So before all social distancing Amelia had a birthday party. Steph at <a href="https://www.theelimonster.com/product/toer-bag-sewing-pattern/" target="_blank">The Eli Monster </a>had just come out with the most adorable boxy bag (that literally takes 15 minutes to make) and I was looking for something fun and fast to sew.</div>

<br />
<br />
The biggest deal was finding the right fabric... it actually took longer than sewing all the bags up.<strike> It was my fault</strike> It was Amelia's fault, so indecisive! And really it's stash buster because you don't need more that a fat quarter to make the smaller ones and the biggest size, a fat quarter for the lining and one for the outside fabric. <br />

We adding a few fun girly things, chap stick, hair elastics, nail polish.... Easiest goody bag I ever put together, and NO candy! <br />

Just a funny side note, I can't believe being "stuck" at home with JubeJube and Amelia actually gave me time to write a blog post!<br />

<br />
I've really been missing <a href="https://www.onethimble.com.au/product-category/digital-magazines/" target="_blank">One Thimble</a> and that's why even if my time is so limited these days I did want to take time out to sew from the newest issue. I made the drop crotch joggers #131 from Thread Faction... Liz Elliott's patterns never disappoint!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NRStQLdf5Kk/XWrl0rFqtBI/AAAAAAAAHcs/MFIW_np7RZEqu48bGG3wbaBgTJlugCAVQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2470a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1120" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NRStQLdf5Kk/XWrl0rFqtBI/AAAAAAAAHcs/MFIW_np7RZEqu48bGG3wbaBgTJlugCAVQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2470a.jpg" width="448" /></a></div>
<br />
Amelia would live in joggers if I let her so the fact that I got to make her a stylish pair really was a hit with her. Again thinking of the time crunch I'm in with back to school and work I didn't do anything fancy with top stitching or using the cover stitch. I even used the fabric I had from my stash. The pattern was so quick to assembly with my serger, I just made sure I pressed my seams to give a nice crisp look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4y85KO8DuVQ/XWrmKgVjruI/AAAAAAAAHdI/S09lPKjMQhQ2H9bFDmU9eUS-FeFHaBIJQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2541a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4y85KO8DuVQ/XWrmKgVjruI/AAAAAAAAHdI/S09lPKjMQhQ2H9bFDmU9eUS-FeFHaBIJQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2541a.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
We're nearing the cooler season here, back to school means fall so I paired the pants with a raglan tee. get this same look by using pattern #121 by <a href="https://threadfaction.com/" target="_blank">Thread Faction</a> in issue No.20 of One Thimble.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wwaYsf9vFYc/XWrmHovwUVI/AAAAAAAAHdE/skRRDAH_-ecR37IPhQq9NGagUVHzK_zSACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2528a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wwaYsf9vFYc/XWrmHovwUVI/AAAAAAAAHdE/skRRDAH_-ecR37IPhQq9NGagUVHzK_zSACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2528a.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a light weight French terry with a 5% lycra, and it was the perfect type of fabric for this project.<br />
<br />

The format for One Thimble has changed just a bit but still offers such fun projects. I think I'm going to make the tote bag next or maybe the dress from Jilly Atlanta? Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!<br />

My friend Gemia over at Phat Quarters designed this super cute, versatile and fun to sew pattern some time ago. Shame on me for only sewing it up now! I couldn't only make one so JubeJube recruited some help from her sister and her friend to show off 3 of the many more styles available in the <a href="https://phatquartersfabric.com/product/primrose-knit-dolman-pdf-pattern-girl-sizes-2t-12/" target="_blank">Primrose Dolmen pattern</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As it would happen, it rained on and off the whole day so we got the giant umbrella out. The girls had fun and just made it so much easier to just get through the mini shoot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qEW4tEhKnWM/XVayHE5ZXeI/AAAAAAAAHbg/9--JeZ-2f8YEZ0ntziRaU-cFPXzNaOn2ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_2299ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qEW4tEhKnWM/XVayHE5ZXeI/AAAAAAAAHbg/9--JeZ-2f8YEZ0ntziRaU-cFPXzNaOn2ACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2299ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
JubeJube got the plain style. No hem band or arm band or ruffles for her. Straight and simple. Take a closer look at Emy's top. You'll notice a slight high-low hem and arm bands. Such a smart look for back to school... yes I've said the dreaded words, but let's be real, it's almost that time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FaJktxCieqk/XVayHLH6QOI/AAAAAAAAHbY/b8tBKOi8x7oY7K4ujCzyD2d8uhi5EYY8ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_2320ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FaJktxCieqk/XVayHLH6QOI/AAAAAAAAHbY/b8tBKOi8x7oY7K4ujCzyD2d8uhi5EYY8ACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2320ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And then there's Amelia's top with the hem band. I love this look on her! Plus it allows her to wear leggings because the length of the top covers her butt, heeeheee.<br />
<br />

