A Perfect Pairing - Sprout + Shattered in Punch

Yes, I'm still crushing over Innocent Crush today and if I had a little girl (or if little Perry Margaret were a wee bit older), I would absolutely make the Make It Perfect Sprout dress with the Shattered in Punch fabric from the Innocent Crush collection.

Love it! I also think First Impression in Fruit would look fabulous as well if you wanted something a bit more bold.

Has anyone used the Sprout pattern yet? We would LOVE to see pictures! Be sure to upload your pictures to our Flickr Group. Actually if you've made anything with our fabrics, we would love for you to share your pictures. I never fail to get inspired when I see what others are making. How about you?

A Perfect Pairing - Emmeline Apron + Felicity Miller

We had several people mention how much they loved the apron that we showed in our Felicity Miller post yesterday and who could argue. It's so bold and fun ... perfect for making chores at least a bit more bearable. :)

To replicate the look, we've paired the Emmeline Apron from Sew Liberated with the Music Red and Up and Down Pink from Felicity's Gypsy collection.

How cute would this be AND the Emmeline Apron is reversible! Sweet, right?! Don't forget, we've included Gypsy in our 20% sale section right now so you can pick up the pattern and score a great deal on the fabric.

So what do you think of my choices? Agree or which fabrics would you choose instead? I'm in desperate need of an apron like this so I would love to hear your suggestions.

A Perfect Pairing - Liverpool Tunic + Twilight Pond

We got in some amazing patterns last week and almost immediately my mind started racing with all the pattern + fabric combinations. I may have temporarily overloaded my circuits a bit. Which apparently isn't that hard to do these days. LOL

The pattern that caught my eye first was Amy Butler's the "Liverpool" tunic. How amazing would this be made using Pat Bravo's Twilight Pond from the Paradise collection? {swoon}

With a fabric in mind, the next major decision is which version of the pattern to use. Oh boy ... how to decide between the shirt, tunic, short dress or long dress?!

The tunic length would be great with jeans which I wear often but maybe a bit too often. Or I could go with the short dress and wear it over a pair of leggings but then I'd actually have to buy leggings and I have avoided that trend so far .. would definitely need some coaxing for this look. The long dress would be great but I tend to keep my exceptionally pale legs covered. Hmmm ... such decisions. Do I stay within my comfort zone and go with the tunic over jeans or do I venture out a little and go with the leggings or heaven-forbid the long dress and show some leg?! Help please!!

PS. Don't forget to enter the Belle Sol Bebe giveaway we've got going on right now. You get to pick the bonnet you'd like or I bet we could even work out something with Nicole to where you could choose from any of our fabrics and make a custom bonnet. That would be cool!
