We have been waiting for oliver + s little things to sew ever since we got a sneak peek at Quilt Market last year and it’s finally here! If it’s possible, it’s ever better than expected. The projects are clever and beautifully photographed and there is a nice range of age appropriate projects from age 0+.
Author Liesl Gibson is known for her beautiful & classic children’s clothing patterns, which you can find at fabricworm FYI, but I love that the projects in this book steps away from the oliver + s norm, instead focusing on accessories and toys. The projects seem very accessible for the beginner – intermediate sewist.
Every project lists the skills you need to finish the piece. If there is something you don’t know how to do… adding bias tape? adding a button or zipper? You know we can help!
Read on and find out how to enter to win this beautiful (and useful!) book…
Quinn likes the blocks best!

I just ordered this book. I am so excited to get it!!!!!! I think I will make bucket hats first. I just love the picture of the back of the little girl with a whole stack of them on her head. It reminds of a book I had when I was little called "Hats for Sale." ๐

I really need to finish the pile of mostly finished dresses for my daughter before she out grows them!
really, my next project is making milk for the 9am nursing session. i'm guessing that isn't the answer you had in mind, though. i have plans to make a couple of new layer cake skirts for the girl, and i've got a stack of my late father-in-law's shirts to make a quilt for our new baby boy.

So exciting!
I have just recently picked up sewing again. I am planning on making some blocks for my one year old son. That way if his big brother gets a hold of them and "accidently" aims in his direction they won't hurt.
And I "liked" it. I should have said "Sew exciting!" up above. ๐
I have so many things that are on my project list. I plan to make my daughter a variety of puppets. I had a puppet theater when I was little, and I love the example in this book.

I finally made my first little dress for my baby girl without a pattern! It turned out so cute and now I'm on to the matching bloomers (also without a pattern). And a friend has requested a dress for her daughter and something for her son so I guess I'd better get to work!
I just finished the Chickummyjig from myrtleandeunice.com for my niece and nephews for Easter. My current project is working on some BIG BRO, lil bro shirts using the Silhouette Interfacing.
oh my! So many things planned for little one's projects. I am working on getting stuff together for my first born coming in September so I know i have several flannel/voile receiving blankets, a castle peeps quilt, some adorable baby bloomers and much more in the works!
I just finished sewing my daughter's first birthday dress, and next on the list is a pair of little pants refashioned from an old linen skirt of mine.
AHH!! I was just reading the reviews on Amazon for this book. I would love a copy of this book. Oliver+s patterns are classic and timeless. EAsy to add to or take from and are great for beginners like myself. Fingers crossed!!!!
I plan to make new covers for my baby swing and high chair. I also just made my older son a "nature explorer" backpack for his birthday.
Oh, I love Oliver + S, thanks for the chance to win. I have a bunch of stuff cut out waiting to be sewn at the moment, mostly in preparation for Kids Clothes Week Challenge coming up, but the top of the list is some summer PJs, my little girl seems to go through them super fast for some reason so I need more to add to her drawer. Then I need to get some mending out of the way before delving into new clothes.
Next up is a backpack for my 2 1/2 year old to take to camp this summer. So this book would be perfect!
I wish I could make little sun dresses for my friend's new baby but it turned out to be a boy! Still very exciting but will need to rethink my future sewing projects. Hmm… ๐
I want to sew a quilt. I would love to win this Book!

I'm getting ready to turn an old t-shirt into a tunic for my daughter. This book looks wonderful!
What a fun book. I'm probably going to make my daughter a skirt or a dress.

I'm making my son a quilt for when he moves out of his crib-using Ready, Set, Go fabric. Can't wait!
This book looks like so much fun! How many "next projects" can we list? I might have a journal full of next projects, but one that I might be coming close to doing is.. a Mother's Day gift! My Mom loooves to garden so I think I'm going to make her fake little seed packets and fabric-paint stamp the names of the flowers on them and applique the flower on with a painted stem.. so excited! I love loving my Momma! ๐
Ooh, I have had my eye on that book for a while now! My next project is actually to try some of the crib sheets you had a tutorial up for a while back…I can't wait to use some of the pretty fabric I have to make customized sheets!

My next project is to sew all of the birds from Angry Birds game for my son. I've already made the red bird, the bomb bird, and 2 pigs.
I love the apron. My 2 1/2 year old little girl could sure use a good one for gardening and crafts. I would love to sew one up for her using this pattern.
Well, I just got done doing tons of projects for my DD's 2nd birthday party (Dr. Seuss outfit, banners, tissue paper poofs, etc.) so I'm not allowed to come up with any new projects for her, only projects that have been waiting to be done. I'm going to do 9 Roman shades and a "hopefully" really cool faux tile fireplace surround. Does that count?

I'd LOVE to make that explorer vest for my 4 year old son!! I love this giveaway! ๐
My friend gave me the best idea… I'm going to make a felt mailbox and felt envelopes for my kids. I can put sweet notes in the envelopes for them and raise the flag to let them know they have mail! She made one for her daughter and it was such a hit that I can't pass it up!

