review – Sense & Sensibility patterns
I stop by to admire the beautiful dresses at Sense & Sensibility Patterns from time to time. I like to look around and think about what it must have been like to wear feminine things like this and this. We eagerly signed up for a chance to try out the Girls’ Edwardian Apron eClass.
I was very impressed with the class. Pictures and audio take you step-by-step through the entire process. The terms are very basic – no advanced sewing jargon to try and figure out. Since my niece is schooling with us this year, I pulled my sewing sister in on this one. The end result is very cute. The pattern can even be scaled down to fit an American girl doll! Wouldn’t a little girl apron and matching doll apron be a precious Christmas gift?
The Nitty Gritty:
The eClass and pattern are $24.95, or you can download just the pattern for $7.95.
Things I Like:
- the pattern doesn’t have to be stored – just print off another if you ever need it again
- the lesson is great for a beginner sewer and doesn’t assume you already know the basics
- it is so cute & girly!
Value: I think this is a good deal for a class and a pattern. Unlike a real-live class, this one can be reviewed over & over until each step is mastered.
See what my TOS Crew Mates have to say about Sense & Sensibility Patterns!

wfmw – american girl patterns
My 10 year old became the proud owner of an American Girl doll in November. I cringe at the thought of paying $100 for a doll, but she diligently saved up her birthday and allowance money, and she has proved to be a very responsible mommy. I draw the line, however, at paying more for doll clothes than we pay for our own. I did a search and found some beautiful (and free!) American Girl doll dress patterns. Our Walmart has some very pretty fabric on the dollar table that should work great for these!
