Tis the season ...



Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Tis the season to indulge my folly
Fa la la la la, la la la la



Sew I now some girls apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Love frills and pink - can you tell?
Fa la la la la, la la la la



There's something about Christmas that makes this mother of two boys go a little silly in the sewing-for-girls department.

In my defence, however, I was aided and abetted by Oliver + S, who provide the beautiful Popover Sundress pattern (children's sizes 2 - 8) as a free download.

How could I resist?


You can find my review of this lovely
and super-easy pattern at

  9. We have MOSTLY girls in our family, and I daresay they're getting the best presents. Nothing quite as much fun as making girly little dresses.
