Roly-Poly Art Smock

During Imagine Gnats’ winter pattern tour Tara from Girl Like the Sea posted an art smock made with the Roly-Poly Top (*affiliate link) pattern.  I basically slapped my forehead when I read the post because OF COURSE.  It’s the perfect simple smock pattern.

Bean and I are taking an art class through the county and she needed a smock.  I jumped to my machine and whipped out a Roly-Poly smock in record time.  The main fabric is more of that fun Tidny fabric from Ikea and I thought it was perfect as a blank slate for all the art supplies that will end up on it, hehe.

I made the pinafore according to the pattern instructions, including the pockets.  Bean still doesn’t seem interested in pockets, but they are super easy to do so I figured I’d add them anyway.

The smock is reversible, but really I’m sure she’ll wear it with the coloring fabric out most often.  The blue fabric is a sateen from JoAnn.  I’ve had it in my stash and the rest of it may become some pants soon (this week??).

I really love the color and I’ve had great results with their sateen fabric in the past.  The smock doesn’t cover her arms, but offers more than enough protection for the class.

This is such a perfect KCW project.  Super fast with really fun results.  Definitely doable in the hour time frame.

Although a lot of us end up doing way more than an hour right?  I have a long list in my head of things I want to make this week so I’m sure it’ll be more than one for me.

I’m excited about the class.  We were supposed to start last week, but it was canceled due to snow so today is our first day.  Bean is hoping we’ll be using “paint-glue” which I believe her way of telling me that those two separate things are so foreign to her that she has combined them in her head.  Note to self: we need to do more crafts at home and step outside our coloring comfort zone, hehe.

    It's a perfect art smock! I love the teal under too. I have yet to see this fabric at my IKEA, but I look whenever I venture out there! What fun taking an art class. I'm sure she'll love it- my kids love all things glue/glitter/paint. -Rachel

The new Cloud Cuddle© from @shannonfabrics is inc The new Cloud Cuddle© from @shannonfabrics is incredibly soft on both sides, which made it perfect for a new layering piece. 💕💕
It has just enough stretch for the Chromium Cropped Sweatshirt, but I needed to cut the neckband on the bias to make sure it would stretch over her head. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
She wouldn’t stop petting her arms and talking about just how soft it is. 😍😍

Well, it’s been awhile, but Designs by Call Ajai Well, it’s been awhile, but Designs by Call Ajaire has a new pattern that’s ready for testing!! 
Meet the Morgana Zip-Up/Cover-Up in sizes nb-16 years.  This is the perfect beach/pool cover up and was designed for minimal stretch knits, so french terry, cuddle minky, sweatshirting are all great options here.  Other knits could be used, but YMMV.

Testing will begin Wednesday the 26th and end May 6th.  This is a relatively short turn-around, but the block has been used in the past and I’m not anticipating much in the way of fit changes.  If you’d like to test, just fill out this google form (in profile). Thanks!!

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. Read More…
