Happy Harry Potter and a Tutorial Swap

It's time for the annual Happy Harry Potter series celebrating Harry's birthday, hosted by Marissa of Rae Gun Ramblings, so I decided to combine a fun tutorial swap with something a little Harry to celebrate!

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.

The Jumper View - Paneled Sunsuit

I know I keep saying it, but probably my favorite view of the Paneled Sunsuit is the Jumper (view D in the pattern).

Alice In Wonderland - 150th Anniversary

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland was one of my favorite books when I was younger.  So much so that I read Through the Looking Glass as well to absorb as much Alice as I could.  I even have The Walrus and the Carpenter poem (recited by Tweedledee and Tweedledum) memorized still.

Nani IRO En Garden Challenge

I've been so excited about today's post!  Rachael from Imagine Gnats challenged April, Brooke, and I to a super fun challenge.  We were sent the same Nani IRO En Garden fabric (*affiliate link) to make anything we'd like and then were pitted against one another in a sort of "who sewed it best" competition.  I'm always up for a friendly competition and was drooling over the fabric she chose, so of course I jumped right in.

The Jumpsuit View - Paneled Sunsuit

One of my favorite views of the Paneled Sunsuit is the Jumpsuit (view B in the pattern), so today I'm excited to share a bit about it.

The Trouser View and a 4th of July Celebration

Happy Fourth of July to all you Americans out there!  Today's Paneled Sunsuit focus is on the Trousers (view G in the pattern).

These loose-fitting pants are the bottom half of the jumpsuit so they are designed to sit a bit high-waisted.  There are options for no pockets, regular pockets, and pockets with a faux piping like the pops of red in these pair.  These are made with a light-weight denim from JoAnn Fabrics, but they are designed to work with a variety of wovens and even a hefty knit like a ponte de roma as well.

A Baby Shower and a Free Pattern

Jess from Gracious Threads is hosting a virtual baby shower while she enjoys some baby snuggles with her newborn.  I am happy to share a fun (free!) excerpt from the Paneled Sunsuit pattern.

Paneled Sunsuit Pattern Release

Today is the day!  

It's been more than a year in the making, but today the the Paneled Sunsuit pattern is officially released and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.  It's been super slow here on the blog lately because my time for working is very limited and I had to switch gears from blogging to designing, so I thank you for your patience during this process and can't wait to get back to some regular blogging this summer.
