I have also finished up some skirts that are for sale at the shop right now.

Neapolitan Skirt

Thanks to a bug my friend Michelle put in my head a few days ago, I came up with a nifty thrifty, easy peasy skirt pattern to make multi sized, double sided skirts for my girls. The pattern makes skirts from size 6 mos to girls size 14 or larger if you wanted.

Here are the first three I made.

Side 2

I am working up the instructions this weekend with illustrations and am seeking out some handy dandy pattern testers to see if someone else can follow my instructions.
It really is so simple to make, just 3 or 4 steps and you have a lovey, sturdy, double sided skirt with no hem. I really hate sewing hems and gathering.

I would love to hear what you think! Please leave a comment.

The Neapolitan Skirt Pattern is for sale in my Etsy Shops Here and Here.

Apron Model

My niece Katie agreed to pose in the Mama Byrd Sweetheart apron for me. Some of you have wanted to see it on someone. So here you go.


Thanks Katie!

Sneek Peek at New Pattern

I have been working on a new pattern for a few weeks now and would like to get you a sneak peek at the apron.

I have made this Sweetheart Apron from a picture of a vintage apron from the 50's. The pattern will be ready for sale very shortly in both hard copy and PDF format thanks to my fabulous niece Alisa.

I think I might have to do a Mama Byrd's Sweet Heart Apron Giveaway. The pattern comes in three sizes Small which fits 2T to about 6T, Medium which fits larger children to teens and Large which fits adults.
I can't wait till this one is done! It is so much fun and works up really fast and only take 1 to 1 1/3 yards of fabric!
Here is the small size apron. It only take about 1/3 to 1/2 yard fabric to make.

One Left

Oh My Goodness.
I just checked out my Sassy Apron Pattern box and there is only one left.

Someone ordered a dozen more of them and that all but wiped me out.
I don't know when I will be able to get another printing of them made. I hope it will be soon.
Soooo.... If you were thinking you would like to get one then now is your last chance.
Thank you to everyone that made this a success!
I would love to see pictures of you finished aprons!

Sorry this is sold out now.

If you missed out on this first edition pattern and would like get one let me know. If there is enough interest I will see if I can get a second printing done soon.

Caroline-a in the Lolita

Miss Caroline turns 9 tomorrow. In honor of her birthday I gave her a Lolita apron that I was honored to get to test the pattern. I just love how festive this apron looks. The pattern should be showing up very soon for public sale at Sew Liberated.

The Sassy Apron Pattern

I am so proud and excited to announce that my very first apron pattern is finished and ready for sale.

The Sassy Apron Pattern was inspired by a sassy little apron found at a rural Missouri flea market. It was such a happy sweet little apron that I quickly duplicated it and started making several of them.
A local quilt store contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me to whip up an apron pattern that they could use for the local chapter of the Sassy Apron Swap right here where I live. So with the help my three of my very talented nieces, I am happy to at last be able to offer up this Sassy little pattern for you.
The pattern will be going on sale this Saturday at my Sexy Apron Day, and My Little Byrd Nest Etsy shops. It will hit the quilt store on Friday.

The Sassy Apron Pattern is on sale for $8.95 (special introductory price) till June 1st.
