Hello Beautiful,
Welcome to LilyGiggle’s Blog tour day 3. If you haven’t heard already, Beth, the owner of Lily Giggle, reopened her shop about 2 weeks ago. I’m here today to show you the Sassafras Skirt and also give you a glimpse of a brand new Flutter Sleeve pattern that will be coming out soon. Sorry, its not out yet ladies, but soon… Testing will be starting in a couple of weeks and it will be released soon after that. Hold on ladies, its coming…
I’ve always been a big fan of LilyGiggle’s work. The 1st pattern I picked from her was the Rings of Ruffle’s (ROR) Skirt. Over the years I’ve made plenty of ROR skirts and pants for both my daughter and to sell in my Etsy shop. Beth has always been such a wonderful person and designer and so easy to communicate with. Here are some details about the pattern I did for the blog tour.
Skirt Nitty Gritty:
*Ruffle Skirt
*Elastic waste band
*Sizes 2 – 12
*Above the knee fit
*Made with Knit-Can also be made using recycled t-shirts
*Has a finished measuring chart
*Tips on sewing with knits
This skirt has a similar look to the Rings of Ruffles pattern, however, Beth has created a simplified ruffle skirt without losing all the pizzaz. My absolute favorite part of this pattern is how simple Beth has made it place your ruffles using the included pattern pieces and your trusty pattern marker. You get the big impact ruffle look in a snap without the headache from working that ruffle foot for hours. The Asymmetrical top skirt helps keep all this ruffles contained -hehehehe 🙂 🙂
When I was putting this outfit together I started by using my favorite knit from April Rhodes Arizona collection by Art Gallery. The Flutter Sleeve Top fabric is from Wanderlust, which is quickly becoming my go to knit shop.
This pattern works so well with the Flutter Sleeve Top. It is now my go to pattern! LOVE!!! It provides such a big impact with the double ruffled sleeve for such an easy quick sew. Sew time was only an hour.
The skirt can easily be used for all seasons. A summer/spring look with cute sandals or wear it in the fall paired with boots. The Flutter Shirt will also be offered in a long sleeve version. Yay!!

I did my Mash Up during testing and I paired the Alley Cat Romper Pattern with Shwin Designs Sunshine Dress .
Here are some pictures… (well maybe more then just some pictures)
Bodice Fabric is From Wanderlust Fabrics and the Skirt is made with Cotton and Steel Basic Fabric, XOXO Plummy
Have a great sewing day!!!
Hello Beautiful.
I hope everyone is having a great week!
Lately my daughter has been wearing a ton of Rompers. The girl is smart, it makes getting dressed in the morning easier for both her and I ! So while I was wasting time one day on Facebook a post popped up in my news feed of this adorable Romper. I first showed my daughter and she immediately begged me to make it. I crossed my fingers and toes and hope to be one of the lucky ladies to test the Alley Cat Romper by Lil Luxe Collection. The Owner of Lil Luxe Collection, Jessica, was so easy and wonderful to work with!! In fact, testing went so well, thanks to an already great pattern, she released her newest pattern a week early!!! She currently has 4 patterns for sale so be sure to check the others out too!
Purchase HERE
Nitty Gritty on the Alley Cat Romper Pattern:
*Sizes-18mnth to 8yr
*Print your own size
*Made with Knit
*Ankle length or push the cuff up for a Capri length (my daughter loved the Capri length)
*Low back to make it easy to get on and off
*1.5hrs- 2hrs sewing time
*Relaxed/Baggy fit in the legs-Similar to Harlem Pants
The first Romper I made was all knit, size 8 in the bodice and 7 in the length. The top is made to be snug but not to worry It is comes off easily because of the lower back.
Purple Floral Fabric by Wanderlust and Gray knit Fabric purchased at the LA fabric district
The second Romper I made was a mix of Fabric mediums, Knit and Peach skin. I modified the legs slightly by shortening the cuff for a capri length. Ladies, this pattern is so easy to modify I love it. Or keep it as the original because either way you will end up with a trendy, professional sewn and adorable romper.
Purchase HERE
Knit Fabric (bodice) is Art Gallery, Arizona Collection. Peach skin (bottoms) is from Girl Charlee
More info on Lil Luxe Collection Blog on Saturday August 23rd on how to change this Romper into a dress!!! Let me tell you it is just as GREAT!!!
Thank you Jessica for letting me test for you!!! 🙂

Hello Beautiful,
Here is Part 2 of my Fall Release-Hummingbird Dresses
Beautiful Miss A.
I’m super excited to be bringing several new and updated original Ruffle Dresses to my collection. I used the lovely and amazing Ruffle Fabric, LLC . I absolutely love this fabric and love the ladies behind it. They are so sweet and are ready to answer any question you have!! Plus, have you seen their website?! So many colors to chose from. The possibilities are endless.
I chose to make SERVERAL Hummingbird dresses. Not only are the dress results beautiful but they are so easy to modify into my own ‘sweet’ style.
Tomato and Blue Bird Hummingbird Dresses
Gotta love the “V” back
Great Dress for twirling!!!
The next dress is made with Men’s suiting Fabric. I love the contrast of Men’s fabric and girly ruffles. I zig zagged the edge of the ruffle to appeared as frayed.
Purchase HERE
These next two dresses are truly near and dear to my heart. I have been a dancer since I was a child. Even today I’ll crank the tunes and have a dance party with my kids. I recently made a custom order for an all black version of my very first pink/black Ruffle dress and immediately thought of Swan Lake. This inspired me to bring back a fresh updated version one of my originals as well as the new variation.
(flashback – my first ruffle dress)
Today’s updated version …
White Swan (pink)
White Swan (pink)
and for the new one… Black Swan

Have a great Day and Thank you for reading my Blog 🙂

Hello Beautiful,
Thank you A, T and D for a job well done at the Photo Shoot!!
Are you ready for Fall?? Ok, some of you may not be. Especially if you lived back east and had to live with that crazy winter. After all it did get into the 60’s here in So Cal for a while, ‘wink’. But since Fall is really all about the clothes, I’m really excited to finally be able to start sharing my Fall Clothing Collection of Leggings, Skirts, Pinafores, Pants (Coming soon) and of course Dresses! I have short and long sleeve styles and most items will be offered in sizes 2T-8Yr.
Drumroll please……Let me introduce you to Part 1 of my release…
I chose Art Gallery’s Arizona Fabric Collection (I am secretly hoping they take this collection off the limited edition line and keep it forever)

Hello Beautiful!
I’m excited to share with you a little project I have been working on with a few of my VERY talented sewing friends. Together we have created a Clothing collection all made with the fabric from Art Gallery’s, Indian Summer. There are 7 pieces in the collection, all offered in a range of sizes (baby thru youth), all of them amazing!!
We all chose Art Gallery’s Indian Summer because of its ability to be used for boys and girls c…lothing. It is also a great color scheme for summer and fall. Indian Summer has been one of my favorite fabric collections to work with.
The fabric I chose to make my dress is called Menagerie Onyx
I chose a CKC pattern called Cora . I love the flowing style of the dress style that compliments the soft hand of Art Gallery fabric
