A floral Mini Eucalypt tank! I’ve made many of these in the dress view, and they are always so well loved, but this was my first time making the tank view. Ignore the fact that she’s wearing it backwards (because I didn’t put a tag in) and that I spilled my coffee on it when she snuggled me this morning. It still works great for monkey bars and playing on playgrounds! Pattern: #mnminieucalypt by @megannielsenpatterns Fabric: antique tablecloth

Mom went a little crazy with the birthday sewing this year! The problem is that this polka dot confetti fabric is perfect for just about anything. So we ended up with a dress, headband, doll, and quilt. Happy handmade birthday to my girl! can’t believe she’s four!! 🤯🥰 . Pattern: #mnminieucalypt @megannielsenpatterns with gathered skirt and faux shoulder ties Fabric: cotton twin sheet set from target . Did you spot the best detail? Sequins in the tulle overlay! My girly girl loves some ✨ sparkle ✨ ! . #mneucalypt #megannielsenpatterns #madebymama #madewithfabric #chattykatclothes #sewingforkids

So the babe has had her pjs now and seemed suitable impressed (for 5 seconds before moving on to the next present!!!). The fabric is a lovely viscose remnant from @thimbleandnotch and will be lovely and cool for the warmer months. The top is @megannielsenpatterns #mnminieucalypt and the bottoms are @oliverands #sunnydayshorts . I cut both in a size 7 to make sure they’d last and also because she is a smidge on the taller side. The scrunchie used up some scraps but I’ve got a bit of fabric left over. I’m not into twee kiddy prints so when I saw this I couldn’t resist! Don’t look too closely at the bias binding on the top, clearly I need some practise! #sewistsofinstagram #makersgonnamake #sewingforkids #birthdaysewing #isew #memadeisbetter #mamamade #sewaddicted

I thank my lucky stars for every day I get to spend with these two spectacular (not so little) humans. We’re wearing @megannielsenpatterns Eucalypt Tanks made from organic cotton poplin from @spotlightstores. My leggings are @megannielsenpatterns Virginia Leggings (shortened to 3/4 length) and the kids are wearing Basic Leggings from @scatteredmom. The fabric is spectacular Red Baby Leopard Lycra spandex from @pitttrading. . . . #josiebankswatson #josieswardrobe #maker #sewist #matchymatchy #mamamadeit #isewformykids #diylife #mneucalypt #mnminieucalypt #mnvirginia #basicleggings

It was a 3 day weekend in Singapore for the general election and I found time to knock out 3 #mnminieucalypt dresses for my 3 year old! She loves all of them as it is a very comfortable design and perfect for the tropics. I am looking forward to making the adult size soon! Swipe to the last pic to see the fit. The first was a red 🐱 print that she can wear to school on National Day next month. The second is a Sevenberry indigo Japanese cotton Chōjū-giga🐸🐰 print. It is based on the first Japanese cartoon illustration, which is from the 12th century (!) which I learned after buying it. The last dress is a Hungry Caterpillar 🐛🍉 food print. I hope she stops trying to eat it soon... The fabric from the first two are from Chinatown and the third is from Spotlight. The trimmings are old dress shirts. #mnminieucalypt #pdfsewingpattern #peoplesparkcomplex #sewingpatterns #sewingforkids #memade #theveryhungrycaterpillar #catprint #sevenberry #chojugiga #mneucalypt #mommyandme #megannielsenpatterns

