TuTu Cute!!! Ballet with Jalie

August 30, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

All right - I will confess, I didn't plan on participating in dance week. I set it up and gathered patterns for our amazing team and watched them share inspiration and start to sew. I felt a bit wistful, but I didn't really have the need. And then it happened.....I bit the bullet and signed Mack and Bex up for Ballet 1 - EEEEEEEKKKKKKK. Suddenly I needed dance wear, and fast! Luckily for me, one of our team members needed to pull out of her slot and I snatched it up - I need the motivation of post deadlines to get things done in a timely matter - anyone else???? So here is my version of the Jalie Princess Seam Leotard with Tutu skirt.

Dance Dance Revolution: Ballet for Boys and Girls

August 25, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

If you are just catching up with us, this week we are focusing on dance and gymnastics wear. Great Patterns, fabric tips, and of course adorable dancers. My kiddos are going to start a ballet class this fall - yep, both Mack and Bex - so I loved when Rachel said that she was going to sew for both her daughter and SON in today's post. C'mon, we need great male dancers!!!!! Rachel has lots of great tips for you about fabric selection and is showing off patterns from My Childhood Treasures and our affiliate, Peek a boo patterns.
