Mommy & Me Blog Tour - 4/28-5/8 {EYMM Patterns}

Welcome to the last blog stop of the EYMM Mommy and Me Blog Tour!

When I saw that Everything Your Mama Made & More was having another blog tour, I jumped at the chance to sign up! Perfect for leading up to Mother's Day! How awesome is that! Just don't forget to check back at Everything Your Mama Made & More tomorrow for a surprise!!! :)

I have sewn up the Dolman for both myself and baby girl.

I already have the Dolman tops for both the kids' sizes (12 months - 20) and the adults' sizes (xs - 5x). You can buy the bundle, which is what I did! Yay, bundles! I have 2 of the Dolman Tops already, it was just about time that I sewed up some for baby girl! Didn't hubby take great picture?

The cool thing about the Dolman Tops is that there are so many different versions to pick from! There is the high-low hem (that's what I did for baby girl) A basic one, or you can sew on a waistband (which is what I did for mine) or a longer version with ruched sides (perfect for your beautiful preggo belly)! The pattern makes printing your selected view easier with the page numbers listed for the one you want to sew! Hurrah printing ease!

check out those stripes at the seam!

She might be a little small for it yet, I did take in the size 12 month to accommodate for my little skinny minnie. But when she is crawling around the house with the low hem covering her little tush, it is just so cute (no pictures of that though) ... 

I just love her little smile!

And... Guess what?!? Today I turn 30!!! It is so hard to believe, I am entering the 30's! So long 20's, nice to get to know you. Right when we thought we were starting to get along you leave. But 30's, we will start off on a great foot and it will be great! :)

I really like this top. So comfortable. I will be honest the sleeves scared me. I thought it would feel baggy. But it doesn't! It flows so perfectly, is roomy but not baggy. It's perfectly comfortable! I love it! I sewed up another that just needs to be hemmed (4 way stretch so that scares me a little)...

Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies and what they sewed up for the tour!

My little man wanted to jump in with the pictures too. Since he is three, he wanted to hold the '3' cupcake. And it only made sense that baby girl should hold 0 since she isn't even 1 yet, right? LOL

and he is too cute not to take extra pictures of...

Don't forget to check back for the surprise tomorrow! So excited to find out! :) And don't forget to check out her other awesome patterns at Everything Your Mama Made & More!

Happy sewing from our desert home to your home,

Happy Easter: Baby's First!

Did y'all have a Happy Easter? We spent some time with family, got home really late... It was a good day, fun. I did not take many pictures. My lower back was hurting, so getting up and moving around was not happening. But I did ask a cousin to take some pictures for us using my camera. These two (we didn't take too many) were my favorite!

I love the smile on little man's face and how he is holding his sister's foot. :) Too Precious!

He just cracks me up! I love his little face!

It was a halfway homemade Easter. Nikolai was wearing his Number 9 Trouser's by Shwin Designs. I had made them for the pattern flip and blogged about them here and you can see him wearing them on his 3rd birthday here. I haven't figured out collars yet, so I have not really attempted too much for shirts in that yet... Any patterns or suggestions that explain the color step-by-step would be greatly appreciated!

Samara is wearing her Kenzie's Party Dress by EYMM that I had made for the blog tour. You can see that post here. I am surprised that she can still fit in it, I thought she was growing like a weed and expected her to grow out of it, but nope! :) I was going to take the elastic out the bottom, but she was just too cute!

And last was one that I haven't shared with you yet... My skirt. It's the Rabbit Rabbit Creation's Strip Quilt Skirt ... Man, I've been slacking! It's amazing what not feeling good does...

Love this skirt! comfy and cute!

The skirt picture was when I tested it. I love the look with the shirt, so I went with that for Easter. :) You could probably see from the family photo that my back was hurting, I was just standing weird. Kind of bummed that I didn't take more, but oh well... I got some and that is enough. :) And we had fun celebrating with friends and family and that is the most important thing! :)

I love the look of the flounces. It is just incredible and when I first saw this pattern I felt I had to have it. It's just beautiful! I had the hardest time picking out fabrics from my stash! I finally decided on this small floral print that my Grandmother gave me. Simple and elegant. I thought it would look lovely with the standard skirt. I thought it would be adorable as bubble skirt.  But, I couldn't make up my mind! 

I eventually decided on the bubble skirt after giving a go of her wearing it both ways. She is crawling, everywhere, and gets caught up on dresses. This is a great way for her to wear a dress and still be able to crawl. :) I just did a casing hem at the bottom of the skirt and inserted elastic. I left the small opening for now in case I want to take out the elastic.

She kept crawling away. and she likes to pull on the sash. Now That I have finished pictures I've managed to get it to stay tied! 

I had to cut the sash a few inches shorter in width because it turned out that I did not have enough fabric for the full 8" width. But I think it worked out ok. I wish I had the purple left to make a diaper cover. Oh well, catching glimpse of diaper every now and then isn't too bad. ;)

She wanted to move around... So hard to get pictures of a mobile infant! :) But gotta love their facial expressions!

This was my first time making a garment of the heirloom quality. I did french seams and love how the raw edge of the fabric is hidden. Turns out it was the first time I had done french seams too! I love this dress. I love the way that it looks and I loved sewing it together.

I was scared of the lining and the fact that this is an heirloom quality pattern scared me. But, the directions were clear and simple to follow. I am so proud of my work! I have even picked out the fabrics for the signature style of skirt. What do you think?

I was thinking of fussy cutting around an elephant and using the other colors as the flounces (or just the first two and do it as a summer top?). It may have to wait though. I am not positive I have enough of the fabric for the flounces. But I love the idea!

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the previous posters for the blog tour! And don't forget to see what Sunflower Circle has in store for your eyes tomorrow! :) If you want to sew one up head on over to www.eymm.com and use the discount code "kpdblogtour"!
