Sewing Books: Sewing for Your Girls and Sew Sweet Handmade Clothes for Your Girls

May 21, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

It is well known that here at Pattern Revolution, we tend to mostly talk about PDF patterns. But sometimes something so cool crosses our desks that we just can't say no.

That was the case when we were contacted by Tuttle Publishing Company to review two of their popular Japanese pattern books books: Sewing for Your Girls by designer Yoshiko Tsukiori and Sew Sweet Handmade Clothes for Girls by Yuki Araki.

E&M Dress#17 and FREE Legings

January 15, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

We've talked before about my love of versatility - if I can't make a pattern in 20 gazillion different ways, I rarely buy it. But the E&M #17 dress fits my love of versatility in every way possible. This is a dress - an A-line dress, an A-line dress with long or 3/4 length sleeve - both with optional cuffs, an A-line Dress that can have a defined waist with shirring, elastic, or a belt and belt loops, an A-line dress with a normal hem, high low hem, or a shirt tail hem, an A-line dress with a cowl neck or banded neck, and last but not least - an A-line dress with POCKETS. Don't we all love pockets!!!! But seriously, that is a ton of options all in one pattern.
