We've decided to go crazy and offer a flash sale on any pattern in the shop that is sewn in red fabric on the pattern cover!
This includes:
Rosemary & Thyme Shirts pattern
Woodland Wanderer Coat pattern
We're really sad to announce that Gemia of Phat Quarters/Pier Avenue Patterns is unable to participate in Week 3 of Mini Season 2. Gemia and her family have suffered a truly heartbreaking loss and can use your support, thoughts and prayers.
However, we're awed by Tami of SewSophieLynn who agreed to step in at the last minute and participate.
After each of these talented designers introduce themselves, we have a SURPRISE for you...stay tuned! These ladies have been challenged with this theme:
Week 3: Comfort Encapsulated - No one knows what 2021 will bring, so prepare to be comfortable no matter what happens! With the Project Lounge Library patterns as your paints, and fabric as your canvas, art will soon appear!
Let's get to know Tami and Carin better:
Hi all! I'm Tami from SewSophieLynn and I'm humbled to be stepping in for Gemia this week. I was lucky enough to compete alongside Gemia in Season 15 and my heart goes out to her and her family. I love our Project Run and Play family and the community that surrounds us. I am a mom of 5, ages 18-8, and just sent my oldest son off to North Carolina to serve a mission for our church. I have loved the slower pace this past year and all of the extra family time we've had. I still shuttle all the kiddos between soccer practices and dance lessons but we also manage to throw in lots of movie and game nights too (The Game of Things always gets us laughing)! I started sewing in high school but didn't really get into it until my oldest daughter was born. I've learned lots through pattern testing and working my way through my massive pdf pattern collection. You can follow me at SewSophieLynn on Instagram.
My name is Carin and I am wife, mom to two and live in Illinois. I currently homeschool both my children and we are loving it. Both my hubby and myself were born in South Africa , lived in Switzerland for 2 years after we got married and have been living all across the USA for the past 16 years.
My love of Sewing? The phrase “I got it from my Mama” rings very true here. I grew up in my Mom’s sewing room. She is a self-taught amazing seamstress that went from sewing for herself, us and many other people into teaching sewing classes out of her garage. I have a B.Sc in Home Economics and even though the art of sewing, designing etc. was a huge part of it, my love and skill comes from my wonderful Mom.
I grew up in my mom's sewing room. I didn't sew for a while after college but after my now 10 year old was born, I started and haven't stopped since.
My style includes lots and lots of color, I love technique and always try to improve on my own. I love old-fashioned sewing with a modern twist. I view every item I sew as a piece of Art – from the moment I put it together in my head, to picking out fabrics, sewing and pressing the very last hem.
I love flipping a well designed pattern and putting my own twist on it. Sharing my craft with people is always a blessing.

For the Week 2 theme, we tapped into the amazing talents of Annika of Naeh Connection and Jenny of Made of Starlite! This fun team has been challenged with this theme:
Week 2: Linguistics of Alteration - Pattern hacking is our love language! The biggest question this week is…will we even recognize the Project Lounge Library patterns when you’re through with them??
Be sure to find out the deal of the week at the end of this post after the designers introduce themselves!
Let's get to know Annika and Jenny better...
Hi, I'm Jenny! Since being a designer on Project Run and Play in Season 21, I've stayed pretty active with the PRP community! I absolutely love collaborating for the lookbooks, and participating in the fun blog tours Audrey puts together. In the larger online sewing community, I still pattern test for Violette Field Threads and Sofiona Designs, but I've been quieter on the social media front since we jumped headfirst into homeschool this year! 2020 pushed us all out of our comfort zones, and though every day is definitely not cupcakes and adorable science projects, my kids and I are loving the time to learn together. We also got an exciting surprise over the holidays, realizing we will be welcoming a 4th child into the family this summer! 😊 You can find my sporadic sewing adventures on Instagram.
Hi, I'm Annika from Näh-Connection and I'm so happy to be back here on Project Run and Play. I was lucky enough to win season 11 and can't wait to see what this mini season will bring. As you might have guessed from that strange "ä" in my blog name, I'm not English. I'm from Germany. I live together with my husband and 3 children super close to the Bavarian alps. When I'm not sewing, I love to explore the outdoors, to travel, to take photographs of my family and nature and to get down on my mat for some yoga. During the last years I've turned my sewing passion into a business where I translate sewing patterns from English to German (and sometimes vice versa) and sell them through my site. I'm actually a trained scientist (Geophysics and volcanology rock! Yes, they do!) but being able to work from home and to take care of my children (especially during a pandemic), not having to commute, and being my own boss, suit my current needs much better. Plus, I get to work with some fantastic designers and awesome patterns. What's not to love about that?

Today we're starting off our Back to Learning Tour with Tami of SewSophieLynn! As usual, you know you are going to be inspired when Tami sews!
First up, Tami sewed a Joseph(ine) Cardigan in such a cozy waffle knit that I now want one for myself!!! The Joseph(ine) is a pattern for a comfy cardigan. Ideal to wear over a dress or pants. The pattern was originally drawn for knitted fabrics. If you choose fine fabrics, a loose sweater can be made. If you choose more stiff fabrics, this pattern can also be used to make a nice blazer. The cardigan can be made for both boys and girls (sizes 2-14 Y).
Grab the Joseph(ine) Cardigan on sale here in the shop!
Over the next 2 weeks we'll be featuring each of these patterns with some of your favorite Project Run & Play designers. Get ready to be inspired!