My next project for my daughter is to make her a summer tote bag for the beach.
I am making matching aprons for my girls and me! Then I would love to sew some summer dresses!
My next project is a robot applique t-shirt and bib for his robot themed first birthday party!
I'm building her a tipi ASAP. I need supplies, but I know she's ready for it and I can't wait!
I'm actually planning the color-wheel quilt for bean number 4…though being due any day now, I'm planning this for post-baby. LOL!
God that book makes me sigh- such a lovely book that puppet therate is wonderful. I'm planning on sewing a teepee out of vintage op shop fabric to put next to the veggie patch for poppy my 16 mth old to play in while I plant out the garden. Going to do some bunting, a winter cape as in Melbourne it's getting really cold. Then I thought some demin flares and a pillowcase dress.
I am going to upcycle up some more t-shirt dresses for my daughter…I have a ton of old band shirts that would be so cute on her! ๐
LOVE O+S patterns! I also love Ottobre magazine and the latest issue has a cute linen dress I must make for my girly!
More knit skirts for me! Love this book!
I'm in the process of making bird wings for my granddaughter and also have fabric for two back packs cut out and partially quilted for my other two grandchildren. I would love to win this book full of things to make for them,
this book looks so cute! ๐ next projects … a few more knit dresses for the little ones!
-Sara
i'll be making a summer teepee. fun times in the backyard! or in the house on a rainy day…
I'm doing selfish sewing at the moment (for a change!), so I don't have any projects planned for my kids. I'm sure I'll make some dresses for my baby girl soon though!
For my next project, I'm going to try and make some summer hats for my boys.
My next project is going to be a pillowcase dress! Great Giveaway!

This book is definitely on my wishlist! I'm making a little stuffed bunny for my baby girl.
I was thinking of making a mei tai carrier but I think that may be too much for me. I saw a cute pattern for a stuffed bunny that I think I will try this weekend.
I have a little one arriving any day now. My head is swimming with ideas of what I want to make first. I just need to wait to find out if it's a girl or a boy! I've had this book on my want list. So excited to see you post about it.
Several dresses and skirts since my daughter is refusing to wear shorts recently. The book looks amazing!
I have some shirred summer dresses in the works for my two daughters as well as some more bow ties for my son.

I have a Mickey mouse appliqu้ shirt I need to make and I need to finish her drawstring crayon bag.
I am making a tote for my sons favorite stuffed pals to ride around in. ๐
After I finally finish my daughter's quilt, I plan on this little craft that uses knit gloves to make "quadrapus" toys for both kids. It looks like a simple but fun craft.
i found an adorable modern floral stretchy knit in the $2 section at my local fabric store, making a fun, flowy skirt for my 2 year old.
Coincidentally enough, my next project is the free dress pattern from oliver + s for my little one. I've never made her any clothes before!
I've got the sewing machine on the go at the moment! Whipping up some pillows for my new sons nursery.
The next thing I want to make is a kimono shirt for my baby son.
My next sewing project is a cute baby playmat for my friend who has just given birth this week.

My daughter was wearing her tutu all the time… It is really worn out, so I guess I'll make another (bigger better brighter) one soon ๐

My son and I visited my sister in England for spring break, and we got to visit the Liberty store. I bought some gorgeous fabric and have some cute bow ties planned.
I am working on making a little to-go changing pad and bag for wipes and a couple of diapers so I don't have to lug my whole diaper bag places!

I'm working on a quilt for my husband's cousin's tiny new baby girl =)
My 2 1/2 year old daughter refuses to wear dresses so I'm sewing her up a bunch of "Snappy Toddler Tops".
My next project is a chicka chicka boom boom tree for our learning, puzzle, project nook and alphabet letters. It should look like a fun quilt when it is finished since it is all hand-me-down 70's scraps and will be 4-5 feet tall so it is spaced around a window on our wall. I am just trying to figure out how I will attach the letters…hmmmm… Another great giveaway! Thanks!
Oh, and the above mentioned tree doesn't count the other that are half finished. *giggle*
I'm making a WWE lovey for my best friend's baby shower next weekend. One of my other friends who lives in the UK, had her baby today and they have a rather odd nursery theme of a specific Anime studio so I had to order a pillow from Ebay, take it apart to use the front of it as the center for a quilt and I need to finish it and get it mailed out.
The next thing for my daughter is a new sun hat. All three from last year are too small and it looks like it is finally warm enough to wear one!
i'm making a little softie from Meet ME at Mikes… and im coming back every day to tell you about it!
I'm trying to make a sun hat for my daughter. The two I made this week were only slightly successful, and I know the one in this book would be perfect.
My next project will be a sundress for my daughter.
I'm planning on making an owie doll for my little girl next.
My next project is a snuggler and a nappy bag for my friend who had a baby boy yesterday afternoon. Love the book.

