Spring has Sprung blog tour Day 5: Max California and Sew Jereli
First up today in day 5 of our Spring has Sprung blog tour is Ari from Max California. Seriously, if you do nothing else, please go and read her about page. Hil-lair-rious!!
She has two gorgeous little ones – Edison and Vincent – and makes gorgeous clothes for them. I’m so lucky she joined our little blog tour as she does quite a few of them! Thank you Ari. It is certainly worth looking at her interpretations of the different pattern blog tours she has been part of. Always something just a little different, ya know?!?
Ari is sharing with us a tutorial for, in her own words, this ‘ ridiculously frilly girly tee‘.


Toni from Sew Jereli is joining Ari today (just realized they were matched together for the Prefontaine Shorts World Tour recently – total fluke!). Toni sews for her two gorgeous boys but shares all sorts of sewing tips and tricks and tutorials along the way (like these pj pants). I really want to join her in the ‘Make the Basics‘ challenge, even more so since making the shirt for my son which I blogged about on Sunday. I had some gorgeous knit fabric arrive last night and plan to make some more soon.
Toni sent me a little sneak peek of the fabric which she is using to make something for herself with for Spring. Fantastic! I really should do something for myself. One day …
Patterns Only Giveaway
The amazing Louise from The Oz Material Girls has also donated a prize from Patterns Only for today’s giveaway.

Patterns Only sell both paper and pdf patterns and with over 2,000 epatterns, I’m sure you will have a hard time choosing 10 for this prize! I know I would.
For this giveaway, you need to head to the website (link for just the epatterns) and tell me which pattern you would like to choose for a Spring project and why. I’m judging based on creativity, so I want to know if you are trying something new, sewing something for yourself, have a baby on the way and need a new shirt or whatever!
