The sewing community is a wonderful community. It is full of wonderful ladies, and I Guess a few gentlemen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of these ladies, that I have been so Lucky to meet in real life, is Inês!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is the auther of the blog <a href="https://lafoliesewingbooth.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">La Folie, Sewing Booth and more</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today a bunch of other wonderful sewing ladies have come together to honor Inês by making something that she has been an inespiration too - see what we did there? :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Inespiration was Inês' <a href="https://lafoliesewingbooth.wordpress.com/2015/11/19/1st-japanese-sewing-week/" target="_blank">#beetlejuicedress</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how it looks on her, I especially love the sleeves and the black and white graphic designs in the fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my take on the #beetlejuicedress:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a burdastyle pattern, because I don't have the Japanese sewing book Inês used, and she says it comes only in one size... and let's be real her, there is no way I can fit the same size as Inês :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I chopped off my dress and made it into a shirt - still Inespiration - I still have the sleeves and the fabric that are similar! And the shirt fit me way better than the dress ever did.</div>

I made two Sue shirts. One where I color blocked it - the shirt comes in two versions, but has the option of a thisr option. The neck opening can be much wider, or as the two I made closer to the neck. I have worn this striped one a lot. The fabric I used had vertical stripes, but a four-way stretch, so I turned the stripes horizontal.</div>

My second Sue is a short sleeved Version - and I know I will wear this a lot for work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a thin jersey fabric, and it has a Nice fit. I chose to make the neckbinding into a band on this one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a rather thick fabric for the pants, and it has some stretch to it. I slimmed the pattern down, because of the weight of my fabric. I really like them and they are super comfortable.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really happy about how my clothes turned out, and all four of them will get worn a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ easy sewing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ fit is generally good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ easy to understand directions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ lots of nice patterns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- make sure you measure the length - both the pants and the sleeves are long on me. But then again, it's better they are too long than too short.</div>

Today it is my turn to take part in the Block After Party for <a href="http://www.petitapetitandfamily.com/" target="_blank">Petit A Petit Patterns</a> - all made by the über talented Celina!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't tried out her patterns before - now is the time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has recently released two new patterns and a third is coming real soon. I sewed up the Loveralls, the Friday dress and also included the Elm Poncho. The Loveralls also come in a skirt version. The Friday Dress will be released very soon!</div>

There are a total of seven patterns and they make up the cutest summer wardrobe. They have a clean, simple and modern look, perfect for Scandinavian Girls. I chose (my girls chose) pattern 105, 108 and 110, which is a cropped Girls shirt, a dress and a romper. I modified the romper. The shirt and dress are sewn as the patterns, I just lengthened them because my Girls are taller than the patterns state.<br />
<br />
WE ARE IN LOVE!<br />

This is a simple, dolman style dress With a half circle skirt. It's such a quick sew and can easily be made into both a shirt and a skirt. What I like about these patterns, is the amount (or lack of) of paper I had to print. The romper printed on six papers!</div>

The dress can easily be paired With the shirt - which took me just over a Commercial break to sew - after cutting, of course. This one will be a summer staple this year.</div>

I don't have a lot of Pictures of the romper - she was just not feeling well, and somhow she got a hole on the back of her thigh putting it on. The romper is initially a shorts romper. It is rather short and after all we live in Norway - so I lengthened the legs and put the band so she can wear it as a Capri. She loves it soooo much and is really sad about the holw - I will have to make more of this too.</div>

Thank you, Liz, so much for having me on the blog tour!<br />
<br />
Discalimer: I received the Three patterns to sew up for the tour, but the opinions are totally honest - we truly love these patterns, they are cleverly made and they fit and look super cute - these patterns will be reused!<br />

The dress was so easy to put together. I learned a new sewing method. Fit was spot on. The directions were so clear and it went really fast to make - which always makes me happy. The twirl factor is also important here! Honestly,we just love this!<br></p>

