Hi! Are you sewing along for Project Run & Play season 11?
I was thrilled when season 11 was announced! PR&P was really important for me when I started to blog. It helped me to find lots of amazing blogs, to get to know super talented bloggers, and also to make my little blog at the time known. I was kind of sad that last year it was run on a different format, I must admit... But now it has come back with all the same fun and excitement as before! Four weeks, one theme each week, a few contestants, a linky party for everyone who wants to join the fun, and lots of amazing outfits!
Happy Holidays everyone!! This is my favorite time of the year! Well, at least until Spring arrives there is. Then you will probably hear me saying that again. :)
I am finally sharing one of my favorite makings of 2015, which is actually one of my favorite makings ever! It's the Tip Top & Dress pattern by one of my favorite pattern designers (and one of my references when it comes to kids style and fashion), Celina Bailey of Petit à Petit and Family.
Christmas is just around the corner! Yay! Today I am all Christmas-y here as I join the Holiday Debut Blog Tour. This tour showcases three different patterns from three different designers that debuted this year: Holli of Hello Holli, Gabriela of Chalk and Notch and Saskia of The Wolf and The Tree. These ladies did an amazing job with their first pattern! I am in awe.
I had the chance to test the Blue Ridge dress and the Fishtail Kimono a few months ago and now I have sewn up Abby's Tights. All I can say is that I absolutely love these patterns! I can't wait to see what their next patterns are! The bar is set high, ladies! :) (No pressure intended, ha!)
It's time for the biannual Sew Mama Sew Giveway Day!
If you're new to Made by Sara, welcome! My name is Sara and I love to sew! I sew mainly for my three kids and for myself, but occasionally I love to sew something for the home too. I also love to write tutorials for some easy sewing projects, which you can see here.

Have you heard that the 70's fashion & style are back? It's all about flare, flounces and bo-ho. Today I am sharing with you a girl's dress I made using a vintage pattern from the 70's for the Battle of the Stitches, a sewing challenge hosted by Olu, who blogs over Needle & Ted. This battle started between Olu and Toya, who blogs over Made by Toya, and this time two guests joined it - me and Nina, from Fliegfederfrei. Make sure to stop by over their blogs to see what everyone made!
Today is the round three of this battle, and the theme is "a stitch back in time". The challenge was to make something (girls or women clothes) using a vintage pattern or inspired by some vintage era's fashion.
