Pajama Partay!!!!

OK, they aren't really wearing pajamas, but have you ever heard of a Night Shirt Partay?  Thought so.
So how old are the Wellies?  Somewhere between 8 and 10, I am guessing.  If that is true then I don't think they would really want to wear ruffly baby night gowns or baby footy pjs. These are big girls and a night shirt seemed to be just perfect.  Now have you ever heard a 8 year old tell a joke?  They think jokes akin to "bad dad jokes" are super funny! So each girl has a joke and an image on their night shirts appropriate to their personalities.









These night shirts are easy to make and your Wonderful Wellie is anxious for you to make her one as well.  The pattern consists of 9 pages of illustrated step by step instructions to make your sewing super informative.

Its Summer Time - Let's Go Swimming!!

I got super distracted the other day at the fabric store when I happened upon a most beautiful selection of swimsuit fabric.  Seemed like a good time to make the Wellies some swimming attire.  So I put my flat pattern skills to the test and came up with 5 individual, super cute suits.  Let the Fashion Show begin. Enjoy!!

Willa - the outdoor aficionado is wearing a lovely one piece suit that resembles a black ruffled top over red dotted Lycra bottoms.  A ladybug button finishes the look.

Grandma's washing tub is a great place to cool off.




Kendall -  who can fix or make just about anything including making you smile, is wearing a one piece, two toned swimsuit with a hand button of course - because she is "handy".  Have you seen her apron?  



Emerson - This happy comedian is wearing a gold swimsuit decked with black elastic trim and a black music note.  She sings, she dances and she even tells a good joke.


Camille - is wearing a shimmery sea blue swimsuit made with shimmery fold-over elastic.  Complimenting her outfit is a detachable blue shimmery skirt.  The shell button completes the look.





Ashlyn - is resplendent wearing a princess button atop her pink sparkly swimsuit.  Her stripped skirt matches both the top and bottom of her suit just like perfect princess should.


Have you ever sewn on Lycra?  I am going to share with you some amazing tips on sewing on swimsuit fabric, the right machine needle to use, the type of stabilizer, when to trim elastic edges, how to turn tubes of fabric quickly, Wash Away Tape and why it is important and the best glue to use with fabrics.  All of this information is available in this free download:



The detailed instructions for each of these darling swimsuits are available to you below.  After you pay, you will get an immediate downloadable link for the pdf pattern.
