<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh wouldn't we all love to wander the streets of Sorrento in this gorgeous maxi dress! I cut into some long hoarded Anna Maria Horner fabric in gorgeous fall jewel tones for this test and it did not disappoint. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This pattern has such a classic silhouette and goes together so beautifully. The pattern includes options for short and maxi lengths with a simple gathered skirt shown here. Or, you can add a circle skirt or circle skirt with ruffle for that full on girly twirl factor. I haven't had a chance to stitch the circle skirt version up yet, but I will be soon!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also stitched up the short gathered skirt version in a combination of fabrics for a fun everyday look. I embellished this one with buttons on the chest and a sweet little faux waist tie.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My little one has already worn this one a few times! It passes the comfort factor with that sweet elastic waist and easy fit.</span><br />

The most recent test by <a href="http://www.littlelizardking.com/">Little Lizard King</a>, the Lexington, is just too perfect not to share here. There are so many options with this pattern to make anything from a formal dress to a fun everyday top for those hot summer days.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The front bodice has a unique crossover design that could be an excellent place to play with fabrics. It has an optional "bodice band" that can be flat or gathered for added dimension. I made the simple everday fabric (with no bodice band) in a bright and sunny floral print perfect for summer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The back is my favorite part of this dress- those strappy ties and back elastic casings allow for the perfect fit. They also make this dress great for the hot summer days we get here in the South!</span><br />

The collection features three new dress styles- <span style="background-color: white;">Ardenne, Monet and Versailles. These timeless styles for modern girls were inspired by the beauty of the gardens in France. All three patterns will be releasing on Wednesday, March 29th. Here is a glimpse at all three patterns sewn and photographed by Crystal Thoreson in the Sarah Jane Magic fabric line- pure sweetness!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">I had the opportunity to sew up the Versailles from the Bloom collection for my little one. Versailles features a charming v-neck back and has optional double ruffles around the neckl</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;">ine which I adore! Versailles can be sewn either in knee or maxi length making it a wardrobe stable for spring and summer. The fully lined bodice makes it comfortable for those little ones to wear.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The back features buttons and a placket for ease of getting it on and off. I chose to use two small wood tone buttons on a chambray bodice. The skirt fabric is a gorgeous Anna Maria Horner print with such bright and fun colors for the upcoming season.</span></span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Versailles comes in sizes 12 month through 12 years. It is a gorgeous silhouette with or without those neckline ruffles. They make such a sweet statement though in my opinion.</span><br />

The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/485471644/constance-cape-pdf-girl-cape-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1">Constance Cape</a> is available now in her<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JillyAtlanta?ref=l2-shopheader-name"> Etsy shop</a> and will be only $5 for the first 24 hours! The perfect winter accessory for any little lady.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESDjFDFHapOiK9MF2ZbWCwZmN0K-O0waaSnmEXzAEqGcuh_KVzhevyVaB6CbkFw4L2mPo7JgXubFWxUbJL5j3U0C_9cu7v2XTT6jFNEh8bOxHPxAlCFk9AUhH6EBIBEbEMBfKkYhMNaY/s1600/Jilly+Constance+Cape+Three+Penguins+December+2016+020+pm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESDjFDFHapOiK9MF2ZbWCwZmN0K-O0waaSnmEXzAEqGcuh_KVzhevyVaB6CbkFw4L2mPo7JgXubFWxUbJL5j3U0C_9cu7v2XTT6jFNEh8bOxHPxAlCFk9AUhH6EBIBEbEMBfKkYhMNaY/s640/Jilly+Constance+Cape+Three+Penguins+December+2016+020+pm.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to sew this one up in a plaid brushed cotton just perfect for the holidays. I went with the ruffled collar option, because let's face it I have a thing for ruffled collars! I also chose to do the straight hem, but I can't wait to try out the scalloped hem version of this cape as well!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4P4mUAQVboC3twlsV_oTePbH2pBfIyBjxgs6ULTem2lcjSZchkHCRXAYy7uZ_0HZKP8pftKknA368QqPjaBr17EYoN5cVG8CTiSdzIu_LwR4LHPCJTAVef0TnEROK8fRwBZuAjoz8VUM/s1600/Jilly+Constance+Cape+Three+Penguins+December+2016+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4P4mUAQVboC3twlsV_oTePbH2pBfIyBjxgs6ULTem2lcjSZchkHCRXAYy7uZ_0HZKP8pftKknA368QqPjaBr17EYoN5cVG8CTiSdzIu_LwR4LHPCJTAVef0TnEROK8fRwBZuAjoz8VUM/s640/Jilly+Constance+Cape+Three+Penguins+December+2016+006.JPG" width="450" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The inside of the cape is fully lined and can easily be made reversible. My little princess was sick, so I wasn't able to get out to pick up any new materials for this one. So I went with a solid red cotton for the lining. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern includes instructions for cutting your ties on the bias, but I wanted to add a fun pop of red to our cape. These ties are just a red velvet ribbon that I had on hand. Love how sweet this one turned out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern ranges from size 2t up to a size 14. Pieces are nested and layered to save on what you print! There are so many fun combinations you can make with this pattern with the two collar options, two hem line options, and two closure options!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to use a simple ivory with black dot for the bodice (mostly to match these sweet little Joyfolie shoes to be completely honest) and then paired with a solid soft pink for the ultimate girly combo. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The side pleats are accented with sweet side bows and I also chose to add a bow to the bodice. The V-shape of the bodice is very unique and a fun change from the patterns I normally sew.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern ranges from size 2t up to 12 years. It includes a size chart to aid in choosing the correct size for the perfect fit. If you have a little one like mine, I often find myself mashing sizes to get the fit spot on! The interior finish on this one is gorgeous as well. The bodice seams are enclosed for a clean and finished look.</span><br />

