Free pattern: Mom’s Perfect Fit Shirt with a drapey hem

September 16, 2012 by Anne Weaver

When you find a shirt that fits exactly the way you like, you want to have a bunch of them. Mira from Sewing The Littleheart Collection made a shirt for her mother based on a shirt with a perfect fit for her. It’s fitted through the shoulders and bust, but flares out to a drapey hem. She shares the pattern (size large – XL) and tutorial for making it. If you need a different size, you could draft your own using a t-shirt that fits as a sizing guide and her pattern as a shaping guide. Get the pattern and tutorial.

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
