I’ve made a few gifts recently.
1) I used this free pattern and tutorial to make a cute knit racerback dress in size 12-18 months. I just love racerbacks. I think Finley should have one.
I recently tried a new pattern from Shwin Designs called the Maggie Mae tunic.
I was excited to squeeze a dress out of a half yard of this precious Heather Ross print.
I usually make Finley a size 7 when I use Oliver + [...]

I got a new Oliver and S pattern, folks, and I LOVE it. It is called the class picnic blouse and it also includes a cute girls short pattern. The pattern has been out for a while, but it never seemed to interest me until I saw it in action [...]
I made this skirt using MADE‘s layer skirt tutorial and I quite like it. The construction is really smart and who doesn’t love twirly seersucker?
I left the serged edges exposed just like she did in the tutorial. I think it works well with the [...]
I have been wanting to make Fe a boat neck, 3/4 length sleeve dress for a while. I came across this dress by mini Boden and loved it. The buttons on the shoulder reminded me of the Oliver and S sailboat top. I already owned the [...]
Here is the other shower gift I made with my new book, “Handmade Beginnings” by Anna Maria Horner.

Welcome! My name is Summer and I love to make stuff. Most recently I've been learning to sew -- one project at a time. I'm excited to have a place to share my creations.
