GIVEAWAY: oliver + s little things to sew



We have been waiting for oliver + s little things to sew ever since we got a sneak peek at Quilt Market last year and it's finally here! If it's possible, it's ever better than expected. The projects are clever and beautifully photographed and there is a nice range of age appropriate projects from age 0+.



Author Liesl Gibson is known for her beautiful & classic children's clothing patterns, which you can find at fabricworm FYI, but I love that the projects in this book steps away from the oliver + s norm, instead focusing on accessories and toys. The projects seem very accessible for the beginner - intermediate sewist.

Every project lists the skills you need to finish the piece. If there is something you don't know how to do... adding bias tape? adding a button or zipper? You know we can help!


Read on and find out how to enter to win this beautiful (and useful!) book...


Quinn likes the blocks best!

Leave us a comment before Wednesday, May 4th at Midnight. Tell us what you have planned for your next project for a little one. Stumble, Tweet and/or Like the giveaway for extra entries each day (leaving a separate comment for each.) You can come back and enter every day!

I think my next project will be a little summer dress for my daughter- maybe a simple pillowcase dress. I just got some pink polka-dotted fabric that would look great with some green ribbon.
Also, I have a free pattern from Oliver + S, and love it!

I have a seedling of an idea growing in my mind of a peacock costume for little one, Milo. He loves birds and he would be adorable as a little blue peacock this Halloween. Better than last years' hand me down bumblebee costume.

Pretty lame: but I have to replace the elastic in my son's cloth diapers. Once it's done, hopefully less leaks...ugh.

Gasp! I somehow missed the last line about being able to enter every day!!! Going to go kick myself in the rear now. Ouch!
Working on Jazz outfits for recital right now. The moms are trusting me to make it good without prior approval of the outfit. So fun! I love having a general vision, but being able to change it up as I go!
