I love the Round Neck pattern from That*Darn*Kat . It comes with sizes 2T to 7 and 16 pages of over 50 photographs. The templates for the pattern were made in a smart way so you do not have to tape 8.5"X 11" sheets of paper together. If I have two half yards in my house they are in danger of becoming more Round Neck Tops for my daughters. My daughters love them!!!! I get asked all of the time what are e-book patterns?? Why do you like them so much?? Well, e-book patterns are wonderful!! They are patterns with photos of the project so you can clearly see what to do in each step. The templates of the pattern can be printed, using your on printer and computer when ever you like and you can even print it on card stock if you know that you will be making a lot of them, so cutting the pattern with your rotary cutter is easier. You can organize them easier by just creating a folder for your e-book patterns on your desktop. If you have not tried an e-book pattern try one!!! You will

I recently bought the Leila and Ben Sweet Little Dress PDF pattern! You can find it in their Etsy store or at YouCanMakeThis.com . Right away I made two, one for each of my girls. Emily my oldest even wore hers to school! I wanted to make more but change things around a little so they could have more Sweet Little Dresses but in different styles, fabrics and shapes. Here is what I came up with:)Personally, I had never shirred before and really wanted to learn! I found two wonderful sites, House on Hill Road and Portabellopixie , to help me through this new jouney. First, I gathered everything I needed. Fabric (an old crib sheet), Leila and Ben Sweet Little Dress Pattern, elastic, elastic thread, normal thread, rotary cutter and sewing supplies. Then I cut out the pattern and followed the first 3 steps of the Sweet Little Dress pattern. After step 3 of the pattern I started with the shirring process. You hand wind the bo

Ladybug backpack withside zipper Originally uploaded by Sew Spoiled This is an idea that I have had for a while running in the back of my mind. Finally I drew it out and made one. I love it!! The side zipper is wonderful for get things in and out of my backpack quickly. There is also a back zipper pocket and two interior slip pockets. I hope to write the pattern soon and have two sizes, large and small. My daughter immediately wanted one when she saw this bag but I think she would need it to be smaller since she is only 5. I am also going to add a cute zipper pull tutorial to go along with this backpack!! So start to watch the shop for this new pattern available soon!