The tunics are their most worn items after I made them. The pattern is by Holli from Hello Holli (www.helloholli.com). <a href="http://hellohollipatterns.com"> </a>And it's called the Blue Ridge dress and tunic. I'm away at a cabin with no internet, borrowing some internet from a cafe, writing this on my phone... hence the short post. But you NEED this patter. We get compliments every time they wear the tunics. And if you make a mistake like me, turning the skirt backwards, you'll get a hi-low tunic also.</p>

My girlies were going to a birthday party today. I made the present and one of the birthday dresses this morning. I used a raglan shirt pattern for the dress and the tunic. The fabric for the dress is 11 years!!! She loves how it turned out.</div>

For the present I made a tunic - I added elastics in the side seams to ruffle it up some - and a skirt. I had both fabrics in my stash. They are velveteen.</div>

My parents are visiting my brother. So one of my nieces got this shirt. Also a raglan shirt - it takes less than half an hour to sew, so this is my new favorite pattern! The pattern will come for sale at Titchy Threads!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My other niece got a similar shirt as the blue striped shirt - the Rowan Tee - shown in the previous post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love me some quick sewing!!!</div>

I've been so, so lucky to pattern test the Rowan shirt for <a href="http://www.titchythreads.com/" target="_blank">Laura from Titchy Threads</a>. She released this new wonderful pattern yesterday. My girls and I love it!!!! The pattern has 144 different options - like, that's a lot!</div>

Review of the pattern:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why we like it:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has a simple, basic shape (my girls like this)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a very simple sew, and fast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has so many options</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is very easy to hack and make different - I see some hooded dresses in out future...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The directions are super easy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fit is so nice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's easy to combine sizes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kangaroo pocket has high sides, so things won't fall out (also my daughter's comment) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very easy to make for both girls and boys</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And there really is nothing I don't like... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you sew for your kids, you need this <a href="http://www.titchythreads.com/" target="_blank">pattern</a>!</div>

May 17th is Norway's national day - our constitution day - and this year we celebrated 200 years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bunads - our National dresses are a big deal here in Norway. We can literally tell where someone comes from by the type of Bunad they're wearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My bunad is made by my mother and I - and it is from the county I live in - Vest Agder - and even further, the embroidery on my apron and shawl is from the farm my great grand father is from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This is my Vest Agder bunad! They are really expensive - like $ 3000 - and that's a cheap one. Very often we get them when we get confirmed at the age of 15.</div>

This year I made my daughters' dresses - they are not real bunads - they are more of a folk dress. They don't belong to a geographic region and I bought the ribbons instead of embroidering them.</div>

The back side - showing the shawl. I am so proud to wear a bunad, letting everyone know how much I love my country and letting them know where I belong. If you google bunad, you will get a lot of different ones up - and just know there is a different bunad for every part of the country!</div>

So, this is the worst thing I do, pose for pictures... all in my winter white skin and all!!! But I've tested the California Dress, and I love it - so I think I need to show it to you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://everythingyourmamamade.com/" target="_blank">Kymy from Everything Your Momma Made & More</a> has made a grown up version of the California Dress I tested for my daughter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And even though I hate looking at pictures of myself, blah, I really love this dress. It's a very quick sew and it has so, so many versions to it: reversible (not mine as a high low version), two halter necks, two scoop necks, knits, woven, five different lengths - you can try and do the math... multitudes of variations! I can think of at least 20 ways to make and wear this dress. Oh, wait - you can also put the binding as a contrast as I did, or hidden on the inside. I give up - too many different versions for me to figure out how many.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kymy has also included a maternity version and a nursing version!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to make the high-low version, because all the dresses I see in stores this season are high-lows. And I decided to make the dress a little different, and use different colors for the front and back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how playful and summery it looks. And it is super comfy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have once again been so lucky as to test a pattern, and man we are in love!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is <a href="http://www.eymm.com/about-us/kymy/" target="_blank">Kymy's (of Everything Your Mama Made & More</a>) Reversible California Dress. And this beauty has so many options! I was chosen to make the maxi dress, but it also shows options for knee length, high-low and peplum top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern will be on sale Saturday the 26th as a pattern bundle sale at <a href="http://bit.ly/1jAu9xV" target="_blank">Pattern Revolution!</a> you do NOT want to miss this!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I regret about this pattern, is that I didn't get the lines and colors to match, but I just didn't have enough fabric to make the side seams match.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The dress has two different bodices, and can be worn whichever way the child prefers. My daughter preferred the scoop neck in front, but I kind of like the halter neck.</div>

