Back to School with Hem & Bind and Life Sew Savory

 On the final day of our Back to School tour we have some really amazing inspiration for you!  Two of our designers have sewed up some really fun combinations to inspire you.

Let's start with Bonnie of Hem & Bind.  She used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create these incredible looks:

We're just going to give you a few moments to find your jaw where it dropped on the floor!  Here are Bonnie's thoughts on her makes:

This trio of mine starts preschool and kindergarten on Monday! They are beyond excited, and I loved the idea of celebrating this milestone with handmade outfits! On my first scroll through Raspberry Creek Fabric's Back-to-School collection, I fell in love with the Encyclopedia Britannica fabric. Doesn't it look absolutely like something Ms. Frizzle would wear on a Magic School Bus journey? And, it's perfect sewn up as Abby's Spin + Twirl Dress! For the boys, I chose the Vintage Look Alphabet panel and used it in two different t-shirt choices for a matching but not too matchy finish. I mixed and matched green and gray solids for the bottoms, adding long pants to the short-sleeve tops so that we can toss on a light jacket, and these three coordinating outfits will work all the way through our Florida fall, winter, and spring! 

Just wow!  Let's take a closer look...

Be sure to head over to Hem & Bind for lots more of this adorable trio!

Finishing up the tour in style we have Emily from Life Sew Savory.  She used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create these incredible looks:

We asked Emily for her back to school sewing thoughts:

I can't believe it's time to think about back to school sewing, but my kids start school in 20 days! Whew! I loved working with these patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabric is always a hit. Everything seen in these photos was sewn with PR&P patterns except for the boys t-shirts. I just got lazy at that point! My daughter has a gorgeous new dress for school and the boys have fun joggers for sports and dress down days where they can wear these super comfy pants. 

Let's zoom in, shall we?

What an adorable back to school outfit!  She's wearing:

Friday Dress in olive double gauze fabric

Joseph(ine) Cardigan in botany floral french terry fabric

These guys look ready to play ball in their:

Joseph Joggers sewn using splatter paint french terry fabric

Head over to Life Sew Savory for all the details and so many more photos. 

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our back to school event by purchasing patterns and fabric, by commenting our our social media posts, and by being inspired to sew back to school clothes for YOUR students!

We'll see you next week for the beginning of Season 25!!!!!!!

Back to School with Cut Sip Sew and Skirtfixation

 Today we have not one, but TWO designers sharing inspiring Back to School makes!  

First up is Randi from Cut Sip Sew.  Randi used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create this adorable look:

Where do we even start on the amount of cuteness in one photo??  Randi shared this about her sewing:

Project Run and Play has such a great collection of patterns that work well for school and Raspberry Creek has the perfect fabrics to compliment them. I picked a few transitional pieces that can be layered for changing seasons. My kiddo loves the prints and colors of the fabrics and she loves the styles of the patterns. It wasn't easy to narrow it down but I picked 3 that I thought she would like best for preschool. 

We spy these combos:

Novella Pinafore in red chambray fabric

Up Beet Tee in paint splatter cotton jersey fabric

And if you want to see the Chromium Cropped Hoodie she sewed from the best fabric ever, head over to Cut Sip Sew.

_____________________________________________

Next up we have Audrey from Skirt Fixation.  She sewed for the whole school using patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics.

Even homeschooled kids love new back to school clothes!  Yes, even though they show up in pajamas somedays... ;)  We're still learning how to wear shoes apparently though, as you'll see from some of the photos in my blog post!  The back to school fabrics from Raspberry Creek Fabrics sport such adorable designs, and the softness and quality just can't be beat.  This time, I let my kids take the ball and run with it, choosing the patterns and fabrics themselves.  In my book, they win the top prize for their pattern and fabric combos.

Big sister's winning picks are:

Chromium Cropped Hoodie made with botany floral french terry fabric

Stoplight pencil skirt made with charcoal grey french terry and mustard french terry fabrics

Over on the boy's team we have double trouble:

Lemon Tee #1: notebook paper and rust red cotton jersey fabrics

Lemon Tee #2: vintage locomotion and royal blue cotton jersey fabrics

Prose Cargo Pants made with black rayon linen fabric.

Even little sister got in on the game!  She specifically requested the "spaint splat" fabric!

