It’s Tester Tuesday: Playtime Peasant Top for WellieWishers™

Ruffles are ideal for the “little girl” look of the new WellieWishers™ dolls by American Girl®.  They are designed for little girls, but big girls are enjoying them too!  The Playtime Peasant Top and Twirl Skirt are made with elastic instead of closures, so they both pull on over the doll’s feet!

Enjoy these gorgeous creations from the Oh Sew Kat! test group!

Find the pattern for WellieWishers here and for 18 inch dolls like American Girl here. See more ideas here and here.

March Madness is for dolls too!

Mary is super excited that her bracket is still in tact!  Are you following March Madness?  My family is “mad”about it.  Ha ha.  Well, with two sports’ fanatical sons, it’s probably not that big of a surprise.  My brother always organizes a family pool…ESPN makes this super easy, and everyone enters their brackets online and then chats each other up. It’s sort of like a virtual family reunion!!  For the first four years, my son, Ben, won every.single.time. It was so weird.  Lately he hasn’t quite won each time, but he does usually make it to the top two or three consistently. I’m always happy when my picks line up with his.  At least then I think I have a chance.

My beloved Wildcats are still alive. Here’s hoping this is the year!! #NovaNation

Whose your favorite team in all this madness?  Check back tomorrow to see a few of Molly’s Easter Dresses Past.

April Moon PJ’s

I just have to share these cute photos that Jenny made while she was testing the April Moon PJ Set.  Jenny’s daughter is into minions at the moment (and who wouldn’t love a few minions running around to keep things lively!). This was the first time she had sewn with knit fabrics and her pajamas came out darling! Her 5 year old daughter is thrilled and so are we.  Great work, Jenny, and thanks for being so willing to try something new to make sure Oh Sew Kat! patterns are the best they can be. As you can see, the pattern also works great for Our Generation dolls.

See more tester and fan photos of the April Moon Pj’s here.

Do you build bears? New sewing patterns for Build A Bear by 18onMain

18onMain has just released two patterns for you to sew for your furry friends from Build A Bear Workshop! Diane brings her top notch quality and patterning to a whole new market. I was able to test this darling Bear E Love Bug pattern for her.  I pulled my daughter’s bunny, Sugar, from storage in order to test it out.  I love the little dress and bloomers look.  I made the dress from this pattern: Bear E Love Bug and used the  Under Bear pattern to make the bloomers.  Hop on over to PixieFaire and download and sew an outfit for your Build a Bear today!

Snowbound!!

Well, we are getting a little snow.  Actually, where we live, we normally watch every snowstorm come through with a little trepidation…mainly because sometimes we think there is a bubble over us- and we are always on the outside looking in, from the RAIN/SNOW line. Is that a thing?  According to my kids, yes!!  Maybe not so much this time!! Just in case…Nellie is ready for the winter in this gorgeous blue cape that a very, very special friend sent me this Christmas.  It matches her eyes perfectly, and she is snuggly warm and ready for the weather!! Tune in tomorrow to see if we got more or less than the 20-30 inches predicted. At least I know I can sew all weekend, yeah, baby!!!
