I am sewing kids’ raincoats for my sons. I made muslins for their two sizes using Madalynne’s Blog on how to draft a front and back bodice sloper. (I love her blog.) Then I used a hood from a pattern that I already had. The pattern was for an adult, so in order to fit the…

Here is what I am working on. Its a City Bag from the pattern from You Sew Girl. It is a nice size bag, practical for carrying and easy to make. Of course, there is a lot of room for personalization. You can add outer and inner pockets, accent panels, long or short straps, and…

Hello and Welcome to SewBitty! This is my very first post about my very favorite most fantastic thing-SEWING! I began sewing about 10 years ago. I asked my Aunt to make some pillows for me, and she told me that she wouldn’t make them, but she would show me how to make them myself. I took…
