S is for SEWING

It’s time for another round of Sewing with Boys – Girl Edition.

The lovely ladies at Sewing with Boys have created another amazing e-Book, this time with a back to school theme.  You may wonder why I keep joining these boy sewing tours, but the answer is simple: they take “boy” styles and jazz them up with ALL THE DETAILS.  For girls you can make an a-line skirt special by adding ruffles or bows, but for boys you need to have a little more imagination.  And this ‘S’ is for Sewing e-book is full of a ton of special little details any boy or girl would love.

I chose to sew the Radical Raglan Hoodie from Knot Sew Normal.  Right away you can see some fun details, right?
That cross over closure is a great design feature and perfect for a woven accent fabric you’ve been saving up.  The pattern is meant for knit fabrics with ribbing at the sleeve cuffs and hemline and woven placket/accents, which means there’s lots of room for personalizing your hoodie.
Of course for Bean, personalizing means purple.  And more purple.  I finally settled on this star sweatshirt knit that I planned to use last summer and never did.  It has more stretch than some sweatshirt knits so it worked great for this pattern.  I like that the arms have a slim look to them without being too snug.  This is the size 4t with no alterations and it’s a great fit.
Bean was so excited to find a feather in the backyard this morning so we had to get lots of pics showing the feather, hehe.
The pockets are another place you could add some fun fabric, but I stuck with the star knit with the purple woven for the lining to keep it toned down.  The star fabric is so busy on its own that I didn’t want to add too much to this hoodie.  I did topstitch the pocket curves (and most of the other seams as well) in place using the Janome CoverPro 1000CPX which I think makes it look so professional.
She LOVES her new hoodie which will be great for cool autumn days so I’m happy to check yet another item off the school clothes list!
So run quick to get your own S is for Sewing e-Book and get started sewing some super fun pieces for the detail lover in your life!  And check out the rest of the tour and get a look at some of the other cool patterns in the e-book on the Sewing with Boys site.

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, itโ€™s now turned into an 80โ€™s rocker look with how spikey it all is on top and the extra length in back๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† 
But we LOVE this Journal Jumpsuit from @jennuinedesign and she LOVES wearing it to jump on the couch. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Sheโ€™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?  Iโ€™m super excited about everyone sharing more of the Project Lounge Library collection and the freebies weโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Thereโ€™s a whole Percy Jackson collection inside there along with three other (heavy) books, so itโ€™s a nice sturdy tote that holds plenty!

Well itโ€™s not as many books as Iโ€™ve read in pa Well itโ€™s not as many books as Iโ€™ve read in past years, nor did I reach my (what I thought was an easy) minimum goal of 50, but then again all that was set back in January before I knew Iโ€™d have very little time to myself for 3/4 of the year ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคช 
I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
Some were book club reads and some were suggestions from Instagram friends, but I really enjoyed them all. Of course the new Louise Penny was my favorite ๐Ÿ˜

I made a last minute Christmas present hooded towe I made a last minute Christmas present hooded towel for the baby using this pretty floral C3, sparkle Cuddleยฉ for the binding, and the super luxe feeling @shannonfabrics waffle terry. Itโ€™s a quick sew and the baby needed a hooded towel so now sheโ€™s all set. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• 

Also our baby is two years old now ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญso I made the squares 1yd x 1yd instead of 28โ€ x 28โ€ in the pattern. Otherwise itโ€™s the free pattern from the Shannon Fabrics website ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

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.
