Over the past 9 years of sewing garments, I’ve made a few free patterns. I thought it would be fun to do a little roundup, and hopefully it will be a helpful resource too. If you click on any of the titles of the patterns, it will take you to the pattern page or to the page that tells you … Continue reading “Free Sewing Patterns”
We had our first Lisbon Sewist Meet-Up a year ago, and I met so many other amazing sewists in the area. One of them was Susana who is the sweetest person, and she’s also a really great pattern designer. She mainly designs children’s clothing, and her patterns are all available at Suco by Susana on Etsy. She was kind enough … Continue reading “Suco by Susana – Fragola Top”
I know there aren’t a lot of people here for the baby clothes, but this was just too cute not to share. This is a dress that I made for my sister’s baby who is due in a couple of months. Since I’m so far away and won’t be there to help her, I really wanted to make her something … Continue reading “Made by Rae – Geranium Dress with Eyelet Trim”
This is your friendly reminder to start sewing those dresses so they can be worn all summer long! This is the third Janie Dress (sizes: 6mo – 12yrs) that I’ve made for Vanessa, and she LOVES it. She wears these dresses anytime they’re clean, and I love watching her walk down the sidewalk and then randomly twirl. She even does … Continue reading “Janie Dress Love”
Is there anything better than a really good twirly dress?? I made this Janie Dress (6mo-12yr by Mouse House Creations) for Vanessa a couple of months ago, and she has surprisingly worn it quite a bit! It always makes me so happy when she requests to wear it. She wore it on a cooler day with her new shoes and a jacket … Continue reading “Janie Dress with Ballerina Neckline”
I’m still playing a little bit of catch up with the things I’ve sewn and thought it would be fun to share the two dresses that I sewed for Vanessa last month. Her birthday is in July, so I sewed the peach-colored eyelet dress for her and finished it just in time! I used some fabric that I got at … Continue reading “Little Girl Dresses”
This is a very late blog post and I will try my best to include all of the information that I usually do, but I made this 2+ years ago. In October 2021, I made my family dinosaur hoodies for Halloween, and I apparently never blogged about it! I did post it on Instagram, but a blog post wasn’t on … Continue reading “Hey June – Halifax Hoodie”
Hi friends! Just a little blog name update — This is now The Sewing Things Blog! When I started blogging 6 years ago, I had just started sewing, and still wasn’t committed (read: scared) to making this a sewing blog. My husband and I did a lot of different things that I would blog about, so ‘The Doing Things Blog’ … Continue reading “Blog + Life Update”
