Hi! I am so excited to be a part of RaeAnna's Bumblebee Dress tour! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuf02d0uR9uDjradJ3CXAWNIc1evSjHL7HHTtSAeBbCNWdXCVB8T7vFJ_7PNotQY2y4l0V1IqOzVM9Q2RHFgMAJysh93b26Ym0YRjqSDVafljcewCa-voGTS1S1xEyePnnZRLPY6A7u0g-/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuf02d0uR9uDjradJ3CXAWNIc1evSjHL7HHTtSAeBbCNWdXCVB8T7vFJ_7PNotQY2y4l0V1IqOzVM9Q2RHFgMAJysh93b26Ym0YRjqSDVafljcewCa-voGTS1S1xEyePnnZRLPY6A7u0g-/s640/13.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When RaeAnna first contacted me I said yes without a hesitation. I mean, have you seen all the cute dresses and tops popping up from this pattern? Then I started looking at my fabric stash......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh dear....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can say without a doubt that although I love the fall, I am much more drawn to the bold and crazy colors and prints of Spring and Summer. I have a total of 2 fall-ish prints in my stash.....and neither of them were going to do this dress justice! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I took a trip to my mums house during the kids school break and met up with my <a href="http://gingerdimples.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">super awesome sewing friend</a> and we just HAD to do some fabric shopping. I was lucky enough to snag some of this very popular fox fabric. I also picked up some dark pink corduroy that matched the leaves in the fox fabric perfectly. I think it brings such a girly touch to it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qs8j4xwtMkVKJ9rmsXT9Ei-r-99JyA2UM_cRKxE8VV1H3XXWZuW5oGFdMczRqYgx41ilU-qC9CPMawPpSjFFqFkhsObk05sToIq26gKrJwdQ2QFV5ybUfKGwOqD1gCqMZrD1gdxEb7ub/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qs8j4xwtMkVKJ9rmsXT9Ei-r-99JyA2UM_cRKxE8VV1H3XXWZuW5oGFdMczRqYgx41ilU-qC9CPMawPpSjFFqFkhsObk05sToIq26gKrJwdQ2QFV5ybUfKGwOqD1gCqMZrD1gdxEb7ub/s640/4.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next issue was deciding which daughter to make this for. Aevarie (being the oldest girl and biggest) generally gets all the girly sewn goods, but I still want to make a few things for the other 2 girls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally decided to make it for Zoe, my middle child, since I love this print and wanted it to get a ton of love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I deviated from the pattern a bit and omitted the ruffles for piping and sleeve cuffs. I also made a thin tie to cinch the waist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the size 6 so that Zoe could get even more wear out of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, that actually wasn't done on purpose. I'm so used to tracing the biggest size that I wasn't thinking and traced size 6.....but it really worked out for me! </div>

Zoe was pretty cold during the photoshoot (the weather has definitely turned!), so I let her put her coat on here and there to warm up.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was so much more cooperative when she was warm! lol</div>

The two on Aevarie (the blondie) were graded up to a size 8 or 9 (...we'll just say "Aevaries size"), by me. I LOVE this pattern and all the options it has and Aevarie HAD to get one.You can read all about my love in the <a href="http://linzigenavieve.blogspot.com/2013/10/sew-fab-bundle.html" target="_blank">last post</a> and I am debating drafting one in my size cause it's just plain awesome. </div>

The pink is the <a href="http://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/product/downton-duffle-coat" target="_blank">Downton Duffle</a> by <a href="http://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/" target="_blank">Peekaboo Patterns</a>. It's a size 8 and is supposed to be a much more fitted coat, but I love how it looks on my little miss Zoe (she's in size 5/6 for reference) and she loves it so much, I don't have the heart to part her from it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The red and gray Plaid is the <a href="http://shwindesigns.bigcartel.com/product/the-desmond-jacket" target="_blank">Desmond coat</a> by <a href="http://shwindesigns.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Shwin Designs</a> which is being updated to size 10. I made the size 10 for Aevarie cause she's in between sizing. I love how easily this coat came together and I love the little details of the back and arm cuffs! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last one is the <a href="http://shwindesigns.bigcartel.com/product/jude-jacket-pattern" target="_blank">Jude coat</a> for Mr. Jude. That coat is also by <a href="http://shwindesigns.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Shwin</a> and being updated. Sizing is going to go up to size 8 and there are a couple of tweaks in the pattern. </div>