Risu Dress sewn up in Splatter Paint cotton jersey fabric with royal blue trim.

Head over to Skirt Fixation for more fun photos and details on these cute back to school clothes.

We'll see you back here tomorrow for more Back To School fun!

Back to School with PA Country Crafts

 Are you ready to be inspired?  Maybe you ought to sit down for today's top on the Back to School tour!  Lindsay of PA Country Crafts has brought her A game and she's winning left and right!  

Lindsay used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create these FUN looks:

Can you even handle the cuteness???  Here's some thoughts from Lindsay on these makes:

For a few years now I have wanted to create a mini capsule wardrobe for my youngest daughter. When the opportunity to join the Back to School tour came up I decided this was my chance! I picked out my favorite print in Raspberry Creek Fabrics’ back to school line and found a few coordinating solids. I really like adding my own details and embellishments to solid fabrics. Since the print I chose featured wildflowers I used the Wild and Free digital file to create hand embroidery on the Novella bib pocket. A floral stretch lace made a lovely accent on the hem of the Becky skirt. My daughter loves the sleeves on Indigo and a pair of Frances leggings made a super fast sew for more mix and match options. My daughter tends to stress out about matching her clothes and she is the only one of my daughters in elementary school now so she won’t have big sisters acting as fashion police. Hopefully the coordinating pieces will help to make this transition a little easier.

From left to right in the photo above, here are the pattern and fabric links so you can go copy her exact makes!!!

Novella Pinafore in charcoal grey chambray fabric

Indigo (peplum) in solid burgundy jersey knit fabric

Becky Skirt in solid deep sage green jersey knit fabric

Story Top in botany floral french terry fabric

Frances Leggings in solid mustard double brushed poly fabric

What's that you say?  You need to see a close up of that Novella Pinafore?

Isn't that incredible?  This is a digital design in the shop, and if you want a FREE coloring page version, be sure to head over to PA Country Crafts!

See you tomorrow for even more inspirational Back to School sewing!

Back to School with SewSophieLynn

 Prepare to be inspired to sew BOTH boy and girl Back to School clothes today because Tami of SewSophieLynn is providing the looks today!  Tami used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create these FUN looks:

See what we mean?  Now what kid wouldn't want these fantastic clothes for Back to School learning?   Here's more from Tami about her makes:

Back to school is always bittersweet for me.  I love having an excuse to sew up cute new fall clothes though!  My kids are all about comfy so we stuck with some of our very favorite PRP patterns.  I sewed up a Story Dress for my tween in soft french terry and my little man is all about joggers and tees.  He got a Lemon Tee in cotton lycra jersey paired with the most heavenly bamboo cotton stretch sweatshirting Joseph Joggers.  I love that these patterns are quick to sew, making them ideal for Back to School batch sewing!

 Let's look closer at each one:

She is ready to study in: 

Story Dress pattern sewn up in paint splatter french terry fabric.

Meanwhile, he's at the top of the class in:

Lemon Tee sewn up in puzzle cube and solid rust jersey knit fabrics

Joseph Joggers in dusty mustard bamboo cotton sweatshirt fleece fabric

  Be sure to head over to SewSophieLynn for more fun and photos.  (You must see the back of his t-shirt!)

We'll see you back here tomorrow for more Back To School fun!

Back to School with Art Bella Creates

 We're SO delighted to bring you a very awesome Back To School event!!  You will be so inspired by everything the designers sewed, and the best news is, you still have time to sew up Back To School clothes for your kids!

Today Carin of Art Bella Creates is kicking off the tour with an amazing little back to school capsule for her daughter.  Carin used patterns from the Project Run & Play shop and fabric from Raspberry Creek Fabrics to create this collection:

Let's hear about this collection from Carin: 

Tween sewing this year has been quite the adaptive challenge. Not only does my Bella have a very specific style but we have also hit some changes in body big time. Fortunately we had some fabulous fabrics from Raspberry Creek Fabrics and an extensive range of wonderful patterns from the Project Run and Play shop. When choosing patterns I went back to the very first capsule pattern collection (Project Farmer's Market) and tried to pick ones I haven’t sewn before. I still have many more that I have to make my way through. I wanted to make sure I have a basic tee, versatile pants, a skirt, a dress and a jacket/cardigan. The amount of fabric choices was endless and I it was hard to choose my favorites. I love that all of the back to school line is very versatile and will work for a wide age range as well as being unique and neutral enough to easily mix and match. I have set up a nice base with these 5 items and will be able to build from here on.

