Manhattan Skirt Pattern by Terra's Treasures

I was so excited to do another pattern test for Terra's Treasures. This time it was the Manhattan skirt pattern. My 11yo was excited that this skirt was available in her size. This is what I like about Terra's Treasures patterns: they range in size from 0-6 months all the way up to size 10, and they are quick to sew up. (Well they can be quick if you can easily decide what fabric to use!) I chose this fabulous corduroy fabric and the skirt turned out really well. It was very easy to put together and the instructions are AWESOME (pictures included). Many of the pattern pieces are cut on the bias and because of this, I think the skirt would be wonderful if one used striped fabric. Here are some pics of my 11yo modeling her new skirt:

Provincial Top by Terra's Treasures

I woke up Saturday morning to a new pattern in my email inbox! Super exciting! LATE Friday night, I responded to a call for pattern testers for a new pattern by Terra's Treasures. It is the Provincial Top Pattern and Tutorial--a super cute and stylish KNIT top for sizes 0-6 months all the way up to size 10! I was excited to try this top out because there aren't many boutique patterns available for tween girls. It is SO easy to put together. And the shirring isn't a problem at all on the knit fabric. There are 2 options available...button front or plain. My daughter requested the plain version in a bold polka dot fabric. She ADORES the top and I'm sure you can tell that she absolutely LOVED modeling it!
