Clover Maxi Hack & Giveaway
Oh Clover, you have been my most recurring pdf pattern. I have made Clover Child, Clover Tween, Clover Dress add-on Child, Clover Dress add-on Tween and now Clover Dress Misses pattern. I have also hacked Clover into a top and now I want to share with you how you use the original sewing pattern and turn the Clover Dress into a maxi length dress. Below I will have measurements for all size ranges Child, Tween and Misses.
But before we get down to business, here are some maxi dress photo inspirations…
Clover as a maxi is just so dreamy!!!
Fabric Details:

How to Assemble the Maxi Skirt:
-Cut your skirt according to the charts below.
-Sew the front and back skirt side seams together with a 1/2" seam allowance just as you did with the Hi Lo skirt.
-Follow the tutorial instructions just as you were sewing the Hi Lo skirt. Hem, with a 1/4", 1/4" seam allowance. So simple, right?!!

We have a tradition of watching the movie Elf with the family while we decorate the tree and drink hot cocoa.
Winter is all about, cuddling up as a family, wiggly bums and all. with the heating on (when my boiler is being compliant) hotchoc, being nagged to play pie face instead of using the cream to make our hotchoc immense, oh well we have marshmallows 😁🙄. getting the pooch Pepper and our cat Amara to sit tolarating one another for the sakes of lap loves. Lol.
Kids coming home straight in their fleecy onsies and fluffy slippers, Listening to all the dramas and adventures the kids are experienced at school. plenty of book readin, music blasting , hot roast dinners or pot roasts. (Beer or spirits in hand aka adult sain juice ) to endure the minor distractment of the children wrestling for each others belongings whilst making noises reminiscent of those I hear in the zoo.
Winter is about getting home early to warm blankets, happy children and pets (saying that it’s only the dog that looks pleased to see me of the two). Well whatever I love them dearly nonetheless.
Wrapping our arms around our loved ones, not just for affection but to aquire some of their body heat.
We have Christmas and snow (occasionally to look forward too, mostly rain but im optimistic) and of course given every opportunity to get on my sewing machine which when done due fo minimal movement during this time, get to warm my corpse feet on my partner when I finally get into my cosy bed. 😁

I love sitting on our sun room during a winter snowfall watching the snowflakes lighted up by out outside lights.
My favorite winter activity is sliding down a hill on a child’s plastic saucer! My 60-year-old self loves the giggles that pop out spontaneously while sliding. Reminds me of winters in the 1960s when my family would drive to Lake Tahoe to play in the snow, some trips up to a whole week of snow play!!