Les détails de la première #mnminieucalypt juste parce que j’aime les photos de vêtements tous seuls. Comme je le disais, elle a été cousue dans un seersucker rayé de mon stock avec du biais Liberty de mon stock (deux différents parce qu’il ne m’en restait pas assez pour faire l’encolure ET les emmanchures #objectifdestock #onacheterien). J’ai ajouté un petit passepoil jaune (de mon stock) pour égayer la chose parce que bon Léa a 5 ans et ce n’est pas exactement une petite fille sage comme une image 🥰. Le patron est simplissime et rapide, j’ai fait le montage de base à la surjeteuse à la chaîne sans même couper mes fils entre chaque coutures (j’ai 7 pièces sur base de ce patron, vous n’avez pas fini de le voir). Maintenant il me reste quatre blouses et une robe à finaliser (taaaaant de mètres de biais 😅) sur ce modèle et trois jupes culottes. Et j’ai besoin d’un deuxième short. Puis d’un maillot aussi. Bref, il faut que je trouve (fasse) du temps pour coudre. ✨ #childrenwardrobe #blackgirlssew #wocwhosews #sewincolor #qtpocwhosews #pocwhosews #sewqueer #yanoudatoisews #couturepourenfants

Sorry/not sorry to repeat this @megannielsenpatterns Darling Ranges blouse again so soon, but I couldn’t wait to show off another way I love to wear it: tied in the front! I’m also wearing my @closetcorepatterns Pietra shorts, an @allieolson.patterns Kila tank, and a scrunchie from @teridodds1 tutorial. . Swipe to the second photo, and you’ll see Cleo in her @megannielsenpatterns Mini Eucalypt and @truebias Mini Emerson shorts. For the tank, I used a @tribeoftextiles handwoven rainbow stripe from @fencelinefabrics. I also used a bit of it for the pockets & waistband of the shorts. The last slide is a better view of the outfit. . #megannielsenpatterns #mndarlingranges #closetcorepatterns #pietrashorts #allieolsonpatterns #kilatank #mnminieucalypt #miniemersonshorts #memademay2020 #mmmayplus2020 #minimemademay #pietraplus

It's the last day of January so it just makes sense that I'm only now posting about my kids Christmas pajamas 😂 🤪 Today on the blog I'm finally sharing about my favourite kiddo Christmas pajamas featuring this gorgeous @maygibbsofficial Gumnut Babies fabric from @neridahansenfabrics x @elliewhittakerstudio Link in profile!

Summer pj’s for the kids! I hacked the #mnminieucalypt pattern into the camisole tops and self drafted the shorts. I’ll used rings and sliders on the straps next time so they’re adjustable. I love making pj’s; they’re garments that are worn for about 8 hours EVERY DAY. These are not garments that languish in closets waiting for a night out, the right job, or right brunch crowd. These are garments that love you as much as you love them! Have you made pj’s? Do you have a favourite pattern? Have I inspired you to make yourself a pair? . . . #josiebankswatson #isewformykids #summerpjs #mamamadeit #maker #sewist #scrapbusting #sewyourstash #sustainablefashion #diylife

Moving onto Spring/Summer sewing - my favourite! Cut out a few pieces for the girls. Including some @megannielsenpatterns Mini Eucalypts.

I was getting ready to cut out my kids 2020 Christmas PJs and realised I never shared my 2019 PJs!

This is my entry to #sewtogetherloungewear Last year I made a piped set of pyjamas from some vintage paisley print flannel but I have lost weight and they didn’t fit anymore. The bottoms have been remade in to #mnminieucalypt and a pair of French knickers from a lingerie pattern book we own. #reusereducerecycle #imakemyclothes #petitesewing

A special dress for a special girl, for a special day! A #mneucalypt dress in a lovely floral cotton from @leeann.textiles (that she chose herself), with just enough fabric in 1 yard for pockets and little shoulder bows! Possibly the last time that's going to happen. There are so many clothes for girls and so few with pockets. Why, when a little girl's pockets are never empty? #mnminieucalypt #pdfsewingpattern #sewingforkids #sewingforgirls #megannielsenpatterns #leeanntextiles #peoplesparkcomplex #ithaspockets #floraldress

Holiday party time at preschool next week, no food but it's card exchange and own clothes day. The little girl has been eyeing this Japanese cotton with pine trees and and quietly wondering out loud about whether would make a good Christmas dress for her. I hope she likes it. It's a @megannielsenpatterns #mnminieucalypt again, 2 sizes bigger. Will happily use this pattern for years, it's fast and so practical for an active little girl. #mneucalypt #japanesefabric #japanesecotton #toddlerdresses #toddlersewingpattern #sewinginsingapore #christmasdress #sewingproject #sewingforkids #pdfsewingpattern #bear #cosmotextilecojp

