Sew 'n Style with Lil Luxe Collection

I can't believe it, I made it through another fun sewing marathon! Once again invited by my friend Melissa over at Rebel & Malice to take part in the Sew'n Style Series featuring patterns designed by Jessica Bustos of Lil Luxe Collection.

I started off with trying to find fabrics within my desired color palette and then this project took on a life of its own. My color theme had surprisingly  changed but the results are beautiful! With Jessica's stylish patterns and my fabric finds I've created a chic  romantic look for my girls. I must admit that a lot of my fabrics were already in my stash and my favorite purchase would be the french terry I purchased to make the Peek-a-Boo Hoodie. I wish I had purchased enough to make one for me.

The color palatte I ended up with. Thank you Sherwin-Williams! 

The goal was to produce a cohesive look using mostly Lil Luxe patterns. Actually all the patterns I used are from the Lil Luxe Collection and these patterns are so fun to work with! So here we go from left to right:

• Peek-a-Boo Hoodie
• Slim Trousers in a denim floral print
• Socialite Peplum 
• Haute Short
• Lakeshore Crop Jacket
• Modern Belle Dress in a pink taffeta
• Rouche & Divide in a knit fabric
• Slim Trousers in black corduroy

I just love the zipper detail at the bottom of the slim trousers. and the pocket of this hoodie!

I made theRouche & Divide top in a soft knit. Amelia put it on and said right away that it felt cozy. The details on this top are the rouched sleeve ad the inverted pleat at the back. So pretty, so sweet!

The cowl neck on this peplum top adds such a cute style to any outfit but pairing the top with the Haute Shorts is cuteness overlaod when put on Amelia.

This classic houndstooth jacket and pink taffeta dress is just perfect for JubeJube. This is her style, this is what she picked out as being her favorite.

After seeing all these pretty outfits you'll want to make you way to Lil Luxe Collection and enter the giveaway with over $350.00 in prizes. Also more in the series to be seen so take a look at the other participants in this adventure!

Children's Pants Pattern #2 a Design by E&M Patterns

The much awaited follow up to the Twirly Skirt (I blogged about it here) by E&M Patterns is right around the corner. Children's Pants Pattern #2 is due to be released by the end of this week! I've been super busy this week testing different patterns so I won't blog about all of them, but this one, I just have to because I just love it so much!

First, E&M Patterns are so easy to follow and also full of details on how to create clothes that are as beautiful on the inside as the outside, and that without the use of a serger, perfect for beginners! Different pocket options are featured in this pattern for the back pockets and cute ruffled details for the front hip pocket (for girls). And yes this pattern has been created with both girls and boys in mind! 

The front waistband lays flat and the back is an elastic waistband.

Want more options on this pattern...It also includes shorts! Which reminds me that the girls NEED a few pairs of these as shorts!

Until next time, xx.

Agathe Slouchy Pants Sneak Peek Designed by Les Filles à Maman

A few short weeks ago a friend helped me dicover a new designer that goes by the name of "Les Filles à Maman". So happy that I got a chance to test her new pattern, the Agathe and Theo Slouchy pants, due to be released on February 26th. Some of you may already know that I'm Canadian from Montreal, Québec and I'm so proud to see Québec designers, like Les Filles à Maman, getting their name and product out there!

So here's just a teaser of JubeJube in her Agathe Slouchy pants...

More on these comfy yet stylish pants in the coming weeks, in the meantime do go visit Les Filles à Maman's Etsy shop for a look at their other patterns.

Until next time, xx

Floral Denim Pants

I just coudn't help but post this one of Amelia in a pair of pants that I made for her. This is not a pattern test its an original creation that I had so much fun making. Amelia is so compliant, she just loves being in front of the camera!  

I simply took a pair of leggings that she already had and loves, but saddly are getting a little too short for her, taced them out and added a seam allowance and some length and there you have it. 

Again with the pockets! Once she found the pockets there was no way I could get her hands out of there just like this jumper.
