![]() ![]() Sew Over It Nicole Dress– Nicole is a classic shirt dress with all the trimmings: buttons all the way down the front, collar and collar stand, and a midi A-line skirt with a gently curved hem. I did use Liberty Tana Lawn, but the print is Hydrangeas – my mom loves hydrangeas! Gift for her birthday. New set of PJs for my mom – used the Sew Liberated Nocturne pattern – same as the pair I made for myself except fabric. I have to share how cutting & buying it went. I found a cute fabric on clearance at Joann & bought it to make a version of my self drafted dress.

I wanted to crochet the Striped Sweater for Drew but I tried a few of the yarns in my stash and I could not reach the specified gauge. I like to use the same yarns used in patterns – I find it much easier to reach the specified gauge if I start with the same tools.

The only flaw I can find in the guide (for me) are the yarns used in the patterns. Plus it includes more than 80-crochet patterns!
