Sew Americana Tour – A 4th of July Crossroads

It’s time for this summer’s Sew Americana Tour hosted by the lovely Wild & Wanderful! ย I love seeing all the red, white, and blue on this tour and this year I finally used up the last of my faded blue with white stars fabric that I’ve had in my stash for years.

Americana Crossroads This blue fabric has been so well loved over the years so I’m happy to have the final garment be a Crossroads tunic which should fit Bean for a year or two as long as she grows up more than out, hehe.

Americana Crossroads When I was designing the Crossroads Dress pattern, I had already envisioned a 4th of July version for Bean and these fabrics worked out just as I pictured. ย I can’t believe the 4th is next week already, and even more unbelievable is that her outfit has been finished for over a month, hehe.

This tunic length Crossroads Dress is paired with last year’s Paneled Sunsuit shorts which are a little shorter now than I’d probably like on this long legged six year old. ย You know what that means? ย More Paneled Sunsuit inspiration must be around the corner, cause Bean needs new shorts!

    What is it with kids always wanting to grow out of the clothes we make them? Don’t they know better? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    This outfit is adorable, Ajaire! This was a perfect use of your new pattern, girlfriend!

Works great together for dancewear or sport and as separates for casualwear.  The Cami & Crop are also able to made as swimwear ๐Ÿ˜, but FYI this pattern doesn't include a swim bottom. (I do have a FREE #classicmaillotswimskirt available in the shop though ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ) 
Depending on the fabrics, the crop can also be used as an undergarment bralette.
The Diamondback Cami & Crop and view A of the Diamondback Leggings require fold-over elastic.  You can use any knit for both patterns with at least 75% stretch, but the leggings need 4-way stretch.  Sizing nb-16years

We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weeke We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weekend!  We avoided crowds, wore masks everywhere, and got take out from town instead of eating buffet (๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) We were a little nervous, but the hotel itself was doing a great job managing things in a safe manner and we were more impressed than we expected, even though we spent the majority of the time alone together in our room ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† 
Itโ€™s amazing what a change of scenery can do for your spirit and the girls LOVED being able to spend the time away from school and work distractions 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.
