Sewing and Such
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 …
It's been busy around here, but I wanted to share this simple appliqué tutorial I put together for Tie Dye Diva using her Jon and Janie Romper and Bubble pattern. I love this bubble romper, and this fabric is absolutely adorable! Hop on over to her blog for more pics and details! Haha! That face! I'll …
Today I'm sharing with you a fun little pattern release, and one of the versions is free! Designs by Call Ajaire completely redesigned her site this year, and she has so many plans in store for everyone beginning with this lovely knit dress. No this definitely isn't the knit dress version (haha!), it's the top …
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.

Today I'm over at Tie Dye Diva sharing a fun New York Minute* peplum hack. I finally made one for big sissy (can you see how happy this made her?!) after little sissy already had two of them, plus a third on the way! This is such a quick sew too as I've taken all …
I absolutely love the classic look of a circle skirt peplum. It provides just enough sophistication to make any outfit appear more than just thrown together, even for a little one, but realistically, they're one of the easiest things to sew. The new Fern Cardigan by Sew Like My Mom features a perfect little peplum …
I'm already planning for warmer weather and making clothes for my girls that can be layered now but worn come Spring and Summer. The Paneled Sunsuit by Designs by Call Ajaire has been on my to-sew list for awhile now, and while I was looking at Call Ajaire's new site with my daughter, she begged …
When I was testing the Raglan Party Dress for DbCA, I made my first test dress into a holiday "ornament" dress. I knew there was an underskirt add on down the road that would make my girl's dress really look like those ornaments my mom had when I was little! The pocket and underskirt add on …
I'm trying to work through not only my fabric stash but also my scrap stash. I'm not a huge quilter, so finding different ways to use small bits of woven scraps makes me happy, especially if they're as cute as these little kitty faces! I also really like personalizing a rather simple knit dress. I …
