Comment by JoAnn Scott on February 25, 2010 at 8:16am: Hi everyone,
I have a 8 mon. old granddaughter and I want to start sewing her spring/summer outfits. I hope you all can help me. I'm looking for a jumper patter like the one on the Sewing For Children home page. I've been looking but I have had no luck. I look forward to your help.

Comment by Janet Pierce on January 31, 2010 at 3:02pm: You Can go to www.Oliverands.com and get the pattern for the popover sundress. It is just like a pillowcase dress and very, very easy to sew. Just made one for my youngest granddaughter and will be making 2 more for my other 2 granddaughters. Also, the lazy day skirt is really cute and easy to make up. Great patterns

Comment by T.J. on January 31, 2010 at 9:05am: Hi all, I'm fairly new here.

I'm trying to find a pattern for a pillowcase dress without using a pillowcase. Is it easy to convert the pattern that uses a pillowcase? I'm needing pattern for 12 month and 18 month. I'm very new at sewing so if this is a goofy question, please excuse LOL.

Comment by Melissa on January 29, 2010 at 7:20am: V and Co. blogsite has some amazing FREE tutorials. Heather Bailey's blog has a FREE tutorial on a cute pincushion. I will update more FREE tutorials for you all. Most of the ones I find are for beginners up to the novice. I was buying all of mine, but started blogging and man oh man there are some amazing crafters out there willing to share! Be back very soon with others;-)