I just finished a t-shirt dress for my best friend's daughter. My next project is a cuff wallet for my nephew. I am a beginner, so I think this book would be perfect for me.
I have a million projects lined up! The one that I will tackle next is adding ruffles to the bottom of some 24mo pants so that my 2t girl can still wear them. Make it work!!! ๐
such a sweet book! next on the list: baby doll diapers and pants for my girls- thanks to Prudent Baby tutorials!
My next project is actually a pillowcase dress for our upcoming baby girl using the Prudent Baby tutorial. How's that for brown-nosing?
I've just finished some baby bloomers and matching shoes for my 4-month old niece. Next I might do a bit of scrap-busting and make her some one-of-a-kind toys… although everything is going in he mouth right now so fabric might not be the best option… hmmmmmmmmmmm
a felt tool set from that book you featured a while ago.
I like the giveaway!

I am making my little girl a bunch of summer skirts. I would love this book!
I am planning to make another Lazy Days Skirt (one of Liesl's free patterns). I made one for my daughter a couple of years ago (it was simple and so satisfying to sew–and she loved it since I used leftover fabric from a skirt I had made for myself) and with spring finally in the air I'm going to whip up another one for her!
P.S. Don't worry, we didn't wear our matching skirts at the same time!
I just made a black gingham peasant tunic for my toddler and I bought some yellow cotton to make shorts to go with it. I'm excited because I think the combo will be totally cute!
I need to sew my daughters some knit dresses. That is all they want to wear.
the bucket hat is next in line for me. i'd love to own this book!
For my daughter's 3rd birthday she wants a dollhouse. I need to start building one soon.
What a fun and beautiful book. Thanks for the chance to win.
I've got to make something "boy" to keep things fair – I'm thinking superhero costume, followed by everything in this book!!
I intend to make some pajamas!
My next project is not for my little one but for my cousin's soon to be little one. I'm going to be making Anna Maria Horner's nesting blocks.
Would love to win this book! Thanks for the chance.

My sister just ordered the book and I want it too. My project this week is sewing some shorts for my older daughter!!! She needs summer stuff, BAD!!!
I'm planning costumes for a jungle party next month. Yikes! It's May 1st … Guess it's this month! Better get to workin!!
Next project for a little one? Another sun hat! Made one for my youngest, now of course my older son wants one, too.
I just tweeted the giveaway @tharshesews
As of Sunday I will be the proud godmother of the most beautiful baby girl so NEED this book to make her some equally beautiful gifts ๐
The other day I came upon my 2 year old meticulously putting an imaginary diaper on his baby…apparently my next project should be making a few additional diapers for my sons perpetually naked (to my eyes, apparently he wears pretend clothes) baby doll.
I have been working on peasant tops for my soon to be daughter all week. I think my next project is to start on some tunic tops. I think the pattern alteration shouldn't be too hard to figure out! Since I am getting a lot of hand-me downs for baby, I have been focusing all of my energy on toddler things. Yay to planning ahead!
Oh my gosh I want, want, want this book! It looks adorable & like so much fun! I have an Amazon credit so I will have to go get me one ๐
I'd love to see this book in person! There are so many great projects to choose from here.
I have a lot of things "planned" as we are expecting our 3rd little one in last then a month. I want blankets, bibs, burp cloths…I'm not sure they will get done. ๐
During her afternoon nap I will be making her a pair of knickers from your fab free pattern and a bandanna/sun hat to go with the summer dress I made last night. I am so excited to have found your site – there'll be no stopping me and my sewing machine now!
I'm thinking about surprising my husband and daughter some matching sun hats for her birthday (What's up, 3-year-old?!). They always end up in similar outfits without knowing what the other is wearing, they both love hats, and I have no doubt they will wear the heck out of 'em. After that, I'm going to make her some bloomers. Bloomers! I can't wait!
I LOVE sewing books! They are fabulous to look at, read, and create beautiful things. Thanks for the chance! bugruder (at) gmail (d0t) com
A sun dress for my baby girl. That's next up on my ever growing list of things to make for her.

I want to make a dress for my 3 month old daughter who will soon be out of her harness (to treat hip dysplasia) and able to wear regular clothes!
My next project: finish the 8 million bibs I've started! They just need velcro, so it's not a huge project. And then: a stuffed animal or some clothes. Baby's not even here yet, though, so no huge rush.
My next project is a ruffle one shoulder dress for my 3 year old daughter. Love this book
I really would love to make my son a book bag, and I believe this book has a pattern for one!

Also, I have a free pattern from Oliver + S, and love it!
i want to make a dress for my baby girl. my first one! wish me luck! ๐
I have a seedling of an idea growing in my mind of a peacock costume for little one, Milo. He loves birds and he would be adorable as a little blue peacock this Halloween. Better than last years' hand me down bumblebee costume.
Pretty lame: but I have to replace the elastic in my son's cloth diapers. Once it's done, hopefully less leaks…ugh.
