Sewing and Such
Well, I couldn't ignore this pattern update because look at this great hemline! I tested the original Posey and Peony patterns for Sew Like My Mom awhile back, and since she's expanding many of her patterns to include tween sizing, she decided to add these patterns to that list and opened up another round of …
It's no surprise that as soon as Sew Like My Mom released the Tulipa Dolman, everyone was asking for the ladies' version. Well here it is! The Allium Dolman is now available in sizes XXS all the way through 3XL and on sale through tomorrow. There are several combinations available with this pattern, including top, …

In getting ready for colder weather (yeah, like still a few months away, but, sewing.), I noticed my sewing list has pants for pretty much both girls and myself. I really like the fit and ease of leggings for my girls, but I really wanted to find a fun pattern for a heavier knit fabric …
