorial

Dainty Floral Dress Pattern and tutorial

I had been meaning to sew a very girly dress for a long time. Recently Clothworks sent me this beautiful floral collection called Suzette ( from Sue Zipkin) and it seemed perfect for a dainty girly dress.
Here's the tutorial for the dainty floral dress ( Clothworks blog).

Mr. Chef Little Boys Apron Tutorial

Sewing for boys really pushes me out of my comfort zone. But this Gourmet Feathers collection from Clothworks is so cute and boyish. A boyish apron just had to be made. So I made the apron, the pattern and tutorial to go along with it.

See these faux collars and bow-tie. Aren't they just perfect for little Mr. Chef.

And how about a little patch pocket for his tools of the trade?

I'm so in love. Get the Mr. Chef apron pattern and tutorial over at Clothworks Blog.

The jungle Dress

 

These days I'm working on some projects with Clothworks fabrics company. They recently sent me a bunch of fabrics from their Safari Sweet and Picnic Pals line of Organic Cotton Wovens. They're such a cute collection of prints, even little missy fell in love with the animal prints and quickly designated it to be her dress. And you all know that we can't say no when the kids ask us to make them something.

So the dress it is. I'm calling it The Jungle dress.

If it reminds you of something, you're right, because I have made this pattern before here, here and here. I have made these dresses based on this super cute pattern by Kelly of Sewing In No Mans Land.

However, I did modify the pattern to have a really fun surprise for you. For the details, wait for the tutorial. Coming soon!
