Patterns & More...
A good friend had her first baby late last night. I'm jealous.
There's something magical about that unexpected rush to the hospital and the entrance into parenthood.
We are gearing up for the birth of our second (girl!!), and we are ready!
The difficulty of this pregnancy has been quite a challenge, and my husband and I are hopeful that the transition is not too overwhelming for our first. She's been the center of our world for the past few years, and we are in love with her current stage. I just wish we could bottle up the sweetness and capture these moments and the sweet nothings forever. Being "de-throned" is bound to cause some angst, despite her eagerness for "new baby sister" to arrive. Recently, she's reverted into asking for a pacifier, pretending she wears diapers, and acting all things "baby". Oh my.
If you have suggestions for the new baby transition, we are all ears.
On a different note, I have SEVERAL pattern ideas swirling around in my head, but pregnancy discomfort has put a kink in my production stride. The patterns that are ready to release will be featured first on our website. I'm staggering the official release of a few new patterns in order to buy me some time post baby.
Oh - and then there is that thing called a dissertation that I'm trying to muddle through. Ugh.
Fortunately, I did make a couple infant diaper covers that are so sweet and little. My mom is making the first sister set of smocked dresses to wear home from the hospital, and I keep hoping she'll finish up the pinched pleat curtains I started months ago yet neglected to finish for the nursery. We'll see.
P.S. If you are interested in some sewing related guest blogging, let me know!

Sewing With Purpose
Interested in sewing for a cause?
Let me introduce Laura, mom of Dayna and owner of Mommaloha on Etsy. Laura is well known for her ability to take Little Lizard patterns and transform them into princess couture! She's a sewing genius.
Laura is more than a seamstress; she is a mom with a cause! For years, Laura has been involved in an effort to support the March of Dimes through sewing. She makes hospital bedside organizers and fills them with basic hygiene items for moms of NICU babies. Interested in helping? Bedside organizers are a breeze to make and a perfect project for girls (or adults) learning to sew. Laura will send you a bedside organizer pattern free of charge, if you'll help her effort to support March of Dimes mamas on bed rest.
To read more about Laura's first hand experience with the NICU and the reason she first started giving back to hospitals and the March of Dimes, go here! Email Laura for the instructions/pattern here: danyasgift@gmail.com.

Dresses for Orphans
(Dresses packed and ready to go to Malawi, 2011)This year, Anita is undertaking a second round of sewing for orphans in Africa through her sewing bee. She has already cut 40+ dresses, and Anita's sewing bee plans to assemble the dresses today using our peasant dress pattern. Interested in reading more about Anita's efforts or contributing to the cause?
Click here for the inside scoop, and please pray for the efforts to outfit orphans in Malawi.
P.S. One of the participants in the bee sent us the nicest note.
After using this pattern all day today at Anita's Sewing Bee, I am excited to buy my own copy and get started on making dresses for my own two girls, ages 6 and 8. Anita and I were talking how hard it is to find modest dresses for our girls(and we both shop thrift stores and second hand). This pattern is great, easy to follow(Ive never made dresses, only bags, before today!) THANK YOU for donating the pattern for us to use for the bee. We got a ton of dresses made and they will be a huge blessing to our missionaries/orphans in Africa. Lord Bless.

Bubble Skirt Sewing Pattern
This bubble skirt is one of my favorite things ever!!
It's been on my list of patterns to-do FOREVER, but I couldn't figure out the exact method I wanted to take.
Sewing is like driving. There are many routes that take you to the same destination. 
I finally decided upon a method (no shirring required), and it came together quickly!
I'm proud to present our new Bubble Skirt sewing pattern, ranging in size from 6m-10 + a doll version for 18" dolls.
I didn't plan to market this as a reversible skirt, but one of our amazing photographers thought the underside was too cute not to photograph. It is reversible, and if you decide to wear it from both sides, you'll get double the pleasure!
I think this is a perfect skirt for church!
It's quite a hit in our household, and it looks great with big, bold prints.
Happy sewing!!!
As always, you'll find new patterns in our shop first!