I could have kept on going, there are enough variations to make one for every day of the week and then some!<br />

For this blouse I get to use one of my favourite fabric blends, rayon!<br />

For the first time sewing this pattern I made it without any modifcation with the button closure at the back of the neck. This sew really got my creative juices flowing because it's such a wonderful, basic pattern... I was thinking what if I put the closure at the front, or made button tabs for the sleeves, or, or.... ok, I think you get what I mean... back to our wonderful, basic version of Gisèle.<br />
<br />
When I tried it on to check fit, JubeJube instantly said she wanted one, wich is so easy to do when 28 sizes are included in the pattern. Other options include the short and long sleeve.<br />

Nicole (Jalie 3903) is part of the new pattern collection from <a href="https://jalie.com/3903-nicole-dress-tunic-tee-sewing-pattern" target="_blank">Jalie</a>. Such a fun little shift dress and so fast to sew up that I was able to make two of them in an afternoon. </div>

Using <a href="https://jalie.com/3885-gerald-underwear-sewing-pattern" target="_blank">Gérald by Jalie</a>, some fabric from <a href="https://www.loiseaufabrics.com/" target="_blank">L'oiseau Fabrics</a> and my <a href="https://www.penelope.ca/machines-a-coudre-brother/brother-machine-recouvrement-cv3550-mab3550" target="_blank">Brother coverstitch CV3550</a>, I was able to sew up some boxers for Sebas. Last year it was the pink shirt (<a href="https://sproutingjj.blogspot.com/2018/02/boys-can-wear-pink-season-4.html" target="_blank">click here to see!</a>). He obviously still wears the shirt because well at the age of 22 he's done with growth spurts!<br />
<br />
It was the first time I ordered from L'oiseau, based out in Alberta Canada. The comic book print caught my eye and just couldn't resist. Sebas agreed he liked the print too. Shipping was quick and the fabric is just gorgeous! I kept flip flopping over a raglan style tee or boxers, boxers won.<br />

This isn't the first time I use the Gérald pattern by Jalie, and you can bet it won't be the last. You can see more of them here (<a href="https://sproutingjj.blogspot.com/2018/06/gerald-boxers-by-jalie.html" target="_blank">click!</a>) on another post.<br />
I wish I could show you more, but this ain't that kind of show 😏<br />