The waist band is so easy to put where is most becoming for you or your child. My daughter wanted more of an empire waist, so I just moved the casing for the elastic up to where she wanted it.</div>

<li>the look is so beautiful</li>
<li>the size range going all the way up to size 18</li>
<li>the easy instructions to follow</li>
<li>all the different versions and alternations this pattern lets you do</li>
<li>knit fabric</li>
<li>it's a fairly quick project!</li>

I love making clothes that just look so professional, clothes where people will come up to me and ask where I bought it! And I know that will happen with this pattern. It is VERY professional. </div>

I made mine in a laminated fabric (that's supposed to be a tablecloth...) and I didn't include a lining. In Norway this will be a summer raincoat, and I didn't think a lining was necessary. </div>

I folded all my seam allowances over to one side and top stitched them and then I sealed them with a rain coat sealer. I think/hope it will be totally water proof.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I changed up from the pattern, was making this thing in the neck to hang the poncho from. It's a large piece of clothing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not a very quick sew, because there are so many long seams to sew, but it is worth all the time making it, it looks so professional and it is just so beautiful. If your child is anything like mine, they will wish for rain on a sunny day, just to be able to wear it!</div>

My daughter initially chose these fabrics, but I didn't have enough denim for the pants. Then someone in the tester group mentioned shorts... VOILA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She also has a jumpsuit shorts from last year that's getting too small - so this one makes her SOOOOO happy. She loves it and wish the weather was warm enough to wear every day.</div>

The pattern is made by Celina from <a href="http://www.petitapetitandfamily.com/" target="_blank">Petit a Petit</a> and is one of the patterns in the collaboration <a href="http://www.willowandcopatterns.com/blog/" target="_blank">Willow & Co</a> .

I got to test the two piece, with pockets. We love how it looks. My daughter has a thing for halternecks, she loves them, and she loves baggy pants. Here she has both. She also loves jumpsuits.... so I see a lot more of these in the making!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I tested size 9 on my 9-year old. I would go up a size, because I like what I sew to have some room for growing. My daughter has the exact height measurements as the pattern for this size.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do I love about the pattern:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's easy to sew</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's fast to sew (I love that!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's so versatile ... easy to change up, easy to mix up fabrics</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the modern look</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the very good instructions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the easy put-on/take-off - since it's a jumpsuit</div>

