Chevron Fleece {Project Run and Play}

I’m excited to be done with Outerwear week at Project Run & Play by Thursday afternoon instead of taking it down to the wire Friday morning like I have the past few weeks.  I knew when they first announced the theme weeks in December that Outerwear would be one I enjoyed. 

For Christmas, Bean got a nice L.L. Bean fleece suit that she’s been wearing which we love.  It’s fits nicely now, but she’s growing like crazy so I want to have a back up for when her arms and legs inevitably outgrow her current one. The fit is loose now, but it’s exactly as I was hoping it would turn out.  Lots of room to grow!

A couple of years ago I did a promotion on black Friday for Macy’s and Ocean Spray.  They gave me a gigantic bright blue fleece to wear and since it had both of their logos on the front AND didn’t fit I knew I’d never wear it again. 

But there was so much of this nice fleece that of course I couldn’t just throw it away.  So add it to the stash I did and it turned out it was perfect for this project.  I forgot to take a pic before I cut it all up, but you get the idea, hehe. 

I added some purple fleece that I had small pieces of in my stash.  My mother once gave me a big bag o’ fleece bits that she got from who knows where.  There are some good pieces in there, but also a lot of crap.  I found this nice purple color that I thought would make the fleece jumpsuit a little more girly.

I had fun making a chevron on the front and on the back of the fleece.  So even though the color combo feels very 80’s snow suit to me, I was hoping the chevrons would give some interest and modernity to it!  I also used a green blue knit fabric in my stash for the hand, foot, and head edges hoping for the same effect.  There was something about that color blue and the pastel purple that killed me until I added the green blue to it.  That helped bring it back to 2012.  Or at least it did for me, hehe.

You’ll also notice above that I used a two way zipper for the front so that I can easily change Bean’s diaper without unzipping the top of the jumpsuit.  That makes me feel a little better about those occasional chilly car seat changes.

I brought Bean outside to take a few pictures and she was SO happy to be out.  She loves being outdoors and we haven’t done it too much in the past few weeks due to weather.  I am looking forward to the spring when we can be outside almost every day.

In other news… she’s sitting up on her own now which is cute, hehe.

The following pics were barely taken before she was trying to take off.  Even though you can tell the arms and legs are too long, it didn’t seem to impede her!

Lastly, I did crochet her a hat too, but I forgot to bring it outside with us.  Oh well, it’s just as cute on her inside, hehe.

    I think she's channeling Jack Tripper again with the tracksuit. Too bad it's fleece and not velour πŸ™‚

Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morni Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morning she just started counting to ten on her own πŸ˜†πŸ˜† She was star struck watching herself on the camera so she didn’t go past five here, but in person she rolls right past ten and tries for 11 and 12 😍😍
You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. After waiting literal years for her hair to grow in, it’s now turned into an 80’s rocker look with how spikey it all is on top and the extra length in backπŸ˜†πŸ˜† 
But we LOVE this Journal Jumpsuit from @jennuinedesign and she LOVES wearing it to jump on the couch. 😬😬😍😍She’s a real talker these days so I had to use the Story Teller cut file, also from the Lounge Library collection.  Check out @projectrunandplay for the details on the sale on this pattern this week only!
Fabric is a lush French terry from @knitfabricdotcom and the contrast is a solid from @wolfandrabbitfabrics

Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandpla Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandplay details yet?  I’m super excited about everyone sharing more of the Project Lounge Library collection and the freebies we’re offering!  First up is this perfectly sized book tote from @jennuinedesign. My girl LOVED the one I made from the second she saw it Christmas morning!  The cut file design is also from the collection as well as her nightgown 😍😍
There’s a whole Percy Jackson collection inside there along with three other (heavy) books, so it’s a nice sturdy tote that holds plenty!

I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. πŸ’•πŸ’•

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