I know mine certainly prefers them most days, so I was thrilled to test out that latest <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Made for Mermaids</a> pattern- the <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/lea/?affiliates=12210">Lea tunic, dress & romper</a>!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/lea/?affiliates=12210">This sweet little pattern</a> is loaded down with options. Lea can be a tunic or dress in all knit or with a knit bodice and woven bottom OR she can be a romper with either long or short legs in knit! This is the dress version in all knit with rolled cuff sleeves. The sleeves can also be hemmed if you prefer the look of no cuff.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The neckline has a gorgeous scoop in the back making it super easy to pull on and off. I love the look of the elastic casing at the waist, it makes for such an adorable silhouette.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For this test I used this sweet Art Gallery knit by Bonnie Christine from the Hello Bear Collection. This particular knit is the <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/bonnie_christine/hello_bear_knit/firefly_knit_in_sigh">Firefly Knit in Sigh</a>. I made the Size 1 width with Size 4 length for my little one, but really should have done the Size 5 length based on her height for a little added length. We plan to pair with little shorts underneath for easy play.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/lea/?affiliates=12210">This pattern</a> covers sizes 1/2 to 14 years, but guess what, there is a <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/mamalea/?affiliates=12210">mama version</a> too! Both are a great staple to add to your pattern collection.

I was tickled to be invited to the <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/blog/"><span style="color: magenta;">Made for Mermaids Back to School blog </span></a>tour. I wanted to make something special for the first day of Kindergarten anyways- so what better excuse to make something sweet and take loads of pictures.</span><br />

It's one of those I have had in my collection for a long time because I just love the classic style, but just haven't taken the time to make. So, I was tickled at the opportunity to sew one up for the tour! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A precious v-neck front and elastic or shirred back can be paired to make a multitude of combinations. There is a top, a dress with or without ruffles, an A-line tunic, and even a Maxi dress length! I just had to make two the first day and really want to make the others now too! Here's a peak at our top version paired with <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Made for Mermaids Lucy shorts</a> in chambray.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The pattern has directions for making your own straps from fabric or dimensions if you choose to use pre-made bias or trim. I opted for this gorgeous vintage braided trim that I picked up locally for my dress version. I had no clue what I would use it for when I bought it, but I just knew I "needed" all that they had of it! The beads I found in my stash of vintage buttons inherited from my grandmothers and thought they added a fun touch.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the top version I used a sweet mint twill tape for the straps- I love some mint! I also used a gorgeous woven jacquard ribbon with one of the most beautiful color combinations. It just makes me swoon!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The pattern ranges from a size 1/2 up to a 14, so you can sew these up for many years! This pattern looks great on any age and the fit with the elastic back and sweet shoulder ties is very forgiving. The pattern includes a detailed size chart and fabric requirements.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Detailed step by step instructions with photos will guide you through the construction process from cutting to finishing. And as always, the pattern includes layers so you can choose any or all sizes to print out and save yourself a little ink. </span><br />

