Very Peri Pantone Party

Can I tell you how excited I am about Very Peri, this year’s Pantone color of the year? Around here we’ve been all about purple for years and with Bean leaning more toward blue lately, this periwinkle color is just perfect. Jumping onto the Project Run & Play Pantone Party was a no-brainer.

The first thing I did was to go to my sponsor, KnitFabric.com and search for periwinkle colored fabrics in order to make a plan. The top item was a periwinkle cotton/lycra solid that I knew I could use to pull both looks together. Amy’s solid C/L’s are always soft and have a good stretch/recovery, so I was confident in choosing this one first.

Very Peri Bean Back

The next fabric that caught my eye was this cool Blue & Purple Tie Dye cotton lycra, that I knew Bean would love. With two fabrics chosen, I decided to go over to the PR&P shop and see what patterns might work with cotton/lycra and how I could fill in some gaps in the girls’ wardrobes. There are so many great knit patterns in the shop, but I quickly narrowed it down to a few dress/top designs.

Very Peri Bean Front

The Via Top, Tunic, & Dress pattern from Sofilantjes looked like a great pattern to try for Bean. Quick sew, fun colorblocking, and an easy-fit shape were the qualities that sold me on this one. I sewed a size 10 with slight blending out to 11 at the hip and length and the fit is just right. I’ve sewn plenty of Sofilantjes patterns in the past, so I knew I could count on the size chart going in.

Very Peri Bean Back

I needed one more fabric to get the colorblocking right and I wanted something that could make the tie-dye pop. These stof stripes in periwinkle would do the trick. I thought putting them on the bias at a diagonal would add a little fun to those side strips and Bean loved how it turned out.

Very Peri Kitty front

For Kitty’s look I went straight to the gorgeous trees in this Enchanted Forest cotton/lycra. This one is low on stock and I wish I had grabbed more! The purples, blues, and pinks are perfectly complimented by the greens of this print and I adore it.

Very Peri Kitty Front Hood

The Foliis Jacket and Dress pattern, again by Sofilantjes was too cute to pass up. I love the hood combined with the zip up front. This is a size 2t with 3t length and the fit is just right. It’s such a great design and I can’t wait to sew the jacket views too.

Very Peri Kitty Close Up

I didn’t want to break up this stunning print too much, but I thought some contrast pockets in those stof stripes would be fun. It all came together wonderfully with the same periwinkle solid I used for Bean’s dress. I added in a pair of Diamondback Leggings in the solid as well, just to boost her wardrobe a bit.

I’m thrilled with how well these two looks came together and know we’ll use these patterns again. So what will you sew up in this Very Peri color this year? These certainly won’t be our last makes in this palette.

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 Moreโ€ฆ
