Tutorial: Lettuce Edge Maxi Dress, designed for full busted women

Shannon from Googiemomma guest blogs at Melly Sews with a tutorial showing how to make her Lettuce Edge Maxi Dress. The post is an intersection of two awesome series – the (30) Days of Sundresses at Melly Sews, and the Sewing for the “Girls” series at Googiemomma (all about sewing to accommodate a large bust). Her Lettuce Edge Maxi Dress has features that make it a good choice for women with larger busts: wide straps to cover a bra, high neckline and backline so you’re not showing too much cleavage, plenty of room at the bust, and a high waistline to show her shape. Get the maxi dress tutorial at Melly Sews. See the rest of the Sewing for the “Girls” series at Googiemomma.

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.
