Art Bella Creates & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Carin of Art Bella Creates sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.


Project Farmer’s Market capsule wardrobe collection released in March and what an awesome collection.  Have you seen the lookbook yet?  So many ways to mix and match and suitable for a wide age range, appropriate for all seasons by layering and many options for both boys and girls.  I sure love a pattern that I can use for both my kids.  The idea of a capsule wardrobe is very appealing as it makes it easier to drop and add an item at a time as my kids grow which means I don't have to sew/replace a whole wardrobe every season.
I was lucky enough to test the Jonagold Jumper as part of the collection and love the versatility it provides.  I love a pattern I can modify and the jumper fits the bill quite perfectly.  The possibilities are endless.  I used the Up Beet Tee pattern for under the jumper.  The unique lines makes it the perfect tee for color blocking.  The fit is very comfortable yet still perfect for layering, I appreciate the length of the shirt for underneath the jumper.
I did sew up a few modifications of the jumper and both the tee and jumpers are in heavy rotation right now.  I am excited to build on her wardrobe with more pieces from the Project Farmers Market collection.

Please head over to Art Bella Creates to see lots more photos of these garments!  (You do NOT want to miss a close up of that butterfly...)

PA Country Crafts & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Lindsay of PA Country Crafts sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.


Project Run and Play is about more than just competition. It is a community. We are all brought together through our creativity and love of sewing children’s clothing. It is incredible to see what the designers are able to create each week. When they all work together, the possibilities are endless!
That is what the newest Project Run and Play collaboration is all about. Using the theme of “Farmer’s Market” everyone worked together to design a pattern collection that is perfect for creating a capsule wardrobe. They even staged phenomenal photo shoots to create a lookbook that will knock your socks off!
I chose to try the Seed Pattern and added cotton lace trim and an embroidered apron for a vintage look. (Isn't it neat how the same patterns can yield such different styles?!) My 5yo now calls it her “Farmer Dress” and it is her new favorite thing to wear. To go along with the Farmer's Market theme, I also made a market basket and sewed a liner. Head over to PACountryCrafts for more details on the dress and a tutorial for the market basket liner!

Sew A Straight Line & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Sabra of Sew A Straight Line sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.


The Farmer's Market line is so fun and versatile.  The size range is amazing, easily accommodating all children sizes, into teen years.  I really appreciate the thought that went into each piece, how they work together and stand alone.  It is easy to mix and match, planning your child's entire summer wardrobe with this one line.  I also enjoy the pattern options with each design.  Not only is the collection as a whole full of possibilities, but each pattern has multiple options and looks to choose from.  And I really love the bonus accessory patterns.  Such a fun way to use up scraps and make your child's look truly unique and exciting.  The Farmer's Market pattern collection is comprehensive, fun, and fashionable.  Please head over to Sew A Straight Line for lots more photos and info!

It's Liesel & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Liesel of It's Liesel sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.


I think this is one of the best ideas I've seen in the pdf pattern world in a long time!  We have so many differences, and this collection/collaboration took those differences, and made it a beautiful thing, instead of something divisive.  I can't stop looking at the Look Book, and I want to sew everything in it!  I love that all my kids are covered with styles and sizes that fit them.  The talent I get to brush shoulders with is unbelievable.  I'm proud to share a few things that I made from these amazing patterns.  Please head over to my blog, It's Liesel to see them all.

Pearberry Lane & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Cassy of Pear Berry Lane sharing her creations from the Project Farmer's Market capsule wardrobe collection.


I'm so excited for Project Run and Play to be putting out their first large scale collaboration between past competitors. I only wish I was far enough along in my sewing journey to have been able to contribute.  I love the idea of the capsule concept.  Last year I basically sewed my twins an entire summer capsule.
For my featured items I tried to stick with items that would go with the capsule I've been planning.  I had originally planned a pant jumpsuit with the Seed Pattern, but then I kept getting drawn to a jumpsuit dress while scrolling Zulily.  I don't know about you, but I like to scroll Zulily and then tell myself things like, "I can make that and it would be way higher quality."  So that's what I made, a dress inspired by a Zulily sale.  I paired a cute Caraway Cardigan, so be sure to hop over and check them out at Pear Berry Lane.

SewSophieLynn & Project Farmer's Market


Today we have Tami of SewSophieLynn sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.  As usual, her eye for details and fabric combinations had everyone in love!


I was thrilled when I heard about the Farmer's Market Collection.  A group of talented designers working together to create a capsule wardrobe that works for both girls and boys and kids of all ages?!  Yes, please!  To be able to sew them up and to get to do a fun photoshoot with friends was the icing on the cake.  I love that I was able to use patterns and fabrics that suit my kids to a tee.  This collection really does have something for everyone! Please head over to SewSophieLynn for tons more photos and thoughts on these patterns and the fabric too!