For your convenience, here are direct links to the patterns and fabrics Carin used to create her daughter's capsule wardrobe.

Banana Boat Tee in College ruled notebook paper print jersey knit fabric

Caraway Cardigan in kelly green french terry

Metro Pants in chambray blue and off white rayon linen fabric

Story Dress (modified) in Vintage locomotion clouds jersey knit fabric

Soleil Skirt in red fabric from Carin's stash

Wow, wow and wow!  Be sure to head over to Art Bella Creates for a lot more information on this amazing capsule.

We'll see you back here tomorrow for more Back To School fun!

Take Me Back with Sew a Little Seam

 It's time for another installment in one of our favorite series, Take Me Back!  This is where we take an in-depth look at one design from one Season.  Today we're looking back to the Analagous Color theme and geeking out on all the details of Kelly from Sew a Little Seam's City Sunset look in Season 23 Week 1.

Everything about this look is so good!  It's really the little details that pull it all together and make it pop.  I know my kids would wear these clothes on repeat, how about yours?  Let's look at each make, starting with his clothes.

If you know us, you know we love POLOs!  They're so classic, can be dressed up or down, and are quite satisfying to sew.

Polo pattern: His shirt can be replicated exactly using the Parfait Polo pattern.  No changes needed.  Love it when it's this easy!

Polo fabric:  This high quality orange cotton lycra jersey would be perfect (and stand up to the wear and tear it would surely receive.)  The contrast is yellow cotton lycra jersey.

Polo patches: Any patches would work, but this fun Harry Potter Gryffindor patch would fit the color scheme, wouldn't it!

And then there's that fun and super cool pair of shorts.  Here's how you could recreate them:

Shorts pattern: There are several in the shop that would work great, but we would use the Bacca Bootcuts pattern because it would be SO comfortable for him!  Just lengthen the shorts to the knee, and you're done!

Shorts fabric: This coral super stretch denim would make your life easy and his comfortable!

Shorts tie: Use this pre-made yellow cording, and presto! you're finished!

Her little outfit is so sweet!  Lucky for you, we've figured out how to replicate it almost exactly!  Let's start with that adorable sweater top.

Sweater pattern: Since calculating the ruffle may be the most complicated part of making this top, we'd suggest using the Robin Dress pattern as the ruffle is already incorporated into that pattern.  You'd simply cut if off below the waistband and add a waistband to finish the dress.

Sweater fabric: Because the Robin Dress is drafted for wovens, you would get the boxy look of this sweater by using knit fabric.  We chose this delightful ribbed sweater knit in just the right shade of coral.

Underneath the sweater is that darling pair of shorts!  NO wonder she has such a huge smile!

Shorts pattern: The TinTin Shorts and Trousers pattern is a shoo in for this look.  It already has the tie, belt loops, pockets and cuffs!  

Shorts fabric: This bright broadcloth fabric would be just the right color and weight for a pair of shorts.  It would hold the pleats, but yet be flexible enough for her to move around.

Shorts tie: You could take a shortcut and use the same yellow cording you used on his shorts, or use this bright satin ribbon.

Here it is all together in one place:

Location, styling and photography: Kelly stayed true to her theme here by taking amazing quality photos in the city near sunset.  What more could be needed?  Her kids are wearing everyday shoes, so the emphasis is on the clothes...great choice!

What else did you notice?

See what the other designers created for the Analogous Color theme here.

Designer Interview: Amanda of Deriving Mommyhood

 This designer interview is really fun because we're sitting down with Amanda of Deriving Mommyhood, and she was just on in the latest regular Season, so her memories are very fresh!

What was your favorite part of your experience on Project Run & Play?

Pushing myself to create my own unique looks rather than stick to the page. I learned lots of patterning techniques I never would have if not for competition!!

What would you have done differently on your Season if you could do it over?

Not stressed so much!!! And get started much earlier 🤣

Funny behind the scenes story?

I have almost another full week of looks that I didn’t use because I scrapped them for other ideas or I thought I could do better. Also week 1 was the only week I wasn’t on full lockdown, and so could leave my street for pics. I went to a local park and my youngest fell in mud ten minutes in and was a mess for the rest of the day (emotionally and physically 🤣) I ended up using her siblings for the following weeks. You can see muddy knees in the photo above!

