Long Sleeved Paneled Sunsuit Christmas Dress - Cyber Monday

It's Cyber Monday and the last day of the Designs by Call Ajaire Etsy shop sale!  You get 40% off with the code DbCABLACK and if you join the Designs by Call Ajaire Facebook group there's a coupon code for 50% off.  That makes the Paneled Sunsuit pattern only $5 which is crazy.

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.

Biggest Sale of the Year!

Between Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, this weekend is filled with ALL THE SALES!  You'll have a lot of different PDF pattern sale options and the Designs by Call Ajaire shop is no exception.  We've gone a little crazy and I'm offering 40% off all patterns in the Etsy shop through Monday using the code DbCABLACK!

Calvin Cargo Pants - Momma Quail Patterns

My friend Amy from Friends Stitched Together is having a pattern tour for her Momma Quail Patterns and I gladly joined in.  I love her aesthetic and attention to detail with the clothes she makes for her boys, so I knew her clothes patterns would be well designed and stylish.  It was hard to choose just one to make, but in the end Bean needs more pants so I chose the Calvin Cargo Pants.

Wear to Where - Coffee Shop

Guys!  I've been waiting what feels like forever to share with you this Wear to Where tour hosted by Wild+Wanderful and Gardening in High Heels!  It is such a fun and original idea and I'm honored to be a part of it.  The idea was to take several places or situations and then have sewing bloggers AND fashion/style bloggers post an outfit they would wear for the occasion.  It's a melding of worlds and so far the tour has been a lot of fun to "watch."

Festive Felties - One Thimble Issue 9

Issue 9 of One Thimble (*affiliate link) is out and packed with loads of goodies!  The theme is vintage circus and the patterns are adorable, but the first thing that caught my eye in this issue was a little Christmasy felt project by Molly and Mama so I grabbed my felt and jumped right in.