It's an extremely versatile pattern, wovens are called for but it's also doable in knit. These aren't the only 3 you'll find in our wardrobe either, but I'm saving that for another day. ;)</div>

I also got to meet up with one of my best sewing buddies this month. Her kids are darling and it was so good to finally get to meet! I'm really wishing she lived closer, but I can say that I am massively grateful for internet and cell phones to still keep us close. You should check out her blog, <a href="http://gingerdimples.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ginger Dimples</a>. Crystal is a hoot and she has mad mad sewing skills (...and is a ton better then I am at blogging!)! </div>

When I first saw the Sew Fab Bundle I quickly scanned through the patterns and counted the ones I already owned. Then I went through and thought about the ones I wanted, and did the whole "should I, should I not??" Then what did I do? I sat on it for a few days. This is what we call, "wasted sewing time". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was I thinking?? Why was I hesitating? I have no idea. But hesitate I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZr0zVjsfqiviJXS57pBW7nIrdNrD4QGTETozaOjGJMPOh38rZraxiasvKPkip7gLxsWl1qW9YwIAaoKpFxkPhsjaf00dz8M59aoli62-nv86oSgAw_syiEi7WEKxz3Pgpq-h_yBPomT7/s1600/Sew-Fab-F13-Collage-600x539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZr0zVjsfqiviJXS57pBW7nIrdNrD4QGTETozaOjGJMPOh38rZraxiasvKPkip7gLxsWl1qW9YwIAaoKpFxkPhsjaf00dz8M59aoli62-nv86oSgAw_syiEi7WEKxz3Pgpq-h_yBPomT7/s400/Sew-Fab-F13-Collage-600x539.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then somehow the thought hit me of going through and adding up how much it would cost me to get all the other patterns I wanted individually.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost $70! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So even with me owning 5 of the patterns in the bundle already, I was still saving a TON, and even then, that was only counting the ones that were in my shopping cart already, waiting to be purchased, not the other awesome patterns I'd be getting along with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I bought it immediately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And well, I had to make up for lost time, so last night I printed out a few patterns, traced, cut out and sewed. </div>

All of my kids are getting one of these outfits. <a href="http://www.titchythreads.com/patterns/fancy_pants_leggings" target="_blank">The fancy pants</a> goes to size 10, so beyond having to add a little length to them for my oldest, I am good to go with all my kids. </div>

See, it only goes to size 6 and two of my children are bigger then that. So, here's a shout out to <a href="http://emmyloubeedoo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sarah</a> (more like a begging plea) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (with massive amounts of sugar on top) make this sweater in bigger sizing! Like all the way to mummy sizing while we're at it......</div>

<b>The Blazer is the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/128185341/drewb-blazer-pdf-pattern-and-tutorial?ref=shop_home_feat" target="_blank">Drew Blazer</a> from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaliFayeCollection?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Cali Faye Patterns</a>. It was extremely fast and easy to sew up. I did add welt pockets. One on each side, since it's reversible. I used the same fabric for both sides and I made it in a very bright blue. It will match a lot of his clothes! </b></div>

