Project Under the Sea with Sincerely, Shantelle

This collection is so much FUN and Lakeisha's kids are having a blast in their new Project Under the Sea clothes! We are so excited to finish out the week with Sincerely, Shantelle!

I was so excited to get into this project after a long streak of no-fun-sewing!” To jump start this collection, the kiddos needed new swimsuits. I went to the PRP design page at Raspberry Creek Fabrics and let me kiddos pick their fav swim/boardshort prints. They both chose many of the same prints, so they got coordinating swimsuits with some of our (now) favorite swim patterns.

I then shifted my focus to my sweet girl, to celebrate her while sewing, and also found some new favs to add to our pattern library, as well as experimented with some cool fabric. Check out my blog for all the fabric and pattern details, including how I hacked the Reef Top into a dress!

WOW! These are all amazing!!! That dress needs to come in adult sizes! Don't forget to head to her blog for more!

Project Under the Sea with Puzzle Patterns

 We're delighted to have Aimee of Puzzle Patterns sew up some things from the Project Under the Sea pattern collection!  

So many fun patterns in the Under the Sea Collection and I am excited to be able to sew up a few and pretend its Summer down here in Australia - even though we've recently hit freezing temperatures! I had some fun with Suco by Susana's Reef Top and Seaside shorts. They are the perfect mix of fun and functionality! The top sews up so quickly and the girly top flounce is the perfect addition for my little Sass Queen. The shorts are a staple and I will be making many for our warmer months.

When I saw Call Ajaire's Morgana Zip up, I knew it was going to be a lifesaver for swim lessons and adventures to the beach. I used 2 towels and sized up one size (to make up for the lack of stretch in the towels) and it is now an outfit/coverall/towel that saves me time and space when toting 3 kids to swim lessons! you can read more about my process with that on my blog post HERE.

As usual the Project Run and Play collection was full of fabulous designs by talented pattern makers and lots of great accessories to accompany!

Project Under the Sea with Made by Kates

What would an "Under the Sea" collection be without swimwear? Today we have Katie from Made by Kates showing the adorable coordinating swimsuits that she made for her kids!

Our summer consists of plenty of underwater time!  My kids love to swim and we are always on the hunt for new stylish swim patterns.  This sibling set is our new favorite!  This Pike Swimsuit gives the illusion of a two piece but is a one piece- just like my daughter loves.  And the built in bike shorts under the Sand n Surf Boardshorts have my little guy stoked.  All the details, including where to get this adorable fabric, are on my blog!

See more of these cute brother-sister swim looks HERE!
