My First Sew Beautiful Story- A Giveaway!

Look! Do you see my name?

That is my name right next to 

 Janet Gilbert's name!

 Yes, much screaming and jumping up and down

was done by me when I saw it!

You see Sew Beautiful

is my very favorite magazine.

I have learned so very much of sewing,

smocking, 

embroidery,

construction,

design,

and inspiration 

from this magazine

and it's writers.

Janet Gilbert is my favorite!

(Yes, she knows that I was a stalker fan before

we finally "met" and now we are friends!)

And look!

Our story is even a "cover story"!

So Janet and I worked on this article together.

It features 3 of my skirts

and 3 of Janet's skirts.

One of the skirts is my 

Monkey Girl Bloomer Skirt pattern.

You can buy the pattern here from my blog,

or "You Can Make This.com"

Or from my Etsy store

Sivjegoose

Or from Fairytale Frocks And Lollipops

The corduroy A-line skirt with zipper trim

is featured in the article as a free pattern!

My photos are awful but the photos in the magazine are 

much better!

And the free tutorial for my "Math Skirt"

pattern are featured on the 

Sew Beautiful Blog!

There are many, many more

wonderful articles,

Bloomer Skirt for Carissa

Every girl needs a Bloomer Skirt for back to school!

This one was a custom for a 

darling little China sister named Carissa.

Here mama remembered 

that I had made a Bloomer Skirt

for Ahnalin with Tanya Whelan's "Darla" fabric

and requested one for her girly.

I appliqued this little rose onto the gingham print.

Attached bloomers in the gingham print

for proper coverage while

jumping rope and hanging from Monkey Bars.

If your little girl needs a Bloomer Skirt,

I would love to create one for her.

Or, you can make one yourself using

my "Monkey Girl Bloomer Skirt" e-pattern.

Just click on the links to the upper left

of the blog,

either my Etsy store, 

or the "Add to cart" button.

You can also purchase the pattern from

You Can Make This .Com

and

 

Fairytale Frocks And Lollipops

Please email me if you are interested

in me creating a custom Bloomer Skirt 

for the darling girl in your life.

And now, Ahnalin and India and I 

are off for an afternoon of pottery painting.

Ahnalin starts second grade tomorrow 

and we must enjoy our last day of 

Summer together having

creative fun together.

Happy Sewing!