Managed to fit in a quick sew yesterday for my little girl’s 10th birthday. This #mnminieucalypt is a great singlet pattern for girls, and I’ve had to size up a lot since last season. I hacked the pattern to add the gathered skirt on the bottom. It used up this tiny piece of yellow linen from the stash and a baby bed sheet from the op shop in a lovely cotton gingham. It was a perfect match! It will be a perfect summer dress for our little ray of sunshine☀️ #sewsustainableseptember @megannielsenpatterns #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #isewlation #sewingkidsclothes

Look at that cutie in her two-tone mini Eucalypt tank 😍. I have a matching top too, of course. But it’s top secret at the moment, so you’ll have to wait to see it 😜. #penelopeflora #MNminieucalypt #sewingforkids #mamamade #madebymama #sewistsofinstagram

It’s my favourite blog post of the year (though a little late, can we pretend it’s not January?!). Today on the blog I’m sharing all about my kiddos Christmas Pajamas for 2023 and the joys *cough* and challenges of trying to squeeze three coordinating sets of Christmas pajamas out of fabric scraps with pattern matching. Why do i do this to myself 🤪 Blog post link in profile! #megannielsenpatterns #MNeucalypt #MNminieucalypt #MNreef #christmaspajamas #handmadechristmaspajamas #handmade #diy #sew #sewingpattern #sewingforkids

And a matching dress for my mini 👯♀️ Penny’s dress is @megannielsenpatterns #mnminieucalypt . I added a lining, then sewed a few tiny buttonholes on the outer fabric and sewed two lines of stitching through the main fabric and lining together to create a channel for the drawstring (hope that makes sense!) Info for my dress can be found in the previous post. Fabric: @fabricgodmother . #pennyandmommymatchagain #twinning #mommyandme #mamamade #madebymama #sewingforkids

My top nine for 2020 reveals a shift in my colour palette from cool to warm colours. Previously, I’ve almost exclusively dressed in neutrals and greens. I wouldn’t say I reach for these warmer coloured garments as often as I do the others, but they get their share of love and wear. They were among my most “liked” garments, so perhaps I’m not so badly suited to earthy colours as I thought! .

Spring is here! Here’s that fishy dress making an appearance again - this time in its natural habitat. So I have something to say about this #mnminieucalypt dress which I thought was worth posting for the benefit of others. I love love the curved shape at the back. But I couldn’t hem it. Too much fabric folding up into the curve. My tip is this - before you waste half an hour fiddling with it obsessively and burn your fingers with the steam iron - draft a facing. My facing worked beautifully and I personally think is a better looking finish anyway. That is all. #midnorthcoastsews #australiasews #sewingforkids

Premier week-end couture depuis mille ans. J’ai cousu samedi ET dimanche et ça m’a fait un bien fou. Butin du week-end: une robe de chambre Almada de Seamwork pour moi que je dois encore bien photographier, un short dressed Deer and Doe de ma nouvelle couleur préférée 😍, des patrons découpés et modifiés pour les prochaines séances et j’ai terminé deux hauts #mnminieucalypt pour ma grenouille dont celui-ci. J’ai déjà montré le tissu mais je ne peux pas m’en empêcher: il est beau hein? 🥰 (elle a pas l’air fort enjaillée là mais en vrai elle était ravie et a même esquissé quelques pas de danse 😅) #childrenwardrobe #blackgirlssew #wocwhosews #sewincolor #qtpocwhosews #pocwhosews #sewqueer #yanoudatoisews #couturepourenfants

