I am not an affiliate of Perfect Pattern Parcel, but I received these patterns for this tour. All opinions are mine. Also PPP is awesome.
I am super excited to a part of Perfect Pattern Parcel #2. If you haven't heard of Perfect Pattern Parcel, here's a quick description in their own words:
Put together two entrepreneurial makers driven by their internal voices and one self-taught hacker driven by data analytics , and Perfect Pattern Parcel was born. We are passionate about supporting independent designers in their craft and fostering a community of makers to grow. Our mission is to offer high-quality pdf sewing patterns written by indie designers while supporting children's education.
Parcel #2 two contains 5 patterns which can be mixed and matched in enough ways to completely outfit your little girl for spring. Just look at this list of patterns:
Hanami Top or Dress by Straight Grain
Hosh Pants by LoubeeClothing
Celestial Tee by Figgy’s
September Tunic & Dress by Too Sweets Patterns
Caroline Party Dress by Mouse House Creations
With this parcel if you choose to pay at least $24 you will automatically receive this BONUS pattern:
Prefontaine Shorts by Made With Moxie
Now you all know I'm obsessed with Hosh Pants. Just take a look here, here, and here. But Sarah has extended the sizing to go up to 6 so I'll make plenty more before Bean is too big for Hosh.
When I received the patterns I jumped at the chance to make a Caroline Party Dress for Bean. It's such an adorable classic shape and I knew a Mouse House Creations pattern would have excellent attention to detail so I couldn't wait to sew with it. I love a well done tutorial and this does not disappoint.
I made the simple neckline dress with a full bodice lining and underskirt. If I have Bean wear this one for her birthday, then I'll add a bunch of tulle to make it poof a bit more. If you haven't sewn with tulle before, don't worry because the pattern does a great job of explaining how to add tulle to the underskirt. I made it in size 4T because at the rate Bean is growing she would have outgrown a 3T by the time her birthday came around in may. It fits great with a little extra room in the bodice now so it'll be perfect this summer.
I can't wait to sew more of the patterns from the parcel. In the meantime, Bean and I have been having fun coloring in the super adorable paper dolls made in honor of the sale. The free printable is a great way to get your kids excited about mixing and matching the PPP patterns.
beautiful! that blue is such a great color on her :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachael! I use blue as much as possible ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sewing with us, Ajaire! That dress looks so awesome on Bean. I love the multi colored polka dots. I wish adults could still wear such fun dresses without looking like a nutter. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is perfect for a party dress! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica!
ReplyDeleteSara, I've used the polka dots on her other two birthday dresses too ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill! I bought those polka dots ages ago and I still have a tiny bit left to use on yet another project :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your sneak peek the other day, I figured it was a birthday dress since you've used that before!
ReplyDeleteI love that they donate to DonorsChoose!!!
The dress is adorable! I love the look of the polka dot bodice, solid skirt, and striped bias hem.:)
