For the next week, you’ll receive 20% off your order when you purchase any Oliver + S products (patterns, Modern Workshop fabric packs, even the book) from our website.

Use coupon code SUMMER2011 when checking out to receive your discount.

Here’s the fine print: this offer is good July 21, 2011 through July 29, 2011 and applies to retail purchases of Oliver + S products only. You must use the coupon code at checkout to receive the discount. Discounts are not available on past orders, and the discount is only good on in-stock items while quantities last.

We hope you’ll use this as inspiration to do a little summer sewing for a little someone in your life.

Now that school is out for the summer, S is keeping busy for a couple of weeks with play dates and her summer reading list before she gets on a plane to spend time at the lake with her grandparents.

In the meantime, we’re renovating the studio to get ready for some filming we’ll be doing there later this month (more on that soon). S stopped by the other day and offered to chip in by sweeping up some sawdust.

The apron is from Little Things to Sew, made up in prints from Modern Workshop. This was left over from a class I taught at Farmhouse Fabrics a few months ago and, like most of my sewing these days, I never took the time to photograph it afterwards.

It’s clearly getting some good use, however; just before school ended it also served as a paleontologist uniform for some kindergarten dinosaur digging!