Welcome the newest pattern in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/browniegoose?ref=ss_profile">Brownie Goose</a> line up releasing Friday April 29th- the Junie Dress!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This dress has a criss-cross open back perfect for those hot summer days! Edged in bias trim for a touch of fun on the bodice- a great place to experiment with colors and patterns. The pattern includes instructions for making your own bias and also measurements for using pre-made bias if you desire.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I couldn't help but make a couple of these, and have almost finished my third now! Such a fun and fast sew! The waist has elastic for a fitted look and the pattern has two skirt fullness dimensions. These are both the fuller skirt option.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Junie starts at size 18 months and goes on up to a size 12! I think this is a great pattern for girls at any age! I added some buttons and a sweet little tie to the front of this one for a touch of fun.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pattern pieces are fully digitized and a helpful measurement chart is included to aid in choosing the right fit for your child. And as with all <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/browniegoose?ref=ss_profile">Brownie Goose</a> patterns, you get Amy's fabulously fun tutorial to keep you entertained as you sew up your Junie dress! Here are just a "few" more pictures of our Junie's to keep you entertained while you wait for Friday to get here!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">But the back of this dress is the real show stopper in my opinion- choose your most beautiful trim and let it shine! The pattern has instructions for pleating your trim but I chose to leave this gorgeous trim flat and let it shine all on its own.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">He's layin' everybody low</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He's got a love song that he made...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Is it stuck in your head now too? I've been humming this Indigo Girls oldie ever since I started cutting my first Juliette dress by <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Made for Mermaids.</a> Megan has another gorgeous pattern for us and it is just DREAMY- Meet Juliette!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Juliette can be a top, a short dress or a maxi dress as shown here. The pattern also has instructions for adding some DREAMY ruffles to the skirt for a gorgeous dress any little girl would love! It has a full circle skirt so there is an amazing twirl factor that they just can't resist!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern is made for knit fabrics and I chose to use a basic white/ivory knit. I had planned to add nylon chiffon ruffles, but my fabrics did not arrive in time and my little model actually loved it plain- so we added a cute Joyfolie belt and went for it!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern ranges from sizes 1/2 to 14. Made for Mermaids patterns are so easy to print and assemble. They include layers- so you print only the sizes you want to print. The pattern also includes materials needed, fabric requirements, and helpful tips for sewing with knits.</span><br />

Her newest pattern, the Charlotte, is a gorgeous ruffled top or dress with multiple sleeve options. Hello Charlotte!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern ranges from size 2 up to 8 years. I made the size 2 for my petite model with a size 4 length. The pattern includes size charts with measurements to aid in choosing the proper size.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the sleeveless top version but you can also add a short sleeve, three-quarter length sleeve or long sleeve with elastic. It can also be made into a dress with an elastic casing at the waist.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The back has a simple, yet sweet, button loop closure at the top. A fun place to use an accent fabric or fun little button! We paired our top with skinny jeans and boots for a fun and funky combo, but it would be equally sweet with coordinating summer shorts or skirt by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JillyAtlanta?ref=shop_sugg">JillyAtlanta</a>. </span><br />