<b>As for the pants. I am in love with this fabric. I made Jude a pair of <a href="http://linzigenavieve.blogspot.com/2013/03/sew-in-tune-birds-and-boats.html" target="_blank">skinny jeans</a> out of it last year and well, he's probably going to get a pair every year (or every other year since I don't have too much left!) until I'm out of it. I also have a confession with these pants. I was going to make up a pair of black Chillax pants for him, cause I just can't get enough of those, but then I saw <a href="http://diorella-n.blogspot.com/2013/10/baby-button-up-shirt-and-pants.html" target="_blank">Diorella's entry</a> on the link up and I couldn't resist trying her pattern out with this fabric! She graded the pattern to have 3 sizes (3m, 6m, and 12m) as well as an adorable little button up shirt in the same sizes. I did add half an inch to the legs, since Jude is 15 months old and more on the lanky side. If you can't tell, I'm in love with these little pants, so go check out her <a href="http://diorella-n.blogspot.com/2013/10/baby-button-up-shirt-and-pants.html" target="_blank">pattern</a>!</b></div>

I am running really last minute here. I had originally planned to make this outfit while I was at the Sewing Summit, but umm.....Sewing Summit was way too awesome and I was sidetracked by a million things, so it didn't happen. Then when I got home I had 3 pattern tests that I needed to get done, so this outfit kept getting pushed back and pushed back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday I had declared that I was just going to skip it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Wednesday night came and I had an awesome friend tell me to get with the program and get my outfit finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my Hipster Plaid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(And yes, I finished this at 1am this morning. lol)</div>

The Sweater is the David Shirt from <a href="http://www.ottobredesign.com/lehdet_js/2013_4/index.html?fi" target="_blank">Ottobre 4/2013</a>. I omitted all of the pockets on it. I used strips of knit to kind of be a enlarged mirror image of the plaid in the shirt on the front and just topstitched it together. It's not all across the shirt to give it a more hipster/edgy look.</div>

The pants are the Chillax pants from <a href="http://www.ottobredesign.com/lehdet_js/2013_1/index.html?fi" target="_blank">Ottobre 1/2013</a>. I LOVE these pants. I am dead serious when I say that I am drafting up a pair of these for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I changed is using the plaid instead of knit for the pockets (gave it that pop of plaid) and then I added cuffs at the bottom. I wanted them to be a bit longer so that they will last all winter and the cuffs were a perfect solution.</div>

This shirt was a really last minute decision. I had planned to make the sweater have a hood, but then realized I didn't have enough knit for that, so a collared shirt was just what it needed to finish off the look.</div>

A while ago (June to be exact) I got the opportunity to pattern test this really REALLY adorable shirt for <a href="http://compagnie-m.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Compagnie M</a>. If you haven't been to her blog, you should go. She has some really fun <a href="http://compagnie-m.blogspot.com/p/free-pattern.html" target="_blank">free patterns</a> and her stuff is just gorgeous! Today, I am really excited to be able to share Compagnie M.'s first pattern, the Mara Blouse, which will be available October 1st. You also have the chance to win the pattern, so keep reading!</div>

What is there not to love about this shirt?? It is darling. I love the front and the little flutter sleeves. BUT this pattern doesn't stop there and gives you different sleeve options and a dress length! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It comes in sizes 12M to 10 Years (amazing range!) </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You also have the option of butterfly, flutter, long sleeves or sleeveless. The flutter sleeve & long sleeve can also be combined for a cute little twist. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Two tutorials to easily adjust the blouse to a basic A-line dress or a gathered skirt dress. Detailed drawings will guide you through this process.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I just made the shirt with flutter sleeves, but I really can't wait to make more. </span></span></div>

I am so excited to be a part of <a href="http://doguincho.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Marta From Do Guincho's</a> first pattern tour!<br />
<br />
These <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/162927105/bubble-shorts-by-doguincho?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Bubble shorts</a> are really cute and a pretty quick sew. I even learned something new from her tutorial!<br />
They come in sizes 2-8 which is always great!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, I have to warn you. My girls are usually really laid back with letting me choose what they wear, but there are days that they get very opinionated and have to have things their way.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that of course had to be that way with these shorts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aevarie INSISTED that this was the perfect shirt, necklace, socks and shoes to wear with these shorts. And no amount of begging, pleading and down right bribing changed her mind. </div>

