Take One Dress

Have you heard about the fun series, Take One Dress, over at As It Seams?  I've had the pleasure of participating and had a great time creating this dress after a little inspiration provided by one of my favourite bloggers.  Come take a look and see more!

Kids' Choice Winners

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!  I hope you get spoiled and enjoy your day.

I'm thrilled to make this an even more special day for three moms who submitted outfits for Kids' Choice.  The randomly selected winners are: Amy (SEWSNBOWS), Jess (Gracious Threads), and Angela (Snippet).  Aren't these outfits absolutely delightful!?

These lucky ladies will get to spend $50 each on exquisite fabric, trims, or anything else that catches their fancy at:

Thank you so much to everyone who entered.  I hope that it was a rewarding experience for you to create along side your children to make something extra special for them.  I know it was for me, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with my little ones.

And a big thank you to our generous sponsor, l'oiseau.  Thank you for being such a huge supporter of creativity and for your passion to make incredibly gorgeous, high quality products accessible and affordable here in North America.

Kids' Choice

Today I share our last Kids' Choice look, but there's still plenty of time for you to submit an outfit you've made.  May 9th is the deadline to upload your outfit(s) to the link up.  There are so many fun and creative outfits already submitted!

I have had a blast with my children using this different perspective of giving them more input.  While I usually give them some say, I admit, turning to them for every decision on a garment isn't my typical routine.  But they both enjoy choosing what they wear, so why not what I make them to wear, too?  My girl is especially particular these days (I think Kids' Choice hasn't helped...ha,ha!).  I put a pair of pants on her yesterday and she said, "No, Mommy.  I want something ON them".  I see more appliqués in our future!  But, it's Tobias who got one more Kids' Choice outfit.  He loves comfortable clothing and his wardrobe needed some more casual options to fit him now that his grown so much taller over the winter.  Here is what he chose:

Here's his pose of choice:

Fabric:

Royal Blue: Jersey Stenzo

 Flight: Jersey Stenzo

The ribbing and white jersey for the shorts were random bits from my stash.

Patterns:

I shortened these pants from Ottobre 1/2013.

And I didn't change a thing on this perfect tank top pattern from Ottobre 6/2013 

(other than omitting the pocket):
