EYMM Mommy & Me Tour

It's time for another blog tour! 

Mother's Day is right around the corner and what better then Mommy and Me outfits!

I sewed up the ladies storm and the girls rain.

I actually sewed up three shirts but little miss wasn't feeling well and slept though our photo shoot.

But, that's OK because it gave me and my not so little princess a chance to take some photos together.

I can't believe she is going to be 14 next week!

Where did the time go!

I was very excited to see that she still fits in the girls' rain pattern!

When a pattern goes from nb to size 18, you know you will get a lot of use out of it!!

The ladies' storm pattern also goes from xs to 5x.

I love that all the sizes are included in one pattern.

Oh my heavens! When did she get so big?!

Wasn't this just yesterday?

Just in time!

Somebody decided she couldn't miss out on this blog tour and was able to take a quick picture in her adorable rain top!

EYMM Capsule Skirt Tour

 Welcome to my stop on the EYMM Capsule Blog Tour!

It's no surprise that I love EYMM patterns but I had never made a capsule skirt before now.

Well, in about an hour I made not one, but three skirts!

The directions are super easy to follow and with the no trim pages, the pattern goes together fast.

 I have been eyeing this delicious knit at Joann's for awhile and it was perfect for these skirts.

This knit is so soft and the skirt is so comfortable. It is great for everyday wear. Switch out your fabric choice and you can have a fancy special occasion skirt.

I love that the pattern is available for babies up to adults and for dolls too!

I love that Little Miss and I where able to match. Pretty soon, she won't be as excited as she was today.

 

The pattern includes the straight hem like I made and a hem that offers more backside coverage.

There is also pockets, a regular waist and a fold over waistband.

Let's see your Capsule Skirts!

If you don't have the capsule skirt make sure you get it with the discount code below!

My Little Plumcake: Frolic Capsule

I am so excited to share with you the new My Little Plumcake Frolic Capsule!

First, what is a "capsule"? 

Well, Michelle from My Little Plumcake describes it best:

                              

 "So, what is a Capsule Wardrobe? Capsule Wardrobe's are popping up all over social media. They are a mini wardrobes made up of versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. Capsule Wardrobes often help minimize, simplify and save (space & $). We will continue to release new patterns that can be incorporated into the collection in 2016. Even better news is that a few will be free add-on's featured on our blog!"

The first five pieces of the capsule are here and the are amazing!

They are the Chiffon Skirt, Crop Top, Jacket, Jumpsuit and Shorts.  

First up is the Chiffon Skirt and Crop Top. 

This too cute top is a super quick sew and the skirt consists of layers of tulle and chiffon. 

The top buttons (or snaps) up the back and the skirt has a comfortable elastic waistband.

 Next, the Jumpsuit.

The Jumpsuit is made of knit and was easy enough for my potty training princess to get on and off.

It has an unique design at the ankle and pockets (which are always a hit).

 Last but not least, the Jacket and Shorts.

I have a confession to make. 

I found the fabric for the Jacket and Shorts at our church's thrift store.

It is vintage, cream and gold.

When I saw it I knew it had to be apart of my capsule. 

It kind of drove my fabric decisions.

This fabric and the Capsule is exactly what I needed for the Little Miss' perfectly posh spring wardrobe.

EYMM: Freestyle Harems Blog Tour

 

Welcome to my stop on the EYMM Freestyle Harems Blog Tour!

The weather here has been beautiful the last couple days and the Freestyle Harems are perfect for the cool spring days. These pants are so quick to sew up and they are absolutely adorable. Not to mention, they are comfortable!

For my version I chose the long pants with elastic at the ankles and an adorable v at the waist.

The pattern also comes with different lengths, waistband and hems. There is also a ladies version!

 

The Freestyle Harems are also perfect for chicken chasin'. Which happens to be a current favorite activity around our place.

EYMM: Kenzie's Holiday Dress Tour

It's that time of year to start thinking about holiday outfits.

Our family will be relocating out of state of December 23 so sewing is taking a backseat to packing and cleaning for awhile. 

But the Little Miss cannot go without a new dress for her holiday parties at school.

 

The simple version of Kenzie's party dress is perfect when you want something adorable and fast to sew. I love the classic look and the low back on Kenzie's Dress. For my version I shorten the skirt and added a band. 

The fancy version of Kenzie's is also amazing for when you want something a little more over the top. With this pattern you get two amazing dresses and the instructions on how to make them as skirts!

When I saw this fabric I knew I had to use it for Little Miss. 

Not only are we moving but we will also be getting goats, chickens and ducks!

This dress is perfect for her "barnyard" Christmas!

Now its time to start sewing your holiday outfits and to get you started...

From now until 11:59pm PST on Nov. 21 use code HOLIDAYDRESS2015 to save 50% off Kenzie's Party Dress (nb-4t), Kenzie's Party Dress(5-18tween) or on Kenzie's Party Dress Ultimate Bundle (nb-18tween + 18" doll size).

Gracious Threads: A New Look Blog Tour

 Welcome to the Gracious Threads: A New Look Blog tour!

For those that do not know me I am Lore from Blessed x Five.

For  this tour we were asked to come up with an outfit that is "something new" for us. 

New style, new prints, new techniques. You name it!

I was so excited to try out a new look for Little Miss.

My little miss is definitely a girly girl. 

She loves dresses, the ruffly the better.

 Her favorite past time is playing baby dolls 

( But don't cross her! Her three brothers have taught her how to kick butt!).

As you can see "something new" came pretty easy!

Pants!

 

For our look we went with the Jasper Joggers and the Raindrop Tee.

The Jasper Joggers feature pockets and faux welt pockets it the back. Little Miss has been infatuated with pockets lately. She was very happy to discover them on her pants. The Raindrop Tee is the perfect slim fit tee for the cool fall days. It also has an adorable high low hem.

I have to say even with out the ruffles and lace, this outfit is a hit!

 

Gracious Threads is graciously donating a free pattern to one of my readers!

Leave a comment below with something you a grateful for. At the end of the tour I will draw a winner!!
