Have you guys heard? Made for Mermaids is doing a sew-a-long for the Ella + Mama Ella patterns all next week! So fun, right? Sew-a-longs are just a little way for hundreds of people to sew the same thing, at the same time, and feel like you have sewing buddies making the same thing alongside you…as well as get a lot of inspiration, tips and hacks.
I’m here to share one of the extras that is coming next Wednesday: a flutter sleeve add-on!
I was contacted by the BackStitch Fabrics team about sewing some strike-offs for them. Before even really seeing what they wanted me to sew up…I was in. They have some really bold, funky designs and I thought it’d be fun to play along with them!
To find out that their round this time was Halloween themed AND I’d get some Edgar Allan Poe inspired designs was just bonus.
Summer is quickly approaching…which means we need to kick our sewing into a new gear and make some dresses for the warmer weather ahead! Good thing Team Mermaid has got your back with their latest release: Mama Sommer.
Those girls over at RP Custom Fabrics sent me some more strikeoffs to sew up and I finally get to share what I made! They are running a round of fabrics with inspiration drawn from some cult classic movies (Pretty Woman, Pretty in Pink and Breakfast At Tiffany’s). I was sent some of Tiffany’s Damask and this is what I stitched up!
Hey hey! I get to reveal my April BeeBox fabric make from Vinegar + Honey Co today! (Confession: this fabric reached me yesterday and I’ve already made and worn my new outfit. I guess I was a little excited, haha.)
This month was another fabric that I wouldn’t necessarily pick for myself, but i adore the end results, so I’m glad that it was sent to me! Comfort zone be damned!
Lou’s school is having a “Student Appreciation Week” this week…and today happened to be Wacky Wednesday. Given the opportunity, I would never pass up a chance to make something silly and in theme! After a little bit of debating last night, we picked out six fabrics and whipped up this raglan before bedtime.
Pretty wacky, right? (Is it weird that I can tell you where all of those fabrics are from??)
Such an INCREDIBLE thing that we get to share about today! Patterns for Pirates has reach 50,000 fans in our Facebook group. INSANITY! To celebrate, we’ve got a few things going on.
First, we have a big ole sale happening. Use code “50KSale” to get a whopping 30% off your purchase, through April 25th. Head on over and get your pattern shopping on! And second, we updated the ever-famous Peg Legs leggings pattern with SO MUCH EXTRA STUFF!
Hey-o! It’s another Patterns for Pirates release day. And this one is going to be a new FAVORITE of yours. Pun totally intended. The Favorite Tee has an insane amount of options, and we shook it up this time to include a few new styles!
Eep! I’m excited to share my Spring Capsule with you guys for a few reasons. Number one, I actually finished it. Which is a feat in itself. Number two, I didn’t follow the rules of the #sewminicapsule but I did make a legit sudoku capsule, so I’m loving all of the graphics I was able to create. And number three, I just love being able to share boys’ wardrobes. I feel like little girls get the most attention with clothing, and it’s fun to infuse some boy clothes into the mix of things. Here we go!
My sister was planning a visit with her two babies and I COULD NOT resist making them coordinating outfits. It just needed to happen. And is there seriously a better trio of characters to turn them into than the newest heroes from the Star Wars Universe? I seriously had so much fun making these outfits.
Like always, I wanted to make sure the clothes were wearable after the fact…but still a form of cosplay. It’s my “everyday cosplay” style that i love to put Louis in. And I LOVE how they turned out!
Subscription boxes are near and dear to my heart. I just love surprise mail…especially when it’s in fabric form. Sometimes, you get something you’d never order for yourself and it helps put you outside of your comfort zone, or forces you to be a little extra creative. This was my first month of receiving the BeeBox from Vinegar + Honey Co and I LOVED what was inside!
Good lord, Louis needs some clothes for the upcoming change in seasons. Badly. Kiddo has grown so much and his entire closet has been cleared of things that are too short for him. Nothing is more motivating to get sewing done than a capsule challenge, and I’m super happy that Megan and Judy decided to put together the Spring Mini Capsule!
