I’m so pleased to have had another opportunity to test a ModKid* pattern! My prior experiences with both the Leilani Romper/Dress and Wren Dress and Crop Top have been great. I’ve also purchased the Annika Sweater but haven’t had a chance to review it. Back to my latest review of the newly released Spring Break* Shorts. I love them and […]

Skiff Tee is now the Skiff Dress!
I had the pleasure of testing Jennuine’s Skiff Tee pattern (here) which Miss Socialite really likes. So when Jenn was looking sewists to test the Skiff Tee Dress Expansion I just about leaped at the opportunity. The Skiff Dress expansion pack is designed to be used along with the original tee pattern (but can be […]

So of course when Joann started carrying this reversible sequin fabric I knew I had to make something […]

The fall season is definitely upon us and the winter is quickly approaching. During these chilly/cold months I love to feel comfy and warm but I still want to look casual chic.

ModKid Leilani Romper
I had the opportunity to test the Leilani pattern from ModKid thanks to Sewing Portfolios! Isn’t it the cutest? Leilani comes in girls (2T to 8/9) and tween sizes (10-18). As a bonus the tween 14, 16 and 18 equals a women’s XS, S, M. Matching mommy and me or sisters outfits, anyone? Both sizes […]
