Okay, this wasn't my best work. I drafted the pattern and then didn't have quite enough fabric to make a circle skirt. Riley had just had surgery on her arm and the muslin ended up being to large between the time I made it and then cut the skirt. Not quite a wadder, but close.

Jalie 3243 Pull on Pants
Maria is in the middle of a growth spurt and needed some new pants. I tried the Jalie 3243 Pull on Pants pattern and fell in love with it. I tried a pair in flannel first and they fit amazing. They also have good pockets! So then I made 4 in stretch denim with some embroidery on the left lower leg. This looks like it will become another TNT.

Love, Love, Love the Washington Dress
Here are 2 of my very favorite dress pattern. I've made 4 more but don't have photos yet. This is the Washington Dress by Cashmerette Patterns. This is a super easy and fun pattern. Wow on the fit!
Smocked 1st Communion Dress
This is a dress I made a few years ago and didn't post. It is one from Australian Smocking and Embroidery, I don't remember the pattern. Amalia with 3 of her siblings.
Shirt Making Month - November 2016
I've fallen in love with the Curvy Sewing Collective. Tailored shirts with jeans and a vest are my absolute favorite outfit, very Pacific Northwest. It was a cinch to participate in the Shirt Making Month.
I went with a new pattern from Cashmerette Patterns the Harrison Shirt. I fell in love with her Washington Dress and made 6 of them. The Harrison Shirt pattern is as awesome as the Washington Dress patter. I'm already planning the next few shirts that I'm just going to have to make. Here is my wearable muslin, that fits better than any other shirt I own. A few tweaks and it will be perfect. I plan on making a forwards sleeve adjustment and tweaking the sleeve itself. Forgive the missing buttons on the bottom I was so excited to get this up that I didn't want to run to the store to pick up another card.

Sure Fit Pants for Riley
Here is a self draft of pants using the Sure Fit Designs pattern system. Riley is almost 6 foot tall and wanted a trouser style pants. They turned out okay, but I think they need a few tweaks for the next pair. I think I made the legs to narrow and that made them fall funny.