So it's "Candy" week over at <a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/" target="_blank">Project Run and Play</a>. I had quite a few different ideas. All in very very different directions. This is what I ended up with:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now, I dyed, painted and flipped the fizzle pops out of this outfit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started off with a white knit sheet. I dyed it orange and got this super cool tie dye look going, which to me looks kind of like pulled taffy.</div>

I used the <a href="http://seekatesew.bigcartel.com/product/recess-raglan-pdf-pattern-18m-to-8" target="_blank">Recess Raglan</a> pattern, but wanted to add something to it. So, I traced out an apothecary jar (like one of the ones from the fabric lining her hood) onto some freezer paper, ironed that "sucker" on and painted candy in it. </div>

Then once I got the arms sewn onto the back and front, realized that the size I cut out was HUGE on Aevarie. So we went with it. I added a band to the bottom, made some really long cuffs and added a hood. I also added pockets AFTER the fact. Too much candy on the brain. lol</div>

After I made<a href="http://linzigenavieve.blogspot.com/2013/09/pr-week-1-oliver-s-popover-dress-flip.html" target="_blank"> Jude's Jacket</a>, I started thinking that with a little more adjustment, the pattern I made would make a great raglan tee or dress. Since I hadn't made a girl flip for this week, I figured I could make Paisley or Zoe (since they are both almost the same size) a little knit dress for school.<br />
Now, this is more of a 180 on the flip, where Judes Jacket was a total 360, but I love having great pieces that are really versatile and get worn a lot!<br />

I kept the strap at the top in honor of the O+S Popover and I think it brings some interest to the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put the sleeves on too. Especially since you can now feel that Autumn chill in the air.</div>

The knit has little pink roses all over it, so we used that color knit for the strap, pockets and neck binding for some contrast.</div>

We're not really a "shoe" family. I mean, my kids love shoes, but when it gets down to it, they're really more like shoe hoarders then actual shoe wearers. So obviously both girls didn't wear shoes when taking pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paisley loved the pockets and this child is a ham when taking pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The older girls have their "camera pose" all mastered, but Paisley.....she's herself. Which makes me happy! </div>

I've been meaning to participate in the "<a href="http://francessuzanne.blogspot.com/2013/09/september-flip-this-pattern-sew-along.html" target="_blank">Flip this pattern</a>" series every month. And guess what? Things get busy and I don't. lol </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't actually planning on joining in this month either. So much is going on, but when I went to check out what pattern was chosen for this months "surprise" pattern, my mind went off on it's own thinking of ways to flip any of the patterns in the Alphabet collection. I was lucky enough to test 2 of them (<a href="http://linzigenavieve.blogspot.com/2013/07/pattern-anthology-alphabet-collection.html" target="_blank">The Study Hall Jacket and the W Pants</a>) and I just made the BBC vest for Aevarie (that will be shown in a future post), so I already had a feel for them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put it aside though and focused more on everything else I was doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then a few nights ago an idea formed and I just couldn't help but make this sweet flip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a pretty basic flip. I just cut out the BBC vest pattern like you were going to add the peplum and added a skirt to it instead. I did trim the collar piece a bit so I could have the button closure go higher. I also added the button placket on the front too so it would be easy to get on and off. And you are going to want to size down with this dress. I made the size 3 for my daughter Paisley originally, but it has a much better fit on Zoe who is a size bigger. </div>

I could have gone all super fancy. I thought of adding pockets to the front, or rainbow embroidery on the bottom, but this dress screamed "Simple and Chic" so I left is as is. </div>

