One Thimble Blog Tour- Calla Lily Crop Top and Oswald Bow Tie

I’m here with another fantastic blog tour. The newest issue of One Thimble is here and it’s full of sewing goodness. I was excited to sew up two of the 10 pdf patterns that come in this issue.

This cute guy got his first real bow tie- the Oswald, Williams, and Pond Bow Tie Set.

And this little miss is loving her new Calla Lily Crop Top.

With back to school on our brains we had a blast styling our photo shoot.

The bow tie set is so fun!! With three style options, it was hard to pick. We went with the pointed corner Oswald. There are five different sizes so all the gentlemen in your life can sport matching ties.

I sewed up a size medium. He loves that it’s not overwhelmingly huge but I might make him the next size up in the future. He was eager to wear it to church and looked so handsome!

I let my kids pick out their fabrics and I love that he picked this simple gingham!

This little one had her heart set on yellow pom poms and while they’re a little crazy for me her sense of style kills me and I was happy to oblige. The classic plaid cotton is from Hobby Lobby.

The Calla Lily is a classic top with a little flair. I love the high low hem and the button/snap placket in the back. It’s fully lined and you can use the lining for a cute contrast placket. School bus yellow KAM snaps make it easy on/off. The options for hem trim are endless- ruffles, lace, whatever your heart desires!

We styled it with a tank underneath so that it will be school dress code worthy.

These two are the family clowns- always laughing and keeping us all on our toes. A photo shoot with the two of them was an experience to say the least.

Classic big brother…

He’s always hamming it up!

Naples Dress Blog Tour

Can it get any cuter?

Why yes, just throw in a matching doll version…DYING!!!

I’m so excited to be a stop on the Naples Dress Blog Tour.

This pattern (affl. link) and gorgeous Art Gallery denim are a match made in seamstress heaven!

I was so excited to get my hands on Art Gallery Fabrics new Denim line.

The great people at Art Gallery generously sent a couple yards of Solid Smooth Denim in Afternoon Sail for me to sew up for this tour. It’s got a slight shine and drapes beautifully. Exactly what this pattern needed!

This shade of blue matches her eyes perfectly! I now have a new favorite picture of my cutie!

Denim and cream trim are such a classic combo.

For this version of the dress, I did butterfly sleeves and an aline dress.

I used left over fabric from this dress for the tie. I love the bit of contrast it adds.

Simple and sweet and perfect for her Easter dress.

She loves how comfy it is! Nice and flowy but so hippie chic at the same time.

Of course she wanted a matching dress for her mini-me doll.

The doll dress is such a quick, fun sew. I think it was cut and finished in half an hour.

My kind of project- quick and made her so, so happy!

This pic cracks me up- They have the same toothy smile!!

I had so much fun sewing up this dress. You can check out big sisters version and more pattern details here. I think this pattern will be a favorite around our house for a long time.

I’ll leave you with her ‘smolder’.

Naples Tunic by Jennuine Designs

*This post contains affiliate links.

When Jennifer from A Jennuine Life contacted me about an upcoming blog tour for the *Naples Dress I was thrilled at the opportunity to join in!

A little background in case you’ve ever wondered how I decide which kid to sew for, this is the dealeo- Payton is my standard size kiddo and she gets most of the pattern tests because of this. Sophie is tall and skinny and the reason I started sewing for my kids in the first place (hence the blog name). I love being able to custom fit pieces for her. Both girls have totally different tastes which makes it super fun to dress them!

I showed both girls all the pictures I could find under #naplesdress and it was love, love for my playful, girly Payton (You’ll get to see her version next week on the Naples Dress Blog Tour- stay tuned because it’s awesome!).

This one needed a little more convincing and I knew a flowy rayon challis version would be right up her alley.

And boy, was I right!

It’s just edgy enough to satisfy her and still sweet too!

I did the wide bow version and I love the bit of drama it brings.

This is the size 7 a-line tunic length with about 2 inches added to accommodate her height.

I used the bell sleeve piece but cut it on the 2t line to make it not as full and flared.

I don’t think I could love this top anymore- it’s just perfect!!

She’s pretty thrilled with it too and that’s really all that matters.

I love the vintage feel of this pattern and think she looks like she just stepped out of an episode of Three’s Company (haha).

Ok, more pattern details- It comes in sizes newborn to 12 and features a darling bias bound crossover bodice.

There are a few neckline options- a simple bias bow, a button closure, and this wide bow tie. There are also two body options- a-line and gathered.

And you’ve got multiple options for sleeves- sleeveless, two bell sleeve lengths, and wide flowy butterfly sleeves. It also has dress and tunic lengths. AND there’s an 18-inch doll version, holy cuteness (I’ve got one for you next week- eek)!

Options, options, options!

This was one of the quickest photo shoots ever- squeezed in between her orthodontist appointment and play practice. I absolutely adore these pics though and love her cute little braces smile!

Stay tuned next week for the Naples Dress Blog Tour. There are so many amazingly talented bloggers sewing up this pattern. I’m so excited to see what they create and to be wowed with inspiration. Thank you Jenn for such a fun pattern.

My Little Golden Valentine

Gold, gold and more gold!

The theme for Project Run and Play this week is ‘All That Glitters’ and I knew I couldn’t pass up a chance to sew along.

This girl especially needed more sparkle in her life!

I used the Dressage Leggings from Jennuine Designs for the bottoms. The gold is jegging performance knit from Joann’s (a half yard at 50% off was totally worth it). The floral is from Girl Charlee and while the print is fantastic the fabric itself has little stretch and recovery. Luckily the gold is super stretchy and more than makes up for it.

I love, love little tooshes in these leggings! She declared these her favorite pants EVER! So comfy and she loves the sparkle.

The top is a new Hey June junior’s pattern- the Camden Raglan. It’s currently in testing and I can’t wait til everyone can get their hands on it.

We finished with a gold iron on heart from Hobby Lobby and my girl is officially ‘Goldalicious’!

Such a fun little outfit that will get worn year round! She paired it with a denim jacket for school today and it was true love! I love these pieces as separates and know they’ll get worn again and again.

Lovin’ my little Valentine!

Club Fabric Line 2 Preview

Raspberry Creek Fabrics has a new Club fabrics line coming!!! Are you as excited as I am?!!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on some strikeoffs and got sewing right away!

Payton got an Extraordinary Girl tee from Filles a Maman out of the new Club floral mixed with Riley Blake dots and solid coral (all from Raspberry Creek).

This is quite possibly my favorite t-shirt I’ve made. The colors are just right up my alley and that floral is just to die for!

I did Dressage Leggings from Jennuine Designs for Sophie. They were perfect for a little color blocking with the new Club aztec and black cotton spandex.

These are the best fitting leggings on my skinny mini and I can’t wait to make her a million more.

You can preorder the new Club Fabrics line in the shop. The best part- It will all come in cotton spandex and french terry! I’ll be sharing more projects in the coming weeks leading up to it’s arrival. I can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on this goodness!
