Hello sewing friends!
Liesl has been very busy blogging over the past two weeks, introducing the new Liesl + Co. patterns. So I thought I’d give her a blogging break and help her out with the Weekend Links for today.
As we head into the weekend, here are some Pinterest picks and weekend links to inspire you.
Pinterest Picks
I’m currently sewing up a bunch of Popover Sundresses for charity like I’ve done in the past. This darling berry themed one is very inspiring with those sweetest little jam jar pockets! You could use the pockets from either the Puppet Show Shorts or Jump Rope Dress to recreate the same look. Another adorable dress for spring would be this Fairy Tale Dress sewn by Sew Country Chick. Justine also recently sewed herself a Gallery Tunic, go check it out.
Later this year my daughter will be starting “en pointe†in ballet so I started a ballet themed Pinterest board. I love this tutu water fountain. Michaela DePrince, the girl who began life as an orphan with a heartbreaking story, has became a world class ballerina.
Here is some lovely hand stitching that could be done on the bodice of a sleeveless Playtime Dress. I like this idea of using a jewelry box to store needles and sewing feet.
As far as kid fun lately, we have made some fluffy slime and it was a big hit. Now we want to try growing rainbow crystals. Maybe this year we’ll try decorating Easter eggs with highlighters. How about a 3D chess board to add more dimension to your next chess tournament?