The Eleanor by <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/clothing/eleanor-dress-tunic--romper-pattern/187148?fresh=true&NAVIGATION_PAGE_CONTEXT_ATTR=PATTERN">Honeydew Kisses Patterns</a><span id="goog_1744688477"></span><span id="goog_1744688478"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> is seriously like 1,000 options in one pattern. Fortunately, after the holidays have passed, I realized we were also in desperate need of some long sleeve winter dresses. So it was a win, win... I get to test a pattern and hang a lovely little long sleeve dress in the closet. Score! I give you Eleanor...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PtA4YmW3a0qauut-3Eq6RSwMzAYuWjuBcgLbC6MHfxvoH-ONEXl5nXyAw3V5vackNJ36kAMUqtm-J6sQ7UKhPIA24ltItulUKKwqPR63ez_5EZjbCKRUEobeANVZYLjChxGJB_Kxbk8/s1600/HDK+Eleanor+Testing+Three+Penguins+Jan+2016+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PtA4YmW3a0qauut-3Eq6RSwMzAYuWjuBcgLbC6MHfxvoH-ONEXl5nXyAw3V5vackNJ36kAMUqtm-J6sQ7UKhPIA24ltItulUKKwqPR63ez_5EZjbCKRUEobeANVZYLjChxGJB_Kxbk8/s640/HDK+Eleanor+Testing+Three+Penguins+Jan+2016+014.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So let's talk about a few of the options, I chose to make the long sleeve dress version. But, there are also options for flutter sleeves, short sleeves and three-quarter length sleeves! Oh and you can even layer the flutters with the other sleeves. I sized up on my sleeve length to a 4t and I honestly probably would have been fine with the 3t sleeve length, but this way we have room to grow for next year. The sleeve is gathered at the top and finished with a lovely bias trim on the sleeve.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made the dress length, but there are also options for tunic length, bubble length romper and a pant length romper! You can keep the dress simple, as I have done here, or add a single or double ruffle to the bottom of the hem line. Measurements and instructions for all of the above included in the pattern!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a lightweight pink corduroy with fine gold metallic dots and accented with gold sparkly buttons on the bodice. The pattern has instructions for a lovely placket on the front bodice that is completely optional for the dress and tunic versions, but needed for the romper versions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The back of this dress is both gorgeous and unique. A fun cross over style allows enough ease for taking the dress on and off without the front placket. The back has a straight bodice line, while the front has that gorgeous curve to the bodice. There is also an option for pockets on the outside of the dress or romper if you would like to add a fun accent fabric to your piece. </span></div>

I was tickled when <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JillyAtlanta?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Jilly Atlanta</a> started following me and invited me to test out her upcoming PDF pattern release- the Cali blouse & dress. It is such a classic, timeless pattern with loads of options!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I tested the size 2 for my little peanut and added the dress length of the size 4. The pattern has cut lines for both top and dress length. I love the versatility!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">There are several sleeve options on this pattern as well- short sleeves, long sleeves with elastic in the upper arm to create a gorgeous bell-sleeve style, trim on the sleeves, or elastic at the wrists, which is what I used in this test. I love a pattern with options!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern itself is a printable PDF that is color coded per size and includes a 1" test box to ensure you printed to the correct scale.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This pattern includes very detailed instructions with super clear pictures and even includes a link to a video tutorial on YouTube. The construction of this dress included some new techniques for me, which I am always happy to learn!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are additional instructions for adding trim along the neck line and sleeves. I left this one plain, but love the look of the trim in both places! Instead, I opted to add a trim just above the hemline for an added pop of color.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Luna dress is a flowy swing dress with a square yoke and princess seams. The yoke is a fabulous place for embellishment- trims, embroidery, buttons, oh my the options! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The back has a functional back opening with a continuously bound placket cut into the skirt for ease of getting on/off. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern is drafted with elbow length sleeves but there are instructions for adding/taking away sleeve length. The alternate view that I tested out has an angel sleeve that is built into the side panel via the princess seams.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Luna starts at a 6-12 month size and goes all the way up to 12 years. She is a generous fit due to her flowiness. I opted to do a tunic length- there are instructions for adding or subtracting length given in the tutorial so if you prefer tunic length go for it!</span><br />

