Sewing and Such

It's easier to photograph my girls in my makes than myself! Day 8 Pattern: Ruby Top (refashion) Designer: Made by Rae Blogged: Not yet, but soon! Day 9 Pattern: Charleston Dress …
Sew Like My Mom is on a roll! Before she even released the Plum Dolman pattern she was drafting this girls' dress, and it's incredibly cute. The Mandrake Dress releases today, and it's fast and so perfect as a staple dress for my girls. This is another knit dress that is available in sizes 12 …

One of my favorite sewing books is Handmade Style by Anna Graham (Noodlehead). I've made several of her patterns already: the Snappy Manicure Wallet, …
I'm sure at some point you may have wondered why the "vintage" part of Penny Sew Vintage. Well even if you haven't, and you probably haven't, it came from my obsession with vintage sewing patterns and fabric. I used to sew much more vintage before I started blogging and buying pdf patterns, so I'm particularly …
There's just something about unicorns, am I right? My girl is all about unicorns, rainbows, princesses and frog princes, so when I stumbled on Princess Dreams from Riley Blake, I snapped that fabric up before it sold out! I knew she'd love it for her unicorn themed birthday party and it would make a cute …
