December Give Away 2019

12/14/2019

6 Comments

 
The year is coming to an end and I realized that I did stop blogging. There were too many distractions and many family errands in 2019 that kept me busy and away from playing with my “VINTAGE patterns stash” … therefore, there were no ideas to share ☹

Not wanting to end a tradition for having fun during this month, I want to do the “December Give Away” blog …even if I didn’t blog the entire year (!!). This year the “give away” is a size 3T red gingham “Martha” dress with a square collar embroidered with a wreath. The dress has heirloom sleeves and the collar is adorned with Swiss lace.
Please post a positive sentiment about this beautiful season. Your thought could be about family, friends, service and/or compassion, My granddaughter will get your names and choose a winner on Dec 25th
I wish you all, lovely people that I've worked with and who I have met through this endeavor of mine, a beautiful and Happy Christmas, a season full of joy and Buenaventura, as well as rich blessings for the year to come!
With much love,

December "Give Away"

12/18/2018

5 Comments

 
No other month brings such emotional beauty like December does, where joyful decorations and celebrations can be experienced pretty much everywhere. During this month, love is more explicitly expressed. Not to mention the heightened tendency to make lots of yummy food…which I truly enjoy!
I am always grateful for having the opportunity to celebrate the birth of Christ, no matter how small the setting, with either my family, friends, or with whomever I come in contact. In this season, we are reminded that God’s love is for all His children.

Please post something positive and encouraging as a reply. Let’s make this month a happy and positive month where we share our love for others and render service, large or small, to those in need.
Your comment will also allow you to participate in a little giveaway--a small token of my Christmas celebration and appreciation for you. On December 25th my oldest granddaughter will randomly pick a winner from among the comments, who will then receive an heirloom baby gown.

May this New Year bring the very best in ourselves--happiness, health and success in our endeavors.
P.S. THANK YOU TO MY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

This months I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving day! and of course, I also want to share another pattern that I like...one of my favorites for older little girls (5-10 YO).
The pattern is “Style #1031”, a high waist dress with pleated skirt or semi-circular skirt, both alternatives look very pretty.
Enjoy!

While children are out of school for the Summer, moms must think of activities to keep their kids busy and happy. There is something so special about summers filled with library trips, visits to the park, trips to the beach or the grandparents’ house, picnics, play dates, and lots of swimming. Nonetheless, housework and chores go on; and these can also be fun!
Here is my granddaughter helping on the farm while wearing my favorite apron style, vintage Simplicity #7060.
This apron also works as a dress saver for school work, cooking, art, or even household chores as in this case.
Enjoy!

Wishing you a beautiful day of celebration and  family fun!
This is another great holiday to celebrate in the company of family and friends, and to be thankful  for the gift of  freedom and for our nation.

Today, I like to share with you pattern Simplicity 6063, which is a cute shortall for boys. I like this pattern because it is very versatile and could be worn with or without a shirt.
I made the outfit with embroidered cotton seersucker, proper for the summer days and the playful activity of little boys. But if this pattern is made in solid pique with embroidered pockets and worn with a shirt ... it will be a Sunday outfit!
Enjoy!

For almost 8 years I have been sewing on Etsy, and I have loved it! I’ve had the opportunity to work with many of you wonderful people. I thank you for making these years an incredible after-retirement experience.So many of you have shared wonderful pictures of your children with me at Vintage Baby Clothier. My Etsy site, Facebook page, and Instagram account, as well, are full of beautiful and delightful little children wearing my tiny clothes….and that makes my sewing so exciting. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
This month, in return, I would like to share with you a picture of myself and my family. We are celebrating 40 years of marriage this year (…I’m not getting old, though!.. just a little slower...) ;) And thank you again for trusting me with dressing your little ones.

Finally the nice weather is here, and it’s time to think of walking to fun places like the park, the beach, and the playground. Or, as I prefer, just sit outside and enjoy Mother Nature from the comforts of the porch.
I’ve had all winter to think of summer outfits and I found a vintage pattern that I fell in love with: Simplicity 6894.
Now is the perfect time for it! It is a simple romper. When I made the original pattern, as gorgeous as it was, the buttons made diaper changing a hassle. So I’ve altered it into one piece. I love the way the little girl version looks— it is adorable!

My next post will be the same romper in the little boy version.
Today I want to share with you some of my spring findings: roses from my garden, a nest with 4 robin eggs (check out the beautiful color!) and dogwoods in bloom.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have been blessed with this calling. There is no greater call for a woman. Much Happiness to All!

Spring has arrived, and the children are getting very excited about their Easter activities. During this season I like to spend time with family and celebrate the beauty of this holiday. For those of my friends who don’t celebrate Easter, please enjoy the bounty of beauty all around, from the simple sprouting of plants to the arrival of new babies in the animal kingdom… It is truly a joy to experience the coming of spring.

Here I am sharing with you the McCall’s 2908 small bunny pattern (vintage). As usual, I have made a little modification and dressed the bunnies with baby clothes.  Enjoy!

HAPPY EASTER!!