Season 7 at <a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/" target="_blank">Project Run and Play</a> is just starting and I've decided to do just as many boy entries as girl entries this time around. When I saw that the flip was a dress pattern, well....lets just say ideas weren't very forthcoming. I didn't find it surprising. I mean, so far all the flips I've seen have been dresses. This one was just, stumping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was wracking my brain for anything, I decided to make a list of my goals for this season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1- To really push myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2- To use my stash and buy NOTHING</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3- To sew needs and practical items that will be used a ton this winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was with that 3rd goal that an idea finally came to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fall is, well, here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Jude has zero things for it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I share, lets take a look at the original <a href="http://oliverands.com/free-patterns/popover-sundress/" target="_blank">Oliver & S Popover Dress</a>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2s_QI8lM3YrtQ2qNu60maZwEDGDU5G2GR8EE8QuCa7efYF21Hu6OQ0TwSEqfH4a95A0sAs5WoXNO4Y5OhBaOZVWqGCbNnCdj0n39N-VHS-q0_A7i_OeoPgD_clPm2Yb0iFLXsgdo4YfTc/s1600/Popover1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2s_QI8lM3YrtQ2qNu60maZwEDGDU5G2GR8EE8QuCa7efYF21Hu6OQ0TwSEqfH4a95A0sAs5WoXNO4Y5OhBaOZVWqGCbNnCdj0n39N-VHS-q0_A7i_OeoPgD_clPm2Yb0iFLXsgdo4YfTc/s640/Popover1.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is what I finally came up with:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The Popover Jacket</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9fHmwqq1pQOP8VuwME46H2gmbwC_eST2Vg2bkOESH1ZaIiHiu_cZjYdxqTFzccjyV6Q3JfAwNmxC3ZyZtD2a6YqvKkVlNYAkntptkorxLPC4_jEdp9yN1VuGvgZ_ZOV5UWaqAph7giEa/s1600/big+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9fHmwqq1pQOP8VuwME46H2gmbwC_eST2Vg2bkOESH1ZaIiHiu_cZjYdxqTFzccjyV6Q3JfAwNmxC3ZyZtD2a6YqvKkVlNYAkntptkorxLPC4_jEdp9yN1VuGvgZ_ZOV5UWaqAph7giEa/s400/big+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't let the name fool you. It doesn't actually pop over his head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously there are some massive changes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with the bodice outline, then I added a piece at the top so the jacket would go all the way up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I split the front on the side and added an inch to each new side so it would overlap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also just had it go strait down rather then flare out. Boys don't do the flare look very well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the last very obvious change, adding sleeves and a collar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made it in a size 2T. It's a little big on Jude, but this kiddo is growing fast and winter isn't fully on us quite yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you wanting more details??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's a zipper pocket on one sleeve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welt pockets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made it to be reversible, but then when I went to find buttons, I only had 5 that would match and buying more went against goal number 2.....something I can still add in the future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We placed a zip pocket on the inside chest too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While taking pics of Jude, Paisley kept coming up and being in the pictures, so I had her try it on. She's a massive skinny mini, and besides the sleeve length, it totally worked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The moustache fabric is the same I used for <a href="http://linzigenavieve.blogspot.com/2012/12/pattern-testing.html" target="_blank">Judes coat last year</a>. What can I say? I love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other is an extremely soft brown corduroy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The jacket is also quilted, so it will keep him nice and warm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While I wait for Project Run and Play to start up again, I figured I could post some pictures of our week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoe and Paisley started preschool, which made them both happy! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One is definitely old enough to be given chores, right?? He's a pro, by the way! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can't wait to start showing everything else I've been working on! This will actually be a really busy month. Not only will I be posting all my PR&P creations, but you will also get to see me doing some selfish sewing!! (Goddess Sewing sounds SOOO much better though!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had the pleasure of testing the <a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/p/patterns-and-tutorials.html" target="_blank">Hanami pattern</a> from <a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/" target="_blank">Straight Grain</a>. I was so excited when I saw the email saying I had be chosen as a tester!<br />
<br />
A great thing about this pattern is that it has LOTS of options.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Cross-over back<br />
Hidden zipper back<br />
Peter pan collar (not doable with the cross-over)<br />
No collar<br />
Flutter sleeves<br />
Tulip sleeves<br />
Top with flounce<br />
Dress<br />
<br />
It was so hard to choose what to do!<br />
<br />
I went with the peter pan collar, so that nixed out the cross-over back (PHEW - that choice was made!). Then I chose to do flutter sleeves and to make it a top.<br />
<br />
The next hard part. What fabrics to choose!! All of An's outfits are so darling. I didn't want to ruin this top with a horrible fabric selection.<br />
<br />
In the end I went with Cruzin by Henry Glass and then a red fabric for that 'POP'.<br />

