Bringing the Peg Factor, with the Xfactor Crop by P4P
I’d just like to preface these photos by saying that I find myself accidentally dressing like Peg Bundy all the time. And it’s not my fault. I have red hair and I love leopard prints right now….so it just kind of happens naturally. However, these...
Sage by Made for Mermaids
Get ready to have all of your colorblocking wishes come true. Because the new Sage dress pattern from Made for Mermaids is what dreams are made of. Seriously. During testing, the sewists in the group could not stop making more and more of these dresses. I wish...
Dress for Comfort and Style with the P4P Runabout Romper!
It’s still a release week over at Patterns for Pirates and I’m sharing another version of the Runabout Romper that I created during testing. You can see the shorts/tank romper that I shared earlier on this post. This time around, I’m showcasing the...
Summer Ready with the Runabout Romper by P4P
I’ve never thought of myself as a romper girl. Something about a top-to-bottom outfit that isn’t a dress just messes with my head and I’m not always ready for it. The thing is…testing new patterns always pushes me outside of my typical style...
May the 4th Be With You, 2020
Next to Halloween, today is my favorite holiday ever. May the 4th Be With You, my friends. Every year, I look forward to making new themed outfits for the three of us to wear. But let’s be honest with ourselves…I make Star Wars clothing year round. ...
We Can Sew It! :: FREE Silhouette + Cricut Cut Files!

Flutter Sleeves and Foxy Floral
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! By all means, this is the most interesting version of a holiday that the world is going through right now, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate a little bit. And wear green while we’re doing it, of...
Baby, I’m Completely Wrapped Up In You :: An Ode to the new P4P Flutter Wrap pattern

“Hey Baby” Yoda-Inspired Design :: FREE Silhouette + Cricut Cut Files!

Yoda One for Me :: FREE Yoda-Inspired Zipper Pouch Pattern + Tutorial!

Make a New Friend (or Three!) with P4P Plushie Pals!
It’s another exciting day for me in the world of sewing, because I was able to design and release a new pattern with Patterns for Pirates. And it’s a FREEBIE! I’ve probably mentioned it before, but it’s been an incredibly fun and challenging...
A Brushed (P4P Oversized) Sweater is Even Better!
The Oversized Sweater is taking the P4P sewists by storm and I’m for sure part of the hype. The pattern lives up to it’s name, with the incredibly roomy silhouette, but it also is incredibly roomy for how many different versions you can make...
Oversized: Waffle Knits + P4P’s New Sweater Pattern
Today, I am going to be talking with you about waffle knits and the oversized trend. And how it’s maybe kinda sorta growing on me but I’m just not quite there yet. Even though I want to be because everyone looks so stinking cute in their...
Leopard is a Neutral, but this Sporty Piko is Not Even Close
I would never forgive myself if I didn’t share this version of the Sporty Piko with you. Much like this version, I sewed it up during testing and then let the pictures go to waste on my computer. Whomp whomp. But guess what 2019 Katy? 2020 Katy is here and...
