Guest Posting at Melly Sews: 30 Days of Sundresses

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Cherie

Have you been following along the 30 Days of Sundresses on Melly Sews? From June 1-30, there is a new sundress EVERY DAY, even Saturdays and Sundays. That’s inspiration and tutorials for 30 different dresses! For babies, kids and adults too.

Today I’m sharing my Braided Beach Maxi Dress modeled by my lovely sister.

It involves very little sewing and was so easy that I whipped up a matching one for Yuki! But you’ll have to go over there if you want to see it 🙂

How are you doing? Able to put it any beach time? I am ITCHING for my summer vacation to start!! Just one more week . . .

Guest Posting at Project Run & Play!

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Cherie

Doing a bit of blog hopping this week. Today I’m over at Project Run & Play sharing my Summer Breezes Top.

The pleated placket was a fun and easy way to jazz up an otherwise very simple top. Check out the full tutorial HERE.

It is really exciting to be sharing over on PR&P today because their sew-along was really what started it all for me, in a way. They are having tutorials from sew-alongers all month and then skirt tutorials all next month, so go check it out!

Later this week I’ll be popping over on another great blog with another summery tutorial. I hope you don’t mind traveling a bit with me 🙂

Guest Post for Vintage May!

Posted on May 24, 2012 by Cherie

I’ve been looking forward to this day for so long! I’m guest posting over at Skirt as Top for Vintage May!

I had the hardest time thinking of a project for this series, because there are so many wonderful vintage-inspired possibilities. But I finally decided on a suspender skirt for my daughter based some outfits I found in old family photos! Go check out my inspiration, the suspender skirt I made for Yuki, and a full tutorial HERE!

And if you like her vintage fabric sleeveless top, come back tomorrow for a little how-to for this remix of the Jump Rope Dress pattern by Oliver + S.

Thank you, Kristin and Jess for hosting a great series! If you want to check out the vintage awesomeness, take a look at all the Vintage May posts on Skirt as Top and Craftiness is not Optional. It has been so much fun!

Spring Fling on this heArt of mine

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Cherie

Today I’m over at this heArt of mine for Amy’s Spring Fling series! Yesterday was officially the first day of spring and it could not come soon enough! I’m ready for sunshine and picnics and flowers! Amy has lined up some great spring projects of all sorts, so hop on over and check it out!

I’m sharing a sewing project that I’m REALLY EXCITED about. It’s a simple, reversible circle skirt – easy, fun, and TWO skirts in one! I call it the April Showers Skirt – one side is gray and cloudy and the other is bright and floral. April showers bring May flowers!

My favorite part is how the bright print peeks out under the cloudy gray side! So please pop on over to this heArt of mine for Spring Fling to see how to make your own April Showers Skirt!