With the two piece you get some wonderful pants - my daughter loves these, and I will be making more pants. And you get a beautiful top - and it is mommy-approved - it is really decent - because their is elastic around the neck and back, it won't slide to the side and show anything others shouldn't be seeing, you know what I mean?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally able to spill the beans!!! <a href="http://www.willowandcopatterns.com/blog/" target="_blank">Willow & Co</a> are releasing 10 new patterns April 22nd. And I have been SO LUCKY as to test two of their patterns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ASH Jumpsuit and the ELM raincoat Poncho. We are in love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually made three ASH jumpsuits - it is so versatile! I made the above two piece one with peach polka dot cotton fabric and black linen pants. We love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter initially picked out the fabrics on the picture below, but I didn't have enough of the denim to make the pants... then someone in the tester group mentioned shorts!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3DQ2gUAKxBX5IlCQFaH0kCrhMo0KjxG3Ud4CLhHM7g5VeM-fvIe-a3-UN3dHu2esFpOQLsmpcSiKEQmpw87Qdxoyamt8xh8Q8STgBOHMZwe3y_8FeJkTSc0IyqEwG_nffD8nDGMKmxc/s1600/2014-02-05_16-38-22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3DQ2gUAKxBX5IlCQFaH0kCrhMo0KjxG3Ud4CLhHM7g5VeM-fvIe-a3-UN3dHu2esFpOQLsmpcSiKEQmpw87Qdxoyamt8xh8Q8STgBOHMZwe3y_8FeJkTSc0IyqEwG_nffD8nDGMKmxc/s1600/2014-02-05_16-38-22.jpg" height="640" width="518" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are made as the jumpsuit. My daughter loooves jumpsuits, I see a lot more in the making for summer - I have so many ideas with this pattern, and it is soo quick. During my testing week, my daughters told me one night they had a dress up party the next evening, and one of them wanted to be Princess Jasmine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6VY89hP1KbJg-Ls-mr-Wt1fnRiMQ5CE0z7K7bBC02u2bWQ3zmWouD7T9iKuJQw6ZMjvtNF5ox1R_dZRsRzabv9HjIoW0ZutH43RQ9nE-Opk_5Sf4jqjBhq9R33y4EdCEV4dn-LgvVeV0/s1600/1475949_10152242692406480_970481645_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6VY89hP1KbJg-Ls-mr-Wt1fnRiMQ5CE0z7K7bBC02u2bWQ3zmWouD7T9iKuJQw6ZMjvtNF5ox1R_dZRsRzabv9HjIoW0ZutH43RQ9nE-Opk_5Sf4jqjBhq9R33y4EdCEV4dn-LgvVeV0/s1600/1475949_10152242692406480_970481645_n.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another ASH was in the making! And it is so quick (and modest) that she ended up going as Princess Jasmine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next pattern I made was the ELM raincoat poncho. Now, she didn't really want a poncho, until I told her it was a raincoat poncho... of to the fabric store, we found this really cool laminated cotton or oilcloth (all I know is that it's supposed to be a tablecloth... )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihGu-eQH8BCqJJC89LBBew8JmeMC-PQmR515Ak2nqJnHDYwQQ_V_07Mee0cCsy-CDACibBvbiU4qXLwWiAQJc2AC0SNouegusNHr4LrDxhdcZe3arXoXmts3O7SzO7-Jfl1kV8yq_l_Ek/s1600/2014-02-05_16-34-26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihGu-eQH8BCqJJC89LBBew8JmeMC-PQmR515Ak2nqJnHDYwQQ_V_07Mee0cCsy-CDACibBvbiU4qXLwWiAQJc2AC0SNouegusNHr4LrDxhdcZe3arXoXmts3O7SzO7-Jfl1kV8yq_l_Ek/s1600/2014-02-05_16-34-26.jpg" height="640" width="374" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are both so much in love! I haven't put the snaps in yet, since my fabric is very sturdy, I needed some sturdy snaps, they'll come in today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was finishing up the poncho, my daughter actually said she wished it was raining... that's how much she loves it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is not a quick sew, but it is so worth the time spent!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, head on over to <a href="http://www.willowandcopatterns.com/blog/" target="_blank">Willow & Co</a>. The patterns will be sold as a package deal and they can be bought individually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(The opinions written here are all mine and my daughter's)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will give you more pictures of each pattern in the days to come. I think they are so wonderfull, they deserve a blog post of their own!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we cheated a little - it's supposed to be a rain jacket... but I made it in a very light corduroy fabric - and it's perfect for the spring weather we're having right now - sun, very cold in the mornings and warmer during the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a very well made pattern - and a little time consuming, but oh so worth it. It's made with double seams almost all over, and I know this will hold up for all her playing and jumping on the trampoline...</div>

I've tested <a href="http://www.eleganceandelephants.com/2014/04/spring-showers-jacket-testers.html#comment-form" target="_blank">Elegance & Elephants new pattern - Spring Shower Jacket</a> - and we LOVE it so very much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fit is perfect, the details are beautiful, the directions are easy to follow. My daughter has a new favorite jacket!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did change the waist - she didn't want a rope hanging ... and I put elastic in instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Head on over and check out the new pattern!</div>

Wow - am I happy to be here today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I hope you guys have been following this wonderful series and all the wonderful creations based on books!</div>

I am Tone from <a href="http://www.blessbytone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bless</a> - I create mostly for my twin girls, they are my muses and my inspiration!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this series I chose to use a book I bought for my girls when they were three years old. We live in Norway, but the girls' father is from the U.S, so I'm always looking for English books to practice their English. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have read this book so many times. I think after a month they knew it by heart. We had so much fun reliving it through the photo shoot!</div>