Violets & Jewels & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Rachel of Violets & Jewels sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.  She sewed up 4 of the patterns and one of the freebies too!!!


Everything about this collaboration with Project Run and Play is great, you get to see the different takes that each designer has about one theme.  All the behind the scenes work to even create the look book is amazing.  All the talent that went in on this... ( I still can’t believe that I am apart of it.) I can't wait to get started on the other patterns that are available.  I need more time during the day to sew!  I hope you all have enjoyed following along as I have.  Please head over to Violets and Jewels to read more about all these garments I sewed.

Mabey She Made It & Project Farmer's Market

Today we have Lisa of Mabey She Made It sharing her creations for the Project Farmer's Market lookbook.  She made an incredible contribution to the lookbook with these patterns...how many of them do you recognize?


The Farmer's Market collection is such a fun way to create a capsule for a single child or for a group. I had so much fun creating a look for all three of my girls that coordinated and yet fit their personalities perfectly (and I used six of the 10 patterns to do it!)  These would make perfect family photo outfits since I can add in an outfit for my son from the same collection and it takes all the stress of planning outfits away since you already know the pieces work together seamlessly. 

Please head over to Mabey She Made It for lots more photos and thoughts about these patterns!

Audrey for Project Farmer's Market


Hi, I’m Audrey the leader at Project Run & Play.  Since taking the lead, it had been a goal of mine to tap into the tremendous amount of talent represented among the role of past Project Run & Play designers in the form of collaborations.  One aspect of every Season is competition, and my dream was to show how these amazing women could work together to produce even greater things than they could individually.  It’s with great, great pride that I’ve been able to be a cheerleader and coordinator of this Designer Capsule #1: Project Farmer’s Market.


As a mother to nine kids, children’s wear sewing is something I love to do often!  One of my very, very favorite things to sew are button up shirts.  They are so very rewarding when they’re finished, and the classic lines never go out of style.  With that in mind, I designed and (with the help of an amazing tester team) brought the Rosemary & Thyme Shirts into fruition.  (You can check out all the tester versions here.)  They are woven popover-style shirts with a band collar.  Each has a couple of fun sleeve options, and the Rosemary has a few feminine details.


The Rosemary & Thyme Shirts are the 1st exclusive Project Run & Play pattern.  They are classic woven tops worth sewing just as they are.  But the lines are clean and useable as the building block for many great garment creations as Project Run & Play designers and fans love to do!


The Rosemary & Thyme Shirts are unique in that they are designed on 3 different size blocks with boy & girl shapes and ages in mind.  Sizes 1-6X are a unisex block and a perfect fit for boys and girls both.  The Rosemary Shirt in sizes 7-14 is a tween girl block and a perfect fit for those changing years.  The Thyme Shirt in sizes 8-16 is a tween/teen boy block ideal for the growing male.  Watch for more exclusive Project Run & Play patterns to come in the future!





Enjoy viewing the Project Farmer’s Market lookbook here.

 Stay tuned for next week when more Project Run & Play designers will share their creations from Project Farmer's Market!

Kat for Project Farmer's Market

Today we shine the spotlight on Kat of Sew Chibi Designs and the Ichigo Bomber Jacket.


“Hi there! I'm Kat, creator and pattern designer of 🌈Sew Chibi Designs🦄!  In our little corner of the internet, we focus on fashion for the modern kawaii kid: full of off-beat details, bold colors, and clothes with a sense of humor!  My three girls are my muses and we are boundless with our inspiration,  constantly trying to change the perspective on what's accepted in the world of handmade kids fashion! If it's weird, playful, or rainbow-colored, we are there! 

Every Saturday, from April to November, we visit our local Farmer's Market!  It's one of our most important traditions and is so important to the healthy lifestyle that we strive for!  My girls love to help us pick out what veggies and fruits we should get for the week and they are also fond of collecting the "ground flowers" that collect near the flower stands!  From charcuterie to blueberries, to fresh caught fish, we're always looking for any opportunity to support our local Portland vendors!
Springtime is a chilly time here, so my girls usually need something besides samples of cocoa to keep warm!

