PATTERN REVIEW: THE RAIN DROP TEE

I am very happy to have been a part of the testing team for the Raindrop Tee. It is a fun and quite easy sew. The pattern is straight forward, easy to understand and comes in both long and short sleeves.
I chose to use two colours because I did not have one piece big enough to make the shirt. Unfortunately the purple looks like navy in the picture, but I loved how it turned out.

PATTERN REVIEW : LOLLIPOP SWIRL SKIRT BY MY TREASURED HEIRLOOMS

I had the pleasure of testing the Lollipop Swirl Skirt  by My Treasured Heirlooms. This was actually my very first pattern tester call and I loved it!
The skirt is very easy to sew and has three different types of waist closures, making it very versatile and easy for both the beginner and the advanced sewist. I am an intermediate sewist and completed it in two hours - between 10 - 12p:m so you know I was really half asleep , right?
What I love about it is that it is a great stash buster ! You can use coordinating  scraps for each swirl and still end up with a great skirt.

You  should really give it a try!

PATTERN REVIEW: SANDPIT ROMPER by RABBIT RABBIT CREATIONS

I had the privilege of testing the Sandpit Romper by Rabbit Rabbit Creations .

This pattern  will really add some versatility to your child's wardrobe.

• What makes it really great is that it is a unisex pattern (instant money saving coupon for those of you with both a boy and a girl) . 

•  It allows you to utilize your scraps for pockets and other little ruffles and bows etc.

• For new sewists, it is REALLY  easy to put together so  don't be intimidated by  the look. 

• Also, there is plenty of room to add your own creativity (note, the bow - is not a part of the pattern and there are pockets for the back too which are optional) .
• It can be a layered piece (something I dont need because we live in the Caribbean - smile)

 The pattern goes up to size 5 and my model is wearing the size 3 (she is actually 4 years old - but skinny).

 I can vouch that my fellow testers did a more amazing job than me with fabric choices! So check out their posts for great ideas!

The pattern will be released  tomorrow (August 4 2014),
