I love the different patterns from The Sewn Edge. I have sewed the Float dress and the Skruffle leggings have been on my sewing list for a while. When I saw a call for testers for the Bounce Sweatshirt I jumped (...) on the occasion. Our eldest is not into sweaters too much but our... Continue Reading →
A new hit: Flora Flared pants
Our girls are really dress and skirt kind of girls, they basically wear dresses and skirts. Our eldest does sometimes wear pants, but then they have to be flared! I already sewed these ones in French Terry and these ones in stretch rib. Now our two eldest have new favorite pants: the Flora Flared pants... Continue Reading →
Comfy footie pajama pants
Our girls love to wear lounge pants, especially during the weekend when they do not have to get dressed. Especially now that we are not having too much to do during the weekend, they can wear lounge pants all day long. When they saw their new Footie sprite pajama pants from Stitch upon a time*...

It’s all in the details: Wide Leg Trousers
Like you might have noticed our eldest likes retro pants (and maybe I do like her with retro pants as well). I haven't sewed many pants, but the pants that I sewed for were retro bell pants. When I showed a picture to her of the pants that I am showing today, she got excited... Continue Reading →
Retro bell pants
Our girl loves retro clothing. She has been wearing these pants until I took it away from her closet because they were way too short. So I decided to make another pair. The last time I colour blocked the bell pants (see a video on how to here). This time I kept it simple and... Continue Reading →

However, when I went through my closet I came to the conclusion I only had jeans and I was looking for something a little more summery (and not shorts). Since I always find it difficult to find well fitting pants, I thought... Continue Reading →
My first pair of trousers: Gobi Culottes
I cannot believe it, but I sewed my first pair of trousers and I love them! I am so proud of myself! The Gobi Culottes by Itch to Stitch* are designed for twill, non stretch, woven fabrics. I used a twill fabric with a very soft inside that I bought at Textielstad. They are so... Continue Reading →
Railway Joggers by Sofiona Designs
Sometimes, I am so sad that our eldest doesn't want to wear pants. This makes that I do not sew many pants for her. She is the only one in our household who fits in clothing that starts at 2Y. Our middle daughter, although she is 3, still falls in the 12-18M size range with... Continue Reading →
How to Colour Block Bell Bottom shaped (Fit) Pants?
Do you also find pants in just one colour too boring for your kids? I do! I am always looking for a way to spice up pants (if I sew pants or leggings) and add a colour block. Then we were asked to make a video tutorial for a video party. I decided to make... Continue Reading →
Bella Sunshine: Back to School Blog Tour
Blog tours are a great way to push me to start sewing. For the back to school blog tour by Bella Sunshine Designs* I used three different patterns to start my fall sewing. Although it is still searing hot here I sewed an outfit that she can wear once she goes back to school and most... Continue Reading →
