The news this morning was a hard one to wake up to.  My heart hurts for the families, first responders, Las Vegas community, and our great nation.  I’ll try to keep my political opinions out of this as much as I can, but it’s pretty obvious that things like this shouldn’t continue to happen.

We’ve spent all summer sewing and putting out woven fabric patterns over at Patterns for Pirates, and today is the final day of our “P4P Summer of Wovens”!  Woot!  We are celebrating the end of the woven sewing season with a FREE pattern for you guys, and one that will work for the entire family. 

Really, the WHOLE family.  It’s a unisex pant pattern in youth and adult sizes and covers from 3M – Plus 3X.  Not bad, eh?

Before I start with any of this, let me give you some major disclaimers.
All machines featured in this post were given to be my their respective companies.
— I have owned a Silhouette Cameo (the original version) since 2009, so I am more familiar with the software…but I have spent A LOT of time recently using the Cricut products just so I could get an honest handle on them.  My son’s birthday party decorations, etc were 100% Cricut created, specifically for this blog post.
— All opinions are my own, and based upon my own experiences.  I’m aware your thoughts can/will be different.  And that’s okay.  These are just mine.

I used to be the best WVU fan ever.  EVER.  Never missed a game, always knew the players and the current season standings, and all of that good stuff.  And then we had a baby and started our own businesses and life got in the way…and I’m officially the worst sports fan ever.

I’m trying to be better this year, Mountaineers.  I swear I am.
But when I decided that this week’s Feature Friday theme over at Thread & Grain would be football….I needed a shirt that represented my poor sports fan-ing abilities.

What?  Another P4P pattern release day?  Oh my stars!
I think you’re going to be happy with this one too, friends…because it’s a WOVEN dolman pattern.  Which means it’s quick, easy, and you can use your woven apparel fabrics that you’ve been hoarding without a plan for it.  Let’s talk about the new Brunch Blouse!

My Mom is 100% to blame for my love of Halloween.  She brought that love way back when we were kids.  The decorations, the creative costumes, the over the top kitschy element of it…everything is fabulous.  When we were growing up, Momma used to dress up in full character of a witch and visit our classrooms, to create a “witches brew” show for everyone.