Des milles pièces en projet pour la garde robe des gnomes deux sont terminées et pleiiiins sont coupées en attente d’être bouclées. Vais-je arriver au bout de mon aventure? Personne ne le sait. 🤷🏾♀️ En tout cas ceci est une des deux robes #mnminieucalypt terminées à ce jour. Ça a un peu été le drame quand Léa l’a vue. Enfin le drame... sa réaction a été très prévisiblement « bof » ça tourne pas, ça brille pas, c’est pas très « joli ». Puis ce matin ça lui a pris, elle a voulu la mettre et elle a décidé qu’elle l’aimait. Moi-même je dois dire que je trouve ça fort fort mignon et parfaitement adapté à une potentielle future canicule🔥. Celle-ci est en seersucker rayé gris acheté il y a... plus de 5 ans je pense, je ne sais plus où. Le passepoil jaune et les morceaux de biais Liberty sont également de mon stock. En fait pour ce projet de garde-robe complète tout vient de mon stock 😇#fierté #onvaenfinutiliserlesrestesdelalayette #childrenwardrobe #blackgirlssew #wocwhosews #sewincolor #qtpocwhosews #pocwhosews #sewqueer #yanoudatoisews #couturepourenfants

Yesterday at @meccaeugene we found a yard of this cute rainbow striped seersucker fabric. Today we worked together to turn it into the Mini Eucalypt dress! This pattern is so simple but has elevated details like French seams and a bias facing. It was a quick and satisfying afternoon sew! #mnminieucalypt @megannielsenpatterns

Another look at P’s drawstring @megannielsenpatterns #mnminieucalypt dress. Oh, and let’s pretend we don’t see that pile of dirt at her feet 🤦🏻♀️. I didn’t realize the bottom on of her shoes were caked in dirt when I put them on her and she dragged it all throughout the house without me realizing until we were on the white tile 🥴. And her little cardboard suitcase is from Target! #seepennywear #penelopeflora #sewingforkids #mamamade #madebymama

EN/ You may be wondering why my first 2021 finished garment is a summer top, in winter! And there's a simple explanation for it, one of the goals that I set myself for this year is to finish all my work in progress before starting new ones and this @megannielsenpatterns #mneucalypt top has been on my desk for a few months. I took the idea of the colour combination from @hollydollydarling as she made one #mnminieucalypt top for her daughter and I fell in love with it. The fabrics are double gauze: the paprika one is from @sewmesunshine.uk and the Cloud one is from @merchantandmills ES/ Puede que te estés preguntando por qué mi primera prenda terminada este 2021 es un top de verano, en invierno! La explicación es que este año me he propuesto terminar los proyectos que tenía empezados antes de empezar nuevos y este #mneucalypt top de @megannielsenpatterns llevaba en mi mesa varios meses. Cogí la idea de la combinación de colores de @hollydollydarling ya que le hizo un #mnminieucalypt top para su hija del que me enamoré. Las telas son doble gasa: la "paprika" es de @sewmesunshine.uk y la "nube" de @merchantandmills #imakefashion #memade #handmadewardrobe #sewmesumshine #merchantandmills #megannielsenpatterns #memadewardrobe #sewist #sewing #sewingproject

Two pairs of #twigandtale #treeclimbers for my tiny one, made up from op shop scraps and fabric from @thenestcommunity that she picked herself - she’s in an extremely pink and purple phase right now. Also wearing a #MNminieucalypt from @megannielsenpatterns in eye-searing print from the leftovers of a shirt I’m making for myself... I am absolutely gonna be one of those mums who matches her kid, I can feel it.

Last night I finished up the @truebias Mini Emerson shorts from my last post, and today I cut up an old dress of mine to make a @megannielsenpatterns Mini Eucalypt tank to go with them! I sewed view B, with the center front seam (which I flat felled, because #cantstopwontstop). The fabric is Nani Iro double gauze, which I bought at @sarahsfabrics a couple of years ago. . Also if you’re an adult thinking “I’d wear that!” — both of these patterns are mini versions of adult patterns that already exist. Sadly the Emerson shorts aren’t size-inclusive, but the @madebyrae Rose shorts are a similar style that go up to a 59” hip! . #megannielsenpatterns #mnminieucalypt #naniiro #truebias #miniemerson #bfwashedlinen #sewingforkids