For the 🍓Ichigo Bomber Jacket Pattern, I was inspired by fresh fruits and veggies drinks along with Japanese streetwear.  The curve of the color-blocking is supposed to be reminiscent of  juice or milk being poured into a glass!  The Japanese (or English!) applique' options for the back give a retro look to the traditional bomber jacket.  And, of course, it had to have skinny welt pockets that almost look like two straws in a glass!  Pair the Ichigo Bomber Jacket up with its sidekick, the Mochi Bag (a FREE PDF Pattern for Kids and Adults): an adjustable, zippered chest bag with a front pocket, perfect for any day trip!  As with almost all Sew Chibi Designs patterns, the Ichigo Bomber Jacket Pattern as well as the Mochi Bag are intended for girls AND boys of all almost ages (12M-16Y!)”


I choose to make a chest bag freebie for a two major reasons: 1.) Chest bags are all the rage this spring on the runways!  I haven’t really seen many patterns for such a bag; usually you see hip bags for this sort of style.  I love the idea of adapting them for kids! 2.) I don’t know about other kids, but my kiddos tend to lose things when they depend on just their pockets for holding their treasures!  The Mochi bag is zippered bag which makes it easy to keep at their little things safe!  Plus, it looks great under the Ichigo bomber jacket!  The name Mochi came from the Japanese rice cake dessert which is one of my eldest daughter’s favorite desserts!  The two patterns together make a delicious pair!


“From sharing ideas, building off of each other, and all of encouragement from the other collaborators, the whole process was so much fun!  I love how all of the pieces work so well together and that there is something for every kind of style in the collection!  The diversity of designers was one of the best parts!  It was really such a great time getting to know the other designers!”

Head over to Sew Chibi Designs to grab your copy of the Mochi Bag and read more about the Ichigo Bomber Jacket.

hugs + stitches,
Kat from Sew Chibi Designs

Delia for Project Farmer's Market

Today we're shining the spotlight on the Caraway Cardigan and it's designer, Delia of Delia Creates.


Hi! I'm Delia, a maker and mom of three from Washington state, USA.  I love to crochet, craft, and garden, but I really fell head over heels for sewing for my kids when I participated in Project Run & Play season five.  During my season on Project Run & Play I tried to save my fabric budget by upcycling old sweaters.  The little baby sized cardigans I made from those discarded sweaters ended up being some of my most favorite items.  The Caraway Cardigan is big kid sized nod to those original cardigans and a celebration of the super power of sewing that allows you to turn nothing into a beloved treasure. 


True to the spirt of Project Run and Play, this capsule pattern collaboration has pushed my abilities above and beyond what I had envisioned.  We really gleaned from one another's strengths and worked hard to produce something that I believe will be a great asset to every kid pattern collection. 


I love the collection so much I sewed the entire thing for my daughter Nat!  Needless to say, she's in heaven over having a new Spring wardrobe.


To complement the theme of our collection and to honor my favorite farmer's market treat, I created a free pattern for this cute little strawberry coin purse.  It's just the right size to carry some change for a trip to the market!  Get the free pattern download and tips on how to sew with pleather on my site.

Designer Capsule #1: Project Farmer's Market


Today we are so excited to present to you our first Project Run & Play collaboration in the form of a collection of patterns, designed together, to create a capsule wardrobe for boys and girls.  


This capsule wardrobe collection with 10 patterns is full of options and details, perfect for the change of seasons for both boys and girls.


These 10 patterns come in tops and bottoms, wovens and knits, layering pieces, separates, dresses, jumpsuits, and more!  The patterns have a wide selection of sizes available, from newborn through teen.  The 10 pattern are:

Rosemary & Thyme Shirts

 Banana Boat Tee

 Caraway Cardigan

 D'Anjou Dress

 Ichigo Bomber Jacket

 Jonagold Jumper

 Seed Pattern

 Soleil Skirt

 Turnip Up Trousers & Shorts

 Up Beet Tee & Dress

All these patterns are on SALE during release week (today-Sunday March 17) for 20% off!  Or you can buy them bundled for even bigger discounts (see below.)


You can sew an entire capsule wardrobe for one child using this collection of patterns!


Or you can sew something for each of your children...Project Farmer's Market has got you covered!


Everything in this collection plays off this Farmer’s Market theme.  From the names of the patterns to the fundamental designs.  From the detailed elements of each pattern to the photo shoot props.  From the locations to the fun story titles of each photo shoot.  




As an added bonus, we created a lookbook to play along with the Project Farmer's Market collection. As you flip through the pages of the lookbook and browse the patterns in the shop this delightful theme will inspire you to create over and over again!  

We hope you have fun sewing up these patterns and find yourself drawn by the magic of Project Farmer’s Market.



In the coming days we'll be highlighting each pattern, and it's designer.  The designers each have a special free pattern prepared for you too!  Plus the lookbook is filled with fun tutorials and farmer's market related goodness and sewing inspiration.

Happy sewing!
