I reluctantly decided upon parenthood. I was always more the “cool aunt” type but I’ve got to admit, I love being a parent and 3 year olds, despite their tantrums and attitude, are pretty awesome. One of the things I love most about having a kid, is sewing for kids!!!
When Izzy started potty training (glad that’s a thing of the past), I started making her her own undies (naturally). A couple years ago for Christmas, I made her up a bunch of matching cami and underwear sets. She really loved them and I did too. So recently, I decided to dive into the world of childrens pattern grading. I have ZERO experience grading for kids, so this was an endeavour for me!
The patterns aren’t quite ready yet, but they will be soon. I wanted to give a little sneak peek of what you can expect.
Izzy is kind of (ok, seriously) obsessed with YouTube videos. The other day she was quietly playing by herself, chatting away, when I caught her say “Let me know in the comments!” She was acting out her own little video. What a ham. So I asked her if she wanted to co-host one of mine, which she did. So, here it is. We talk about chickens. Izzy loves chickens. Our new puppy Leah also makes a guest appearance.
Speaking of puppy, look at her! I took a few photos a few weeks ago and she has already changed so much! Her ears are entirely pointy now and she’s getting quite the little personality. She’s a snuggler, but a bit bossy around Oliver. I’m looking forward to starting training classes with her soon.

March 23, 2018 at 1:15 pmI’m so excited to see these patterns. I have been making underwear and little bralettes for my granddaughter and she adores them😊 She feels like such a big girl in them. It will be nice to have more patterns her and I know these will be well done!

March 31, 2018 at 3:32 pmI love the video. Isabelle is so cute. My daughter is five and I think I was starting to forget just how awesome three is (five is pretty cool too when you get there 🙂
I’m looking forward to the patterns! I also made undies for my daughter when she started potty training but eventually the pattern I was using just wasn’t the right style for her. Now she is constantly fussing about undies because they come in either size 4 (“too small!” she says, “that’s a baby size” even though they are the ones that fit best right now) or size 6 (so big some of them are not really decent and I’m worried they’ll fall off when she’s running around in a dress. Your sample looks so cute and simple and just the kind of style that seems to work best. It would be so much fun to make tiny undies for her again. 🙂