I actually got my Sabrina walk into my sewing room, as I was sewing the last seam, saying "hummm, I like that, is it for me?" In all truthfullness, I had made <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie3667-marie-claude-raglan-pullovers" target="_blank">Marie-Claude</a> for me but how could I say no to such a face and I made sure that one of the conditions to getting said top was to get her to model it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWuw_zZzZto/XGFnvc0RFkI/AAAAAAAAHU4/YHHMsE_2gt0E_dfS6zdrhVs5HHmPcg9ZACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0183a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWuw_zZzZto/XGFnvc0RFkI/AAAAAAAAHU4/YHHMsE_2gt0E_dfS6zdrhVs5HHmPcg9ZACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0183a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now going back to the beginning of this project. I gave Discovery Trekking Outfitters a call to talk about the fabric I wanted to try. I spoke to Martha who was so helpful and patient. She spoke of the different properties the<a href="http://www.discoverytrekkingoutfitters.com/base-layer" target="_blank"> Polartec power wool </a>has and I determined that I wanted to use the light-weight power wool. There are three different weights to the power wool : silk weight, lightweight and the heavier one which is more like a fleece. The combination of marino wool on the inside of the fabric and the polyester on the outside of the fabric help keep you toasty warm and dry while being active. The grid space traps warmth and keeps the fabric breathable. The fabric has enough stretch for comfort and ease of movement even for a close fitting garment.<br />
<br />
After placing my order I received my fabric quickly, within the week! Washe it by machine and hung it to dry. I didn't want to take the change of shrinking the fabric since it does have wool in it. It washed beautifully and was even softer on the inside that when I received it.<br />
<br />
I purchased the pattern some time ago first because I love raglan style tops and second, I also love hoodies. Since I had the pattern version (it can also be ordered online in a PDF home printable version) I traced out the size and pattern options I needed on a thin non-fusible interfacing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NJe3jBZKHFA/XGFnuXi1eHI/AAAAAAAAHUw/Jdlr1p8zjj0q67-UpD_GKU4AyEKgsT-6gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0192ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NJe3jBZKHFA/XGFnuXi1eHI/AAAAAAAAHUw/Jdlr1p8zjj0q67-UpD_GKU4AyEKgsT-6gCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0192ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
When sewing, I would recommend stretch needles in your serger and coverstitch. My machine had issues with skipping stitches but changing the needles did the trick. I love the pink accent made with the coverstitch (and obviously so did Sabrina).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xSJuZ5fp55Q/XGFnvADSb7I/AAAAAAAAHU0/zVeXf3ZqRjA5yWsirS6I3jyNgpeiulrPgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0196ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xSJuZ5fp55Q/XGFnvADSb7I/AAAAAAAAHU0/zVeXf3ZqRjA5yWsirS6I3jyNgpeiulrPgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0196ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This pattern has three neckline options to it, I made the hoodie version but you can find a regular neckline and a turtle neck as well. Also included in the pattern are 27 sizes so this is a pattern that will get a lot of use.<br />

Some of the features on this fun apron, also available in adult sizes, include a generous front pocket (perfect for puting that recipe) and adjustable straps that slide through grommets.<br />

It never fails, when Thread Faction gets a pattern published in One Thimble, it's the first one I have to try out. This issue Thread Faction has two patterns in the e-zine!<br />
<br />
I started with the Retro Romper. I love everything about this style! JubeJube says she's super comfortable in it and I think she looks beach and play ready.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I used a cotton lycra blend that I had in my stash and snaps for the closure. Buttons ca also be used and tips for button holes in knits are given in the tutorial.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bmiS7Xg752I/W3DnQO6SfkI/AAAAAAAAHJ4/VIEaKtf8a2gBhpJgSR7Jm1w3IDaFvSRqQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8843ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bmiS7Xg752I/W3DnQO6SfkI/AAAAAAAAHJ4/VIEaKtf8a2gBhpJgSR7Jm1w3IDaFvSRqQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_8843ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Instructions and tech drawings are really well done (as usual with Tread Faction) and included are some tips for sewing knits. For a size 7, I didn't even use up a full meter of fabric and including printing and pattern assembly I spent maybe 90 minutes on this sew.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The second pattern from Tread Faction in this issue is the Ringer Raglan. I just had to make a coordinating tee for Amelia. I used the same cotton lycra blend on the sleeve and used a plain white for the front and back... added a little whimsy with the Big Ocean Appliqués by Swoodson Says.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZI1cOA1WBwo/W3DnR_r50FI/AAAAAAAAHKI/jTm0F5zL9rsOynVQMe5B9k5zVZ3iJaI-gCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8862ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="982" data-original-width="1474" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZI1cOA1WBwo/W3DnR_r50FI/AAAAAAAAHKI/jTm0F5zL9rsOynVQMe5B9k5zVZ3iJaI-gCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_8862ab.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What I love about this raglan is the binding at the sleeve. I was able to use the same red binding on the neckline and the sleeve as I didn on the romper and I just think the contrast makes everything pop.<br />
<br />

<br />
The appliqué was so fun to put together. I used prints that maybe wouldn't go well together for a garment but put them together as an appliqué and I think it turned out really cute!<br />

