MADEIT Fashion Week : FOLD

Today is the 6th day of MADEIT Fashion Week, and it's my turn to show you what I've made!! 

I chose to make the Petal Fold separates, just because!

Don't you love it?? 

Every pattern in this collection is infused with fine details, that make each piece truly unique! Nothing in this collection will bore you. I promise!!!

Hehe. Sorry for the crumply fabric! I didn't have time to iron. But still looks awesome right??? 

For the photoshoot, we played with water color and lots and lots of paper! Erin had so much fun, all she wanted was to play. I couldn't get decent photos of the garment! lol.

But I'm glad i was able to get these sweet photos of Erin and Kurt.

I'm regretting that i did not let Kurt show off his Book Fold Trousers in these photos! Go check out the pattern, it's awesome!

During fashion week Madeit is offering 20% off the collection, take your change!

Free Bow Pattern!!

Hi!! Today i have a free pattern for you!! 

A simple classic bow for your little one!!

You can get the free pattern here.

First, gather your supplies.

You will need:

1. 4"x12" of fabric

2. 1"x 2" of fabric

3. Hot glue

4. Elastic

Cut out the pattern piece. Stitch about 1/4" from edge of the sides but leave about an inch and a half opening on the middle. Turn. Press if you want, i didn't. :P

Fold this way, and stitch along the middle.

Pinch this way, and put a dab of hot glue in between those little folds. 

Fold the rectangular piece of fabric and wrap around the middle. Hot glue into place and cut off excess fabric. You could also choose to hand stitch, if you want.

Cut two lengths of elastic. One 16" and 1.5". Zigzag stitch on the ends of the longer piece. Wrap it with the shorter piece, and put a dab of hot glue.

Attach the bow and you're done!!

Here's the finished result.

Cute isn't it?? 

This will take about 15 minutes to make. Now what are you waiting for? Get all your scraps and start making them bows!! ;P

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Holiday Dress

Mingo & Grace will be releasing a new pattern on BLACK FRIDAY!!!

The perfect holiday dress. ;) 

Sundress : Free PDF Pattern!

 Today i have a free PDF Pattern for you guys!! Its a sundress in a size 5T, although it could easily fit a 4 or 6 year old. You'll just have to lengthen/shorten the skirt and tighten/loosen the elastic.

It's elasticized with a tie back. I will try to upload a tutorial when i find time, but right now you can download the pattern HERE.

 

If i could, i would also grade the pattern from 2T - 8. But I'm going to need some testers. If you are interested, please shoot me an e-mail with the size you are interested in at diorellanaoe@gmail.com.

Also, if you have any trouble with the pattern, please let me know. Enjoy, and don't forget to smile! 

Meet Charlie

Hello! Today, Farrah from Mingo and Grace is releasing her first pattern, the Charlie dress!  

I found out about Farrah as i was browsing through the Stylo magazine. I was immediately drawn to her style and looked her up. That's when i found her blog, and saw her call for testers! Of course, without thinking, i signed up! Nevermind that i had board exam in a month that i had to study for. And nevermind that my model was living 2339744km away. Kidding, hehe.

I really love Charlie! It's beautiful. Simple, stylish, and comfortable! The the instructions are well written, and her illustrations are so professional. You can read more about it here.

The pattern is available in her shop. And from today until June 31, you can use the code CHARLIEFRIEND to get $2 off the pattern! ORRR you can try to win it! 

The giveaway will be open for a week! Goodluck!