The Lauren Pintuck Top & Tunic and the Evie Pleated shorts and pants have endless possibilities. I only had time to sew up a couple of the options but here is one of my favorite combos- the sleeveless Lauren with collar and Pleated Evie shorts with elastic.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I used an Art Gallery print in the Splendor 1920 line by Bari J called English Garden Serene. I love Art Gallery fabrics- so soft an buttery! I paired with a simple ivory Kaufman kona for the pintucked blouse.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The blouse has several sleeve options- sleeveless, short sleeve and long sleeve. It also can be cut in top or tunic length and you can add the collar or leave the neckline plain. Whoa- talk about a million combinations right there!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Evie Pleated shorts and pants are both adorable! Here is a look at both together. I used a chambray for the pants and really should have pressed them a little better before taking this pic ; )</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here they are in action- I made a size 1 with size 3 length for my tall/thin model and the fit was perfect!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think the sleeveless top would be great paired with a little cardigan for fall as well!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Evie also has an option for suspenders with either the shorts or pants. And the shorts can be made with or without the leg elastic- I happen to think the leg elastic is precious though! These would also be cute with tights for winter!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Both patterns range from a size 1/2 to 14 years! I love that Megan's patterns have such a wide size range and you get them all in one pattern. I also love the ease with which her PDFs print and go together with no trim pages and nesting so that you can print just the sizes you want to print.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started out doing the flutter sleeve option and added a pompom trim to my flutters as well as on the skirt petals. My first go I used this gorgeous lime green bird print by Moda. And now it's time for a confession- I made a little oopsie in the order of construction and had my front petals overlapping the back ones instead of the other way around like the pattern is written. The up-side is I really kind of like the different look that it gives this way- and my mistake helped to ensure that the instructions were crystal clear for you ; )</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern has options for 3 different sleeve looks: sleeveless, cap or flutter. I have now finished two of the three and look forward to sewing up the cap sleeve soon too! But we all know that this girl loves a flutter sleeve <3</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love a square neckline in the front but super love how this one scoops down in the back as well! Here is a good view of how the petals look in reverse order from the back in case you were wondering...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So after realizing my mistake, I felt the need to make another top with the petals in proper lapping order. This time I opted for this Joel Dewberry print in these gorgeous colors that remind me of the coming fall. I think this will be precious layered with a denim jacket or plum cardigan as the temps begin to fall- so I went sans-flutter to make layering easier!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A little more about </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.seasidenotions.com/">Seaside Notions</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> since this may be a new shop for you too! Her PDFs are wonderfully written with clear illustrations and step by step instructions. Included is a printing guide, fabric & material requirements, a measurement chart and instructions for blending sizes (great for those of us with non-typical sized little ones), oh and the digital pattern pieces are layered so that you can print only the sizes you want/need to print! What more can you ask for???</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The back does include both a button-hole and a placket but the instructions are very well written for the placket if you have never done one before don't be scared! The petals have 3 different finishing options- trim, bias trim or just a plain ole hem- something to please us all and give them tons of variety!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Meet the two newest patterns by Megan of <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Made for Mermaids</a>- the Hampton & the Olivia. These patterns are loaded with so many options, I am sure there is something to please everyone! Will get to more of the options in a minute, but for now here is a glimpse at the Hampton top paired with the Olivia pantaloons. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For this pattern test I chose to use some fabrics from one of my favorite Etsy Fabric Shops- </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreadStichesFabric?ref=hdr_shop_menu" style="font-size: x-large;">Threads and Stitches</a><span style="font-size: large;">. I wanted something with a fall feel to it, even though it is still unbearably warm here in Georgia. She has an awesome selection & fabulous customer service! For the top I used the Lecien My Folklore Double Border in Cream and accented with Kaufman linen in espresso. I love all things Lecien and had never seen this one with these stunning fall tones before! I also added a</span><span style="font-size: large;"> cluny lace from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreadStichesFabric">Threads and Stitches</a> to accent the elastic casings on the pantaloons. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Hampton </a>pattern ranges from sizes 1/2 up to size 8 and includes options for a top, dress, or romper in short, capri or pant length! Talk about endless options! You can make it with or without flutters to change the look up even further. I made the top length and used a Broderie Anglaise gathered eyelet lace trim as my flutters.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Olivia pattern is packed with options as well! It also ranges from size 1/2 up to a size 8. It includes options for traditional bloomers, ruched front bloomers, pantaloons and knit cuffed shorts! I have plans to sew up the other versions very soon! Both patterns will be available in the <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/?affiliates=12210">Made for Mermaids</a> pattern shop!</span></div>

