Bloomin' Shorts!

We really love testing for Suzanne at Winter Wear Designs so when she asked about this pattern the princess and I were pumped! As my fabric selection is decreasing, I have been getting a little more creative in my designs! We were thrilled with the outcome of these!!!

I was digging through my upcycling bin looking for fabric to test this pattern with when I came across this Winnie the Pooh shirt that's been hanging around in there for sometime...the pockets are optional but I knew the Creative Princess would want to try them out so I spent a little extra time working these out...

So that we could get just the right placement for that cupcake...mmm

It was fun to put these together and the Creative Princess loved them all summer long since we don't have a/c. They were perfect for pjs...BUT she also loves shorties like these for under her dresses! These are the Toute de Suite Bloomer Shorts...go check 'em out!

Enjoy!

Let's get Phresh!

Late last year I was chosen to test for Winter Wear Designs for the first time! This stylish girls' blazer is now available in ladies sizes too! This blazer is a great pattern. We really loved the end result!

Specs:

Sizes: 1-14

Fabrics: Bottom Weight Fabric with at least 10% stretch (I used a heavy knit)

Difficulty: Adventurous Beginner

It's just recent that the Creative Princess has started wearing black. In this case, I think the blazer really makes her blouse stand out.

The blazer is easy to wear and comfortable...I love the end result and so does the Creative Princess but it isn't something she turns to often in her closet. I guess nothing can replace her favourite sweatshirts!

I used some fabric from my dress for this and to make a dress for the Creative Princess. I think we will see the blazer on cooler days with her dress!

It's all about the twirl!

I was thrilled when I was chosen to test for Suzanne at Winter Wear Designs again! Especially since this dress is so gorgeous! The Creative Princess was in love from the start. I found some blue linen that was gifted to me years ago and set out to make THE Easter Dress for my girl.

 There were a bunch of options for this dress including a simple scoop back (this is the back that the Creative Princess chose immediately - I was not surprised!), different lengths and a circle skirt or a rectangular skirt.

 It took a bit of adjusting to get the fit right for the Creative Princess on the back but it was well worth  the effort as she has worn her Bateau Garden Dress several times already.

Pattern Specs:
Pattern: Bateau Garden Dress
Sizes: 1-14
Fabrics: Wovens - lightweights are better for draping
Difficultly: Intermediate - There is an invisible zipper in the side seam of this one.