Without further ado, here is:</div>

I just need to get it out of the way: Yoooooohoooooo, yippi, huuuurrray!!! I'm on Project Run and Play ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am Tone from <a href="http://www.blessbytone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bless</a> and I love to create clothes for my twins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, now we can get back to the reason why I'm here today, namely designing clothes for kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My twins are 7 years old.. When I first found out I was carrying twins, I just kind of knew I didn't want to dress them completely the same. They are two (very) different individuals, and they need to show that also through the way they are dressed. I think the same goes for siblings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you look through my blog, you will see lots of clothes made for my girls that:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1: are made from the same pattern, but different fabrics</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When trying to make outfits similar, but not the same, I think it is important to take a few things into consideration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My girls are very different, and I do want their clothes to show off their personalities, yet match.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this Similar, but not the same, I've made two very different outfits, but they still match - the girls would still be considered as sisters, but they would not be called by each other's name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this outfit, there are some features that are common, like the color scheme - gray and red, and lace. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a shirt and a skirt for one of the twins and a dress for the other one. (and as much as I've ranted about matching the personality, guess what, the "dress" twin doesn't like her dress, she wants it without all the lace... but she was a good sport and played along for the photo shoot)</div>

I'll show you a mini tutorial for how I made the shirt. You'll find tutorials for the dress and the skirt at my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use a pattern with a raglan or make a pattern from an old shirt. <a href="http://lilblueboo.com/shop/products/Recycled-T%252dShirt-Sienna-Dress-PDF-Pattern-and-Tutorial-%252d-Sizes-6M-to-6-Years.html" target="_blank">The Sienna Dress pattern</a> is a good pattern for this cause.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just made my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Sew the side seams of the bodice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Sew the sleeve together.</div>

Here you can see my sleeves folded in half - measure how long you want the lace. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the lace 2-3 inches wider than the sleeves and the desired length.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's time to attach the lace and the sleeves to the bodice part. Pin the lace to the sleeve, make a couple of ruffles. Make sure the lace is around on the right side of the sleeve. Pin it on both sides.</div>

It will look like this when it is sewn on.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And like this ... Pin it again to the neck line, attach the neck piece like the pattern tells you to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fabric was very knitty (is that even a word?) and stretchy and my front piece was a little big, hence the zipper. But we like the look of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so if you please - attach a zipper!</div>

Bringing home my pattern!<br />
<br />
Wow - I'm so excited to be here today! I am Tone (Tuna) from <a href="http://www.blessbytone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bless</a>.<br />
I had these great plans for this post. I got an email April 24th inviting me to participate with a guest post during the month of May. Yeah! I quickly found the romper below, and decided I wanted to make this - (I knew I wanted to make a summer outfit - we might be going to Florida this summer, eeeeeehhhh) I even wanted to make a pattern for you guys, with a wrap around skirt to go over it .... I bought the fabric, started to draft the pattern ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusDoNCsNkRfD5xXN1d7HZIo3UEpYBcdMcFGvsH1RCMR_acKYemzfTjXS1rdo6AOgfV2tYw_5GEZurUWnkuLkerTVmjLwmljTXX8qiGPY07qOGZNsrRaYs17beob8NGE-IUSJXP7cQqYk/s1600/013444-0008_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusDoNCsNkRfD5xXN1d7HZIo3UEpYBcdMcFGvsH1RCMR_acKYemzfTjXS1rdo6AOgfV2tYw_5GEZurUWnkuLkerTVmjLwmljTXX8qiGPY07qOGZNsrRaYs17beob8NGE-IUSJXP7cQqYk/s320/013444-0008_1.jpg" width="251" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this happened:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUPMzRNdQVHpDhg2ef1QczSf5lGXnMhCpqPuDxgVJmaNwX3Hop4qTBOW0vBLd4XmwECnYiCXxuIdfFygRvBC1uN3utWYl-3SF-vEU_CvVlUNpl3ZW6cAYQIub538R1k-VU_ZzdKJee35s/s1600/_Z7A4216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUPMzRNdQVHpDhg2ef1QczSf5lGXnMhCpqPuDxgVJmaNwX3Hop4qTBOW0vBLd4XmwECnYiCXxuIdfFygRvBC1uN3utWYl-3SF-vEU_CvVlUNpl3ZW6cAYQIub538R1k-VU_ZzdKJee35s/s320/_Z7A4216.jpg" width="208" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A set back? Yes, a small one. I decided mine was still a little different and continued with my plans,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then this happened:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMooqLjq-xhR6iuaigbY50KsgS_Y1gx0CKuEfcnBFE2nJE112R-SUNtnobx3aVmKo0x7e90P9k40q6ultg7NkMPvQQjuFfz9umVdsFOcQUxcRTazFkjy4IUGcTtyj-hmBBaSbi4_ddlig/s1600/pleat2+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMooqLjq-xhR6iuaigbY50KsgS_Y1gx0CKuEfcnBFE2nJE112R-SUNtnobx3aVmKo0x7e90P9k40q6ultg7NkMPvQQjuFfz9umVdsFOcQUxcRTazFkjy4IUGcTtyj-hmBBaSbi4_ddlig/s320/pleat2+Collage.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A new pattern on the way from very talented Heidi from<a href="http://www.eleganceandelephants.com/2013/05/just-sew-series-at-mama-says-sew.html" target="_blank"> Elegance & Elephants</a> ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to "kill" my plans ... and thought, looked, searched for some new information ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it occurred! Project Run and Play .... Project Runway!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then started looking for inspiration over at Project Runway and came across this dress:</div>

