One of my favourite designers, Goober Pea Designs, has done it again and released an amazing FREE Pattern, The Snuggle Bunny Poncho. Something that I have really struggled with, once my kids have grown out of their infant/bucket car seat, is the cold weather and the car seat recommendations to not put winter jackets under… Continue reading FREE Pattern, The Snuggle Bunny Poncho
Winter is approaching here in Canada. We live in the Maritimes, our winters are cold but the air is humid, so you always feel wet and cold… yay (I say sarcastically of course!). Last year slouchy beanies were super popular and this year I expect will be the same. As someone who often has long… Continue reading Easy, Fabulous, and Unisex Beanie Pattern
I started sewing bras for myself during the early part of 2018. I mainly have preferred to sew with galloon lace, but this pattern is perfectly suited to both lace and jersey. I came across Ohhh LuLu a few months ago when I saw their free Hyacinth bra, which is just a simple sport style… Continue reading Sewing the Jasmine from Ohhh LuLu
I was recently asked to test the Danica Dress, which is a re-branded pattern, that Goober Pea Designs has revised and done expanded sizing for. I sewed up an age 12-18 month and a 3 year for my two girls based on their measurements. I opted to do the slim fit dress with a keyhole… Continue reading The Danica Dress – Goober Pea Designs
I recently received a beautiful denim floral Liverpool from Water Tower Textiles Canada and did some matching Easter sewing for my 2 girls and myself. We wore them Easter Sunday to Church and then to family dinner at my cousin’s house. We were comfy but still looked nice in our “mom made” outfits and lasted all… Continue reading Matching Easter Sewing 2018

The pattern is in German but, have no fear, that is where I will help! You can download the free pattern here: http://www.sewy.de/Downloads-oxid/ You will want… Continue reading Free Pattern!

This pattern is not a new one but I have noticed lots of questions lately asking for good men’s hoodie patterns, so I decided if it was something people were wondering about, I’d write a blog post about my favourite. I love Made by Jack’s Mum children’s patterns and this adult pattern is no different!… Continue reading The Best Men’s Hoodie Pattern! Spring 2018
Are you getting some warm weather sewing done yet? Made By Jack’s Mum just released this beautiful, unisex, woven top named the Dreamer Shirt and I am in love with it! I don’t often sew with woven fabrics because, as a perfectionist, I feel the need to iron EVERYTHING! So a woven project takes me… Continue reading Dreamer Shirt – PDF Pattern Review
Apple Tree Sewing Patterns is a fantastic Canadian pattern designer. She focuses mainly on “grow with me” style patterns and I believe I have every pattern she has released. This new pattern, I had the privilege of testing and I couldn’t be more happy to share it with you here! The Grow Along Pants feature… Continue reading Grow Along Pants – PDF Pattern Review
I searched for a while trying to find a nice mitten pattern that wasn’t a “cookie cutter” style… think a cookie cutter placed on your fabric and cut out, so the thumb just sticks out the side. I find these so awkward and bulky looking. Anyway, I came across Lou’s Mittens from Filles A Maman and… Continue reading Lou’s Mittens – PDF Pattern Review