We went out to the lake to meet up with family and even though I had grabbed some shots at the beginning of our day, we didn't get many good ones. So I figured we could grab some more after she went out on a paddle boat.....<br />
<br />
This is the attitude we got after the paddle boat ride.....<br />

Another great thing about the Hanami is that it goes to size 10! I did a little happy dance when I found that out. My oldest girly is in a size 8 and is at the the last sizing for most patterns. I'm so excited that I have a couple more years to use this pattern!<br />

This year has been so incredibly different then most. Most years, my kids are dying to go back to school by about 3 weeks into summer vacation, and I start getting antsy by the 9th week. This year, school REALLY snuck up on us though. I realized last night that school starts this Monday and we haven't prepared at all! Grandma DID buy them some pencil cases, but beyond that......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I took the kids up to do some school shopping. My number 1 place to go is always Old Navy. My husband helped me get the kids ready, we dropped my husband off at work, and I headed up with all the kids. I was in such a hurry (we had to get my husband back to work) that I didn't really pay any attention to what exactly my husband dressed the little girls in......Lets just say my usually very put together little girls were replaced by street urchins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley was the worst in all pink (and all pink does NOT match), her shirt was dirty, there was a hole in her leggings by her bum, and her shoes were incredibly mismatched. At least there was one left shoe and one right shoe. Obviously I HAD to get those poor little kids a decent outfit from the clearance rack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We walked around the store for ages. First to the bathroom, and I was very proud of my girls getting that job done quickly and efficiently. There was quite a line that formed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we went to the backpack section. After all chose backpacks we walked over to the girls section to get Aevarie some shoes. Of course she was interested in the ones I thought were the most ugly, and I wont lie, I was beyond thrilled that they didn't have any in her size. Of course the little girls were taking their shoes off to try on shoes as well. Then after finding a pair she liked and that fit, we went over to the boys side to find Gavin some shoes. We found 1 pair in his size! I was so thankful that they had ones he liked! Too, he's in a size 5 now! When on earth did THAT happen?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoe and Paisley were still playing with their shoes, not putting them on. And if we had had a cart and I wasn't holding Jude, I would have just put them back on myself, but I didn't have THAT patience. I told them to grab their shoes and we were now going to fix the "street urchin" children problem. We found both girls a shirt and a pair of shorts each and we got them new shoes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We head up to the cash register and after paying for everything, I realize Paisleys mismatched shoes were NOT in the cart. I send Gavin to go take a quick look, and he couldn't find them, so then we all head back to into the store, retracing our steps. We ask employees. I'm asking Paisley if she remembered where she left them, which she is 3 and just pouted. I COULD have left and just hoped someone would find them, but one of them was from my absolutely favorite pair of shoes of theirs, AND it's over an hour drive from our house. I was NOT leaving that store without those shoes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After spending about 30 minutes looking, I finally find them on a shelf in a pile of shirts. PHEW! I know they're shoes, but one of them was my favorite!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also loved all the glares I was receiving as I was herding my hoard of children around, asking my 3 year old over and over if she left them over here? What about over there?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally we were able to leave the store!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe God knew I needed it, but as we walked out the front door a lady passing by saw me with all of my children and said, "You are awesome! Look at you go with all those kids!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can say that we are now ready for school!!! </div>