Thank you so much for having me today!<br />

This is my project for the Red, White and Blue oveday.<br />
r at Sugar Bee Crafts!<br />
<br />
I am Norwegian, and we live in Norway - our national day is May 17th and we wear our national dresses that day, BUT - my daughters also have their American citizenship. Princess in particular loves everything American!<br />
<br />
She has wanted a pair of American flag leggings for the longest time. They are everywhere this year here in Europe.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made her this pair, together with the Stars and Stripes sweat shirt.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Use a pattern for leggings, one you have or check out <a href="http://gotopatterns.com/collections/pants-patterns/products/go-to-leggings" target="_blank">Go to patterns</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just cut up some we had at home that were a little small and made my own pattern. One leg should be navy and one leg should be red. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use white fabric paint to paint on the stars on the blue fabric and the stripes on the red fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll give you a tutorial later for how I made the shirt. I drew up the pattern myself and we quite like it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you've cut out the pattern pieces, use white for the stars and stripes and red for the red stripes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used dry brushes, because I wanted that worn look.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The shirt has two loose ties at both sides so that it can either be tied or loose. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She's so happy with her outfit, she decided to wear it after the photo shoot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that's what I call success - and I think it fits in with the attitude clothes she likes to wear, but yet decent enough for her mother!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as for the paint .... if you're in a rush, like me - like because you forgot a deadline, for example .... dry the paint with your hair blower before you sew the pieces together!</div>

I was so lucky as to be one of the pattern testers for the Edelweiss dress from <a href="http://www.heyjunehandmade.com/" target="_blank">Hey June</a>. Adrianna, the pattern maker, is also the co-writer over at <a href="http://www.crafterhoursblog.com/" target="_blank">Crafterhours!</a> And man is she talented (they both are ...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We love this Pattern - with a capital P!</div>

One of my favorite things with sewing, is combining fabrics. And this pattern is perfect for it. There are so many options for combining fabric. </div>

Princess - in the brown dress - doesn't like ruffles and bows. She likes clean lines and fabrics without too many colors. She chose this brown fabric (a thrifted duvet cover) and chose not to have the ruffles over the shoulders.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Angel, the one in the pink w red dots dress, likes girly clothes. The fun thing with these dresses was that they chose their own fabrics. I told them to choose two fabrics from my stash. I love their combinations.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Angel also chose the blue flowery fabrics, but my girls are on the smaller side of size 8 and it turned out too big for her. We gave it to one of their class mates.</div>