<br />
<br />
So many fun things to sew in this issue like the Rock Pool Catch and the Saltwater Skirt, but also so many fun things to read too!<br />
There's a great article about formalwear by So Sew Katie. This article gives a good jumping off point to making your own formalwear and couple of those is to use Pinterest as inspiration and not skimp on the quality of fabric. Check it out for yourself.<br />
You'll also find a couple of extra fun tutorials, fun things to sew like the sun glasses case by The Crafting Fiend and the tote bag that can also be used as a beach bag by Libby and Mae.<br />
<br />
Ok, enough from me, besides I need to go sew some more from this issue of One Thimble!<br />
Check out the other stops on the tour!<br />

This time I was pleasently surprised by <a href="https://mammacandoit.com/" target="_blank">Mamma Can Do It</a> and the women's Adalynn.<br />
<br />
It's a very simple design with a great tutorial explaining fit and different fabrics.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gM-23j7HPiE/W2I02OKiepI/AAAAAAAAHJM/iK56lUWE1PE5cOQmSbpm8CviCXFzsj-AQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8741ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1004" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gM-23j7HPiE/W2I02OKiepI/AAAAAAAAHJM/iK56lUWE1PE5cOQmSbpm8CviCXFzsj-AQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8741ab.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Never have I seen a tutorial with a worksheet to factor in stretch of fabric and the desired fit. You may have in the past been disappointed by a garment you made because you just felt it was too big, that may have been because the fabric had a lot of stretch. This worksheet helps you determine what size will be right for you taking into account the stretch of fabric and desired fit and it is so easy to follow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vT4fDmk_RlU/W2I02aSATPI/AAAAAAAAHJI/EMCaU4SKoTIhnrsixkI5HC8jp2zr04_bQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8766ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1004" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vT4fDmk_RlU/W2I02aSATPI/AAAAAAAAHJI/EMCaU4SKoTIhnrsixkI5HC8jp2zr04_bQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8766ab.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So now about the finished dress! The fabric is a "coup de cœur" that I purchased a couple of years ago in Quebec city. The front is a polyester knit blend, the back and sleeves are a rayon lycra blend with a lot of stretch and a fantastic drape. The fit turned out exactly as I wanted it. I followed the worksheet instructions to determine size and printed only the pattern size I needed. I love that the layer feature is available on the Adalynn pattern.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-42tLxN1wodc/W2I02PAL-JI/AAAAAAAAHJU/eMFJmCxQBAQ2UCVPCsj1MFeqF1WbfP7SwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8750ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1056" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-42tLxN1wodc/W2I02PAL-JI/AAAAAAAAHJU/eMFJmCxQBAQ2UCVPCsj1MFeqF1WbfP7SwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_8750ab.jpg" width="422" /></a></div>
<br />
I changed up the sleeve and drafted a cap sleeve to give it more of a "little black dress" look. The pattern has three sleeve lengths included with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8Vq_X8iOo3U/W2I023ZW-7I/AAAAAAAAHJQ/tfz2fXGTWWUMe_OG3Nt-Xf-KJ4FLoJ9pQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8778ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1020" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8Vq_X8iOo3U/W2I023ZW-7I/AAAAAAAAHJQ/tfz2fXGTWWUMe_OG3Nt-Xf-KJ4FLoJ9pQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8778ab.jpg" width="408" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I think this is a great basic pattern and again I can't say enough about the helpful worksheet! Love it!<br />
<br />
Until next time, xx.<br />

So instead of trying to come up with a clever hack to Tabitha I decided to sew up the pattern giving it two different looks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The first look is a classic stripe with a <a href="https://www.clubtissus.com/fr/dentelle-nylon-extensible-p-che" target="_blank">stretch lace</a>, both fabrics available at <a href="https://www.clubtissus.com/" target="_blank">Club Tissus</a>. This look is great for just about anywhere from the office to Sunday brunch.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This pattern has so many options to it that I could have made a different Tabitha for every day of the week. I opted for the boat neckline and yoke lace insert with an added lace hem.<br />

The second look, a <a href="https://www.clubtissus.com/fr/jersey-disney-par-springs-amour-de-mickey-minnie" target="_blank">Mickey Mouse</a> print makes fun loungewear or pyjamas. The red stretch lace adds just the right amount of girly to this top.<br />

This was a fun little experiment, making the same top in different fabrics to change the look of a garment. I went from office to pyjama, but could also have done casual to dressed up. Try it some time!</div>