And of course we head back to school next week, so why not kill two birds with one stone, right??? On a side note... I still can't fathom how school starts back August 5th! So early! I digress...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made the same size 2 as the original Seraphina that I made but added just a tad to the length this time since my 4 year old is taller than the typical 2 year old, although I didn't mind the length of the 2 on her, I just needed to make sure I had enough room for this adorable apple pocket!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The back still features buttons and a sash tie (which you could leave off if so desired). There is an optional front sash portion too if you wanted to extend the sash to the front as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For this pattern test I chose to use some Kaufman linen blends from one of my favorite Etsy Fabric Shops- <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreadStichesFabric?ref=hdr_shop_menu"><b>Threads and Stitches</b></a>. She has a gorgeous selection & always ships super fast! For the bodice and overskirt I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreadStichesFabric"><b>Kaufman Essex Linen blend in Plum</b></a><span id="goog_1703164780"></span><span id="goog_1703164781"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> and for the collar, sash, bodice accent, and under skirt I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreadStichesFabric"><b>Kaufman Brussels Washer Linen Blend in Natural</b></a>. A large cluny lace was used to accent the bodice and skirt hem as well. I was hoping for a look that could take us into fall- and this is perfect since it is still super warm here in Georgia!</span><br />

I adore the way that Amy writes her instructions- it's like just sitting down to sew with a friend. And friends, let me tell you, this newest pattern is seriously going to give the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/106183044/bg-originals-the-tilly-pdf-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_10">Tilly</a> some stiff competition on my cutting board....

Allie Oop is a sweet swing top with a delicate keyhole opening in front and options for either a tie front or button loop/button closure. I mean does it get any sweeter?<br />

The shoulders feature these cute button flaps that button in the back of the top for a precious surprise in the back. And I will let you in on a little secret- most you won't HAVE to do real buttonholes. The fit is generous enough with the keyhole opening that we could easily get it on/off without functional buttons. Only a couple of testers said they HAD to do buttonholes- but no worries if you do need buttonholes the pattern will walk you through it no problem- you can even get away with one functional button so you don't have to sweat it through two of them.<br />

<br />
I chose to use some basic fabrics for this test- a Moda Bella solid for the soft pink and a peppered brown solid for the bodice and coordinating <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/100412334/bg-original-the-darby-shorts-pdf-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_13">Darby</a> shorts. I accented with a gorgeous lace trim along the curved hemline and on the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/100412334/bg-original-the-darby-shorts-pdf-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_13"> Darby</a> tabs and my favorite brown wooden "Three Penguins" buttons.<br />

<br />
The construction of this top is easy enough for an advanced beginner in my opinion, as Amy carefully walks you through each step from cutting & creating your bias for the armholes and ties to fully enclosing your gathers in the bodice. Making bias is always the hardest part for me... I swear I will have no fingerprints one day soon...<br />
<br />

<br />
This sweet pattern can be made in either a top length or dress length- and the pattern includes instructions for adding/removing length from that curved hem if you need to do so. I am hoping to sew up the dress version very soon!<br />

<br />
Fully digitized pattern pieces included for sizes 6-12 months all the way up to size 12. This top is even adorable on the older girls- especially paired with some skinny jeans for school- totally age appropriate and modest for school! I am secretly hoping for a ladies version as well...<br />

I just adore the way this top bells out at the bottom- such a sweet sweet silhouette. Here are just a "few" more shots for inspiration... did I mention I love this top yet???<br />

Just one look at those sleeves has mean swooning....<br />

This pattern is absolutely gorgeous inside and out- the instructions are spot on and give detailed directions for adding french seams on the sleeves and adding a placket to the skirt so that the bodice/waist seam can be fully enclosed. There are also directions for skipping those steps if you prefer not too as well.<br />

With a super full skirt and ruffle your little princess will have a ball in this dress. I chose to use an ivory sateen along with a mint kona and a touch of lace down the front.</div>

I will be the first to admit- the sleeves and I had words at first- hemming that circle of sateen got the best of me at first, but then we decided the fabric was flowy (that's a word right?) enough to line them and we are back in good graces again ; )</div>

I went for a classic look with the black and white polka dot knit accented by solid black waist and top bands. The straps, bands, skirt and top are all separate pieces so you could have a lot of fun mixing and matching your fabrics.<br />

The straps cross over in the back to make a sweet little "X". The straps are interfaced to give them some added strength and stability. </div>

The pattern ranges from size 2 all the way up to a girls 12. There are instructions included for adding a shelf bra to the top or dress as well for those older girls that could use this support. It can be made as a top or dress and also has an optional bow for the front.<br />

As with all Lily Giggle patterns, Beth gives excellent tips for sewing with knit fabrics. The pattern pieces can be printed nested or a single size at a time. And, there are quick sew instructions at the start of the pattern followed by the detailed photo tutorial. That circle skirt is the sweetest!<br />
