My Next Tutorial Will Be...

Sailor collars. Yes, some of the readers have asked for this tutorial. and that's what I am working on now. As my baby sleeps more during day time and my elder daughter attends full-day senior kindergarten, I get enough time for sewing.

This is what I have done so far.












I am yet to finish the dress. The tutorial is almost ready. Watch out for the tutorial.

Here is the link for the tutorial: Sailor collar.

Our Bundle of Joy Has Arrived

A big hello to everyone! I have been waiting for almost three months to share the news that we have been blessed with a baby girl. She was born on June 1. She is cute and cuddly, and so sweet! I am spending most of my time playing with my two little angels.

I will soon meet you all with yet another sewing tutorial.

Have a happy weekend!

How to Print and Assemble the PDF Pattern Pages:

Print the pattern at 100%. Do not scale. The pattern pdf contains 1 pattern assembly page + 12 pattern pages. I have  posted a three-part step-by-step sewing tutorial here. Print the pattern on A4-sized papers.


Size Chart:

This is the size chart I used. Please take the bust round measurement of your kid, and compare it against the measurement in the size chart to find the right size for her.




Seam allowances are included in the pattern as shown in the tutorial. Pocket is not included in the pattern, however you can easily make one by following the tutorial posted here. 

 Please feel free to e-mail me at flora.flowers.boo@gmail.com, if you have any questions regarding the pattern or the tutorial.

Note: My blog's link in the pattern assembly page should read frillsandflares.blogspot.com, not frillsandflares.com.

Kids Clothes Week Challenge---Sleeveless Button-Down Shirt




I made a sleeveless button-down shirt for my little girl yesterday night to pair with the rainbow shorts I made earlier.
I didn't have enough time to take some snaps of my kid wearing the shirt. So, I laid the shirt with the shorts and took this picture. The fabric I used is a cotton eyelet fabric. I lined it as it was very lightweight.






I am happy that I was able to complete at least three projects. I had been procrastinating these projects for long. But now KCW challenge has helped me finish them all, so I can find no more reason to postpone any more. My thanks to KCWC organizers.

I made a skirt too, but the hem is not finished yet. So I am not posting it for the KCW challenge.

Kids Clothes Week Challenge---Tiered Ruffle Dress

I made a tiered ruffle dress following the tutorial at Mama Says Sew. Although this is not meant to be a project for the KCW challenge, due to the difficulty level of it (it involves making layers and layers of ruffles), I opted for it because I had already drafted the pattern I had cut the fabric pieces ready, and my daughter was very excited, and she kept on asking me when I will make the fluffy dress after I showed her the dress on Mama Says Sew website and told her that I was going to make one for her.





It took almost four hours straight for me to finish this dress. But the final outcome was worth the effort. I first thought of using white and two shades of pink. But my little one has many pink dresses, also when I searched my stash, I found some fabrics in blue shades. So I changed my mind and ended up using the same nautical colors as in the original. Also I liked the cool colors and my kid loved it too.




Her tutorial was easy to follow. The neckline was a bit tricky and needed some effort, but came out well.
