We had a quiet February over at P4P, but don’t think we weren’t working on some goodies behind-the-scenes! Meet the newest top in the Patterns for Pirates lineup: the Cross My Heart Cami.

Planets Galore Fabric by Snowy Owl Customs
I love sewing for Louis. But that’s pretty obvious. But I especially love sewing for Louis when I get to use awesome fabric that feeds his interests. It’s probably our fault, but Louis loves all things space. And this new fabric from Snowy Owl Customs is totally Lou’s style!
Mama Isabel by Made for Mermaids
Allow me to introduce you to the baby-making pattern of the century. I mean…to the cutest wrap dress/top pattern you’ll own. Made for Mermaids seriously nailed it with this one. Meet: Mama Isabel!
Patterns for Pirates Boyfriend Vneck
I’ve committed one of the biggest sins, being a Pirate girl. I never made myself a Boyfriend Vneck. I bought the pattern a million years ago, always intended to make it happen….and then never got around to it. Officially, I can be taken off the naughty list! I also don’t know what took me so long to make one of these….sorry Judy!
Thread Therapy Fabric
Erin from Thread Therapy Fabrics contacted me about her new round of custom prints and asked if I wanted to sew something up with her geometric roses. Yes, girl. YES. Of course. I am a huge sucker for a geo print and I ADORE floral fabrics. Sign me up!
Monaluna | Simple Life Blog Tour
Gemia (Phat Quarters) and Kelly (Handmade Boy) contacted me about this tour and I jumped at the opportunity. An all boys tour? With fun, new, boy-friendly fabrics? Yes, yes, yes!
I wasn’t familiar with Monaluna fabrics until now, but I am so glad that I’ve been introduced! Based in California, it’s a husband-wife team of independent fabric designers, who specialize in organic fabrics with fresh, modern designs. Their newest line “Simple Life” is darling and perfectly geared toward the boys…yet still totally appropriate for all ages and genders.
Boys Can Wear Pink :: Season 3
We’re baaaaaaack! Today is the kickoff of Boys Can Wear Pink: Season 3. It’s one of my favorite tours ever. Not only for my love of breaking down gender stereotypes one blog post at a time, but also because BCWP was my first ever blog tour to be in, two years ago. Fun, right? (Also I love Kelly from Handmade Boy and will practically do anything that woman asks of me.)
Big Nice Wolf
Louis was home due to a school break on Friday, Bennett was at school all day, and I was home with Lou….trying to get some work done while having him in my studio. It wasn’t an easy task. So many requests and distractions. And he spilled his drink on my cutting table THREE times. Three. It was a red drink and it got everywhere. Three times, it got everywhere.
Instead of getting angry and freaking out like I wanted to, I decided to task Louis with designing his own outfit that we could make together. He checked out the fabrics that I had laying around, grabbed some markers and got to designing. After crossing out three of his illustrations, he came up with this. So cute.
Sew, What Do I Wear? | P4P + M4M Valentine’s Day Tour
Made for Mermaids and Patterns for Pirates had so much fun on our last tour that we decided to do it again! “Sew, What Do I Wear?” is back for another round, and this time it’s all about Valentine’s Day outfits. Fun, right?
Watcha Wearing January | Week 4
I’m back for my fourth and final week of sharing the handmade pieces that I’ve managed to wear over the last week. Tibeca of Sewing by Ti is hosting this blogging series all month long…and my take on it is to show just how easy it is to wear something handmade every day.
Let’s get started!
Pizza + Doughnuts
I was sent some fabrics by RP Custom Fabrics and seriously couldn’t wait to stitch them up into something for Louis and me. (Sorry Bennett, you’ve been left out again.) RP is running a line of pre-order fabrics right now that is called “Happy or Hungry” and is filled with fun prints of foods like doughnuts, pizza, hamburgers, tacos, and various candies.
I was sent the “jumbo sized” versions of doughnuts and pizza and here’s what I made out of them!
Watcha Wearin January | Week 3
I’m back for my third week of sharing what handmade pieces I wore over the last seven days. Tibeca of Sewing by Ti is hosting this blogging series all month long. Whatcha Wearin January, for me, is just a visual way to show how easy it is to incorporate handmade into your daily wears.
Let’s get to it!
