Puperita Peppy and Perky - Summer Staples!

Puperita is releasing FOUR new patterns today! 🎉 I love Puperita! My boys' closet is filled up with Puperita patterns! They have rompers, shorts, tee shirts, button downs, vests, dressy church clothes from their Puperita Patterns. I never hesitate to try a new pattern, and am always happy with the outcome. I also really enjoy testing for Annalisa. She is generally very organized, and I am always happy enough with the fit of even the first version, so I never feel like there is a waste of fabric.

So... as usual, she announced that she needed testers for some new patterns. But the patterns were a surprise. I jumped at the opportunity to test, because I really needed motivation to kickstart the boys' summer wardrobe. I decided to test for Luke. I was super happy when I finally saw the patterns to test! 💙
The Perky Top

This is the only one of the four patterns that I did not sew. It is intended for girls. It is drafted for woven fabric, and is similar to the one I did test, but has side panels and a cute handkerchief style hemline. It has a loose fit at the waist, and is really adorable!

The Perky Shorts:

These are gender neutral shorts that are designed to go with both the Perky Top for girls and the gender neutral Peppy Top. The shorts are a super quick sew. The pattern does not have a side seam. It has an elastic waist and hemmed legs. I bet you could make a pair of these in 20 minutes! Seriously QUICK! The shorts can be made in knit fabric or woven fabric. I used woven.

The Peppy Top:

This is the gender neutral top that I did test. This top pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. I really love the top. I think that, depending on the fabric, it could be a great everyday play outfit or a fabulous outfit for church! In fact, we have already used Luke's for both! 😉 The top snaps at the shoulders, and fits comfortably. It has adorable little pockets on the front. The top/neckline is faced, for a very easy, quick finish.

The Peppy Shorts:

These shorts are so cute and comfortable. They are perfect for playing in, and for dressing cute! They have a slight harem style. These can be made in knit fabric or a super lightweight, drapey woven, such as gauze fabrics. I love the fit of them in knit fabric. I used cotton lycra for Luke's!
Luke's Sets:

The first I made is a very lightweight gingham fabric. Matthew and Daniel both already have outfits made from this fabric. We did not take photos in this one, however. It was my test to ensure that the fit was good. Because it is so lightweight, you can see the facing/lining through the top, but that's okay with me. I think it's a perfect summer outfit for a little guy! For this I used the Perky Shorts Pattern.


The second I made was a light blue cotton fabric I found at Hobby Lobby. I LOVED this fabric when I found it. When I saw it, I immediately knew that the boys needed something from this fabric for beach photos! I already made Daniel some Seven Seas shorts and an applique top, so Luke and Matthew need this set for their pictures! I also used the Perky Shorts for this outfit.



This little set is so sweet! 💗

The final outfits I made for Luke was from this really adorable firefighter fabric I found at Joann's Fabrics! It was so cute, and I've had it for a bit trying to decide what to make for them! When I saw this pattern for the first time, I KNEW that it had to be this! I love the outcome. I used the Peppy Shorts for this outfit! Isn't it cute?


Big Brother needed some Matching SEVEN SEAS SHORTS!

So... Go Check Out The Patterns!! 💙💙

Breaking Ground... FINALLY trying out Itch To Stitch

I've heard nothing but positive reviews on Itch To Stitch Patterns, and I've been meaning to try them out. In fact, I may own one or two, but have never sewed them. When I heard about this "Breaking Ground" Blog Tour, I knew it was the perfect time to try out one of these designers that I've been wanting to try, but apparently haven't had the motivation to sew. I had a scrap of this liverpool left over that I really love, so I had to find the perfect thing to make. I remembered seeing this cute petal pencil skirt on the Itch To Stitch site. It looked easy enough, and would be perfect for my fabric, so I thought, "Why not start with that?" **This post may contain my affiliate links. If you choose to make a purchase from my link, I will receive a small commision of the sale at no additional charge to you.** So here we are... the push I finally needed to spend a few minutes sewing (minutes is right... it's a fast sew). Look at my new skir...

Fun, Fast, and Free - Fresh Looks for Summer!

When I first saw the information about the "Boys in Summer" Blog Tour hosted by Made for Little Gents , I knew I wanted to participate! My boys are the reason I started sewing! I HAD to participate. But, what would I sew? I contemplated what I might make for a couple of weeks, and then it hit me... it would be super fun to highlight a couple of great freebies! EVERYONE loves free stuff. Free patterns are a great way to try a new designer out before making a purchase, they're perfect for adding some variety to your pattern stash without spending money, and they're just super fun... because more patterns = more stuff you get to make. 😁 So the freebies I'm going to talk to you about today are from Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop . I love Peek-a-boo patterns. I've made a few of them for my boys and have tested a few as well. I feel like the instructions are mostly geared towards beginners, so any skill level can be successful with her patterns. I've really en...

Getting Dressed for Halloween!

Honestly, Halloween was never my favorite holiday. It was just a day where some people dressed up. I don't particularly care for dressing up, so I haven't since I was a little girl. But... I have two sweet boys now. And one of them LOVES Halloween. So I'm participating in all the costume sewing, fun holiday-themed tee making, and Halloween-themed blog tours, and am actually really enjoying it! 😉 Today is my day to share on the DIY Halloween Costume Blog Tour hosted by Seams Sew Low . Okay... so I'm actually just sharing some Halloween-Themed tees, but they're so fun! I promise to show a picture of their costumes too! Daniel loves ghosts, pumpkins, costumes, candy, scary stuff, Halloween Decorations, everything Halloween related. I don't know where he gets it, but he loves the holiday. So, I have happily now made him 4 costumes in his life, and for the last two years, I've made him a couple of Halloween-themed shirts. So, for my day on the DIY Hal...