School is in plain sight and with everyone getting things ready, new clothes being bought (or in my case made). Choosing out backpacks and pencil cases, I would like to take a minute and discuss something that has been getting a lot of highlights but still not discussed enough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bullying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you think of bullying, you usually think of a giant kid stuffing a much smaller and nerdy kids head into a toilet. Sad to say that my son has had this happen to him. I can also go into personal experience and recite girls throwing rocks at me, kids calling me names, girls undoing my bra in the hallways at school....some people have it worse then others, but we ALL sadly, deal with bullying at many points in our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've become aware of it. There's been discussions. But something happened today that made me really wonder if the message has gotten through to US? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first joined the "Blogger world" I was amazed. These women are amazing. Sharing their experiences and crafty knowledge eagerly to anyone and everyone. Bringing each other up and helping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the more I've gotten into it, I've started to see politics. There's a circle, clique, sewing country club, if you will, to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then today I saw it. Bullying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to admit. I am still pretty outraged about it. It was uncalled for and childish. We are supposed to be here pulling each other up. Not tearing each other down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That also made me wonder. How do we expect our children to not bully others or to handle bullying, when we ourselves do it? Have we forgotten the old motto, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Do I need to bring out the Bambi?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not making this post to call out or chastise. More to enlighten or hopefully make people more aware that we are all human. We have amazing talents and I know we all want to share our talents. We have no need to tear each other down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too, good luck for school! I just found out that my 1st grader is going to probably be getting more homework then my 5th grader. Not going to lie.....I'm petrified! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy School Days people!!</div>

It's that time again with Project Run & Play starting a new season! This was the very reason I actually started writing a blog. The biggest problem I keep coming up with is what project do I submit?? If you read my last post, you would see I have no shortage of items to choose from. But, I wanted it to be different. Showing off a bit more of my talent.<br />
<br />
Then it hit me. For the last few months I have been drafting my own pattern. Slacking at times and needing my awesome sewing posse to kick my butt into gear, and it is nearly completed. I hope....<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, I introduce to you:<br />
<br />

The Saffron Twirl Dress.<br />
<br />
Why did I name it Saffron? Well, Saffron is my little sisters name, who just so happens to share a birthday with me. And no, we are no where close to being twins! It is also what my blog name means in Swahili. Yeah, you better believe I just googled that to make sure!<br />
<br />
Here's a whole bunch more pics to show off this dress.<br />

I can't believe how quickly this summer went by. It's been a really weird summer. The weather has been weird. Life has been weird. It's just been a very different summer. Granted, we still have 18 days before school starts and summer officially ends for us. I was going back through all the pictures of our summer and cannot believe how much sewing I have accomplished! This is the majority of my summer projects. And, like I said, I still have 18 days left. Who knows what else I can accomplish in that time.<br />
<br />
But, just so you guys know, I've not been idle this summer. My blog has been suffering, but I have been a busy busy bee!<br />

Quite a while ago I got chosen to pattern test for Melly over at <a href="http://mellysews.com/" target="_blank">Melly Sews</a>. Do you know how hard it is to keep your lips sealed when you have a super cute adorable pattern all finished?? It is torture my friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern is the W pants for <a href="http://patternanthology.com/" target="_blank">Pattern Anthology</a>. I was chosen to test the short version in Jude's size.</div>

I LOVE this jacket! Aevarie and Jude are for sure getting ones made. I may just make the other 2 kids one as well, it's so cute! So what if they have a billion clothes already! </div>

And well, Zoe needed a pair of W pants to go with her stellar jacket, so we went to work on those!<br />

So, it's my birthday. The big 3-0. I really can't complain, cause the majority of the kids I grew up with, as well as most of my friends are already 30. I've been pondering how I would feel. Does it feel different? Do you suddenly get an overwhelming urge to stop all idiocy and be a decent adult when that clock strikes 12am? I'm going with, nope. I still feel stupid and silly, and not 30. Although, with 5 kids I've been feeling it for the last few years. Probably have looked it too. lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have to give a shout out to my baby sister who turns 18 today. Yep. we are cool and awesome and were born 12 years apart. So we are both Cancers and both Boars. Oink. Or Snort? I guess, I have graduated to the "snort". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll post pics later of our birthday bash, but Happy birthday to me and my sis!<br />
