NEW Sisboom pattern in town - and it is FREE



We are sooooo thankful for all our wonderful customers and readers that this is our holiday gift to YOU! and we would LOVE to see what you make so please tag us or hashtag us #ssholiday !


I used my reindeers in a couple projects! The scrappy one got made into an outdoor wreath! 


The solid ones I turned into a garland (the Dolls and Daydreams Tiny Tot pattern is with them) 


I love a festive feel in the house!

Where to Wear! Brunch Date Edition!





I just love the idea of WHERE to WEAR! The whole series is a mix of sewing AND fashion bloggers so we can get wardrobe inspired!! AND there is a giveaway!!!! So keep reading!

____________________________________________________________


When I think of a brunch date with the my girl friends, I want to look cute, but casual and I forsure want to be comfortable! I also don't want to freeze on the walk over! 


For this look I used the Sisboom Angie hack I did for Topstitchers 2 'seasons' ago and paired it with a new Madge mini with lace overlay (Madge is not out yet... Don't ask when - I don't know...)


A cute fast lace overlay mini shift with the red coat and a pair of tights and some wedges makes for a perfect brunch pairing! Comfy, cute, and totally ready for a fancy drink and some waffles!


Of course, I wished I lived somewhere warm enough to wear a cute dress to brunch these days .... 


My original styling also works for a brunch date though!