What did you learn sewing skill-wise from your challenge?

How to make a blazer coat, how to calculate pleats, how to slash and spread patterns....

How did your family react/help during your experience?

They were very glad when it was over! ;)

Any make-it-work moments?

The yellow cape I did for the final week replaced my cape blazer that I didn’t use, and I made it hours before I took pics. It ended up being one of my favourites for the whole challenge.

Advice for future competitors?

Stick to what you love doing and enjoy every moment!

Did you have any ideas that totally bombed and you had to switch gears?

Yes yes yes!!! My oldest son was supposed to be in week 2. I finished his look but my daughter stole the bottoms. It just didn’t ‘work’ and I thought my younger sons look was far better alone.

Anything else you want to share?

I was ready to quit after my judging scores from week 1. I thought I had absolutely nailed it and loved everything I made and was beside myself when I scored in the bottom in every category!!

Can you share a photo shoot story or any photoshoot outtakes?

The entire country locked down for Covid the day after the week 2 shoot so there were no more last minute trips out for supplies or fun spots to take photos.....

And for week 4 I took photos on my street, and it was a capsule so there was lots of running in and out to change. The farmer was doing farmer things the whole time so I was able to awkwardly chat about cows with him as the pictures were pretty much right next to where he was working.

Thank you so much, Amanda!  Besides following along with Amanda at Deriving Mommyhood, you can be inspired by following her on Instagram too.

Take Me Back with Sweeter Than Cupcakes

 It's time for another installment in one of our favorite series, Take Me Back!  Today we're going to do a deep dive into the Athleisure: Blurring the Lines by Sweeter Than Cupcakes for the Nothing But Knit theme in Season 11 Week 1.

This look is just so cozy and makes us want to copy it RIGHT NOW!  It's got enough relaxed vibe to be worn over and over again, and enough special details to make it SO special!  Let's break down all 3 pieces of this look starting at the jacket.

We've got to admit we have a huge weakness for jacket sewing!  The proportions are so good on this one and it's absolutely perfect for throwing on after a workout, or on a chilly morning.

Structured knit jacket with quilted details resources:

Jacket pattern: The Caraway Cardigan is a great place to start on for this look.  It has a longer length version, pockets, and an option for a button front.  Adding the oversize accent collar would be quite easy using this tutorial.

Jacket fabric: This super soft yet structured sweatshirt fleece in a dark navy is exactly right for this application.  You can either quilt your own fabric for the pocket and collar, or use prequilted fabric like this good quality one.

Jacket buttons: These oversize grey buttons will be the perfect statement closures that make this jacket really pop!

Under the jacket is this adorable color blocked peplum top!  It's got so many cute details, and luckily for you, we've know how to replicate it exactly!

Colorblock peplum resources:

Peplum pattern: The most complicated part of the colorblock in this pattern is those curved side stripes, so we suggest starting with a pattern that already has those designed in...the Via Top, Tunic and Dress.  Then just add the top color block (or use the Nini Noni Nightwear pattern) and the peplum which can both be straight lines.  Here is another good tutorial on colorblocking.

Peplum fabric: We have sourced the exact fabric that Courney used for this top, so you can copy her to a tee!  (Get it, to a tee...on a t-shirt?!?  Okay, we'll stop.)  The 3 fabric are all from Art Gallery Fabrics solid knit line and they are deep dark ocean, icy mint, and coral reef colors.

Finally there are those sensational leggings!  Again, we have the exact information you need.

Leggings pattern: The Dressage Leggings with almost no changes except adding piping!  Here is a tutor you need all about adding piping.

Leggings fabric: Again Art Gallery Fabric knit solid fabric is a perfect match here.  This color way is Tin Tint, and is perfect leggings fabric.  

Leggings piping: Use this navy blue piping and you're set to go.

Here it is, all in one place: 

Location, Styling and Photography: It looks like she just paused to catch her breath in the middle of a great jog, doesn't it?  The location definitely takes back stage here so the clothes can shine!  The hair style is no nonsense and out of the way, again placing emphasis on the garments.  The poses are just right (lots of angles always make a good photo) yet looks so natural an un-posed!

What else did you notice?
