Petit Oiseau

One of my favorite designers is Mel of Filles a Maman.  Her designs are thoughtful, with a unique flair, and yet the construction remains relatively simple.  For children’s clothing that’s exactly what I’m looking for: quick sew with a big impact.  Her Petit Oiseau shirt is on tour this week and it is no exception.


I love the look of this top.  The flounce across the front takes the volume from a five as a basic top all the way up to a ten for style.  It is designed for knits with fold over hems at the sleeves and waist, but the flounce can be made with a woven.

Bean had a cold over the weekend so she wasn’t up for pics, but she LOVES this new shirt.  She insisted on wearing it to bed and will be wearing it to school as well.

The size range is from 12M to 14Y and it sews together very quickly.  If for some reason you’re not into the flounce, the top can be made without it and you could use a contrast fabric for the upper part instead.

Just beware: that flounce is going to live up to the oiseau name (bird in french) and make your girl want to flap her wings all over the place!

and flap….and flap….hehe

The Diamondback Cami & Crop AND the coordinating D The Diamondback Cami & Crop AND the coordinating Diamondback Leggings are ready for testing!  Testing will begin on Tuesday the 9th and will end on Saturday the 20th.  These are two separate patterns, but will be tested in the same group simultaneously.

Works great together for dancewear or sport and as separates for casualwear.  The Cami & Crop are also able to made as swimwear ๐Ÿ˜, but FYI this pattern doesn't include a swim bottom. (I do have a FREE #classicmaillotswimskirt available in the shop though ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ) 
Depending on the fabrics, the crop can also be used as an undergarment bralette.
The Diamondback Cami & Crop and view A of the Diamondback Leggings require fold-over elastic.  You can use any knit for both patterns with at least 75% stretch, but the leggings need 4-way stretch.  Sizing nb-16years

We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weeke We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weekend!  We avoided crowds, wore masks everywhere, and got take out from town instead of eating buffet (๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) We were a little nervous, but the hotel itself was doing a great job managing things in a safe manner and we were more impressed than we expected, even though we spent the majority of the time alone together in our room ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† 
Itโ€™s amazing what a change of scenery can do for your spirit and the girls LOVED being able to spend the time away from school and work distractions ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
