Sewing Knit Basics – a Blog Tour

You guys know how much I love Thread Faction Studio patterns and the Girls Tank and Pants Set just released doesn’t disappoint.  Along with the pattern release Liz has also released a FREE YouTube Learn to Sew Knits miniseries and an additional video specifically detailing the steps of the #123 Girls Tank and Pants Set.

Girls Tank and Pants Set

Let’s talk about this fantastic Tank and Pants Set, starting with the tank.  This is pretty much the perfect basic tank for girls.  It would be great as an undershirt, but also has enough coverage to wear as a summer staple tank.  I see MANY more of these in our future.

Girls Tank and Pants Set The Pants are a comfortable fit with elastic at the waist and bands at the legs.  The shape is modest and could be used as underwear, as play pants for under a skirt, or (most likely how my girl will use them) as part of a great lounging around the house play set.

Girls Tank and Pants Set Both were sewn in size 7 and the fit is just right.  I’m thrilled that the pattern goes up to size 10 because we’ll definitely use this pattern many more times.  I had tanks with this exact shape as a kid and it just screams summer to me so I can’t wait to stitch up a few next year!

Girls Tank and Pants Set If you have any worries about working with knit fabric (like this soft white jersey my girl and I used as a base for Tie-Dyeing last week from Wolf and Rabbit), Liz has you covered.  She has started a YouTube channel for Thread Faction and will be posting various Thread Faction Sewn episodes.  In her first episode of Thread Faction Sewn she highlights the Girls Tank and Pants Set which is also full of tips and has me eagerly anticipating future episodes!  Also just released is a FREE Learn to Sew Knits miniseries which is fantastic.  There are five mini episodes and each covers a specific skill – seams, bands, hems, bindings, and elastic – to get you up and running with knit sewing.  There’s a lot of great beginner info packed into those mini episodes, but even if you’re familiar with knits you have to check them out cause Liz has some fun tips and is hilarious.

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 😆😆 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 back😆😆 
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!

Well it’s not as many books as I’ve read in pa Well it’s not as many books as I’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 I’d have very little time to myself for 3/4 of the year 😆🤪 
I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. 💕💕
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 😍

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.
