Pattern Testing - Bubby and Me Taylah Skirt

I enjoy pattern testing, and you can always tell when I love what I’m making - I obsessively make more than the one I was required to test! 

The latest offering from Bubby and Me Creations the Taylah Skirt is one I’ve made obsessively! It’s a style I love, it suits my kids and it’s super quick to make!

It ranges from sizes 1-10 and has a pleated or gathered skirt option. It can be made in woven or knit and also has instructions for an adjustable waistband.

Feast your eyes on his cuteness!

Let’s start with the woven, gathered skirt option




This is the woven, pleated skirt option

This is the knit pleated skirt version

This is the knit gathered skirt option, for this one I used some gorgeous Bubby and Me Fabric it's on pre-order at the moment, so lets hope there is some retail left over for those of you who may have missed out!

Andddddd if you check out Nikki's blog, you will see a post on how to add shorts to your knit skirt for active little girls!

This option has definitely been my 3yo's favourite - she walks around telling random people that they can't see her bumbum anymore....

I hope you all love this pattern as much as I do, thanks for stopping by and Happy Sewing

Beach Ready!!

As we head into summer down under in Australia, I’ve been stockpiling my girls beach wardrobes with swimmers. Actually, I’ve been obsessively stockpiling... 

A few months ago, Made for Mermaids released their Mermaid Shores collection of delightfully cute girls swimmers and I’ve been sewing through all three of the styles they offer. 

I’ll start with Calypso, a cute flouncy two piece set. I used just the long flounce option to make mine. And cahhhhute 😍

Then, I moved on to try the Lainey pattern, which was perfect for my girls swim classes 

And then I tried out the Camilla, which is a 1 piece with side rouching and a flounce - LOVE! 

And if those weren’t enough, I decided to use the Calypso top with the Lainey bottoms because when I tried the Calypso bottoms on my pot bellied 3 yo, they just didn’t suit her at all. And this is when I totally fell in love!! 

And just like that! We’re beach ready - now, bring on summer!!!!

Happy sewing