I love the new collection of patterns by Jalie. My first sew from the collection is 3885 <a href="https://jalie.com/3885-gerald-underwear-sewing-pattern" target="_blank">Gérald boxers</a>. </div>

<br />
<br />
All 27 sizes are included in one pattern and not worry, when printing at home, Gérald by Jalie has the layers feature so you can print only the sizes you need. This pattern also includes long johns and and mid-thigh shorts. The recipient of the new boxers says that fit is spot on and that they're really comfortable... he likes the fact that there's no seam at center back.<br />
<br />

The style from view A sew up quite quickly so I decided to have a little fun with my <a href="http://www.penelope.ca/machines-a-coudre-brother/brother-machine-recouvrement-cv3550-mab3550" target="_blank">Brother CV3550 coverstitch</a>. My favorite pair has to be the ones with the contrasting fabric, in this case a happy accident because I simply didn't have enough of one fabric to make a full pair. The contrast stitcing really give them a fun look.<br />

Hey all! Some of you may have noticed I'm a little MIA on my blog, yes, it's true, I have a dream job that takes up some of my sewing and blogging time. I'll let you in on the dream job at another time, for now let's just celcbrate Playtime and the 19th issue of<a href="https://www.onethimble.com.au/product/one-thimble-issue-19/?ref=91" target="_blank"> One Thimble</a> (affiliate link)! </div>

<br /></div>
This time I've sewn up one project, the Pinky Promise Purse. The original intent was to sew it up for me, but since JubeJube loved it so much I just couldn't say no to her. She loved the size of it and how easy it was to open and close with the magnetic snap.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3tAEpqWR58k/WvbyXiHhfqI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/nSzZ8d6Fsswrhns-TQdGxY36IVS2W3W6gCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0073ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3tAEpqWR58k/WvbyXiHhfqI/AAAAAAAAG5Q/nSzZ8d6Fsswrhns-TQdGxY36IVS2W3W6gCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0073ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I changed the length of the strap and removed the swivel hooks for the simple reason that I didn't have enough time to order and receive them on time for sewing up this project and I didn't find any the recommended 1/2" size at my local store.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The layout of the tutorial for this pattern is layout a little different than what I'm used to seeing. The written text is all on the top half of the page and the photographs of the steps is on the bottom half. This makes it a little harder to follow since I'm not used to it, but it doesn't take away from the tutorial. The photos are clear and it is well written. The pattern pieces all fit well together, and printing and assembling the pattern pieces went well.<br />

The fabric is Bird Watcher found at <a href="http://www.clubtissus.com/fr/catalogsearch/result/?q=bird+watching" target="_blank">Club Tissus</a>. I instantly <i>knew I needed </i>this fabric for the Pinky Promise Purse. The fabric is so vibrant and colorful!<br />

This year, breaking ground is a little more fun for me. Not only am I using a pattern by a designer I have never used before, I also get to use my birthday present that I got a week early! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The pattern is the <a href="https://www.flosstyle.com/product/jukeboxhits/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jukebox Hits by Flosstyle</a>. The pattern is a little more pricey than the average but you know the saying you get what you pay for, well it applies here! This pattern is a fantastic wardrobe builder! You get dresses and tunics and blouses... and a bunch of different options. It's so easy to change the pattern to suit your needs! </div>

<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure what fabric I wanted to use or what style I was going with until after March Break vacation. I walked into my sewing room and there it was...this huge box! For me! It was the <a href="http://www.penelope.ca/machines-a-coudre-brother/brother-machine-recouvrement-cv3550-mab3550" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brother CV3550</a>! Yay! Happy birthday to ME!<br />
First thing, this pattern was designed for woven fabrics, I used a light weight French Terry with very little stretch. I knew that new cover stitch would be fantastic for this project ... and talk about ground breaking!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-heeeCzCvbd0/WqwmMMr1isI/AAAAAAAAGzM/RPEiH3a67mg92GzKmkM2EoPhNl41BP6OACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9690ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1068" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-heeeCzCvbd0/WqwmMMr1isI/AAAAAAAAGzM/RPEiH3a67mg92GzKmkM2EoPhNl41BP6OACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_9690ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I just <i>had </i>to do some fancy stitching and drafted some hip pockets that would be top stitched to the front, then I decided I to add a facing for the rounded hem. For the neckline I used a knit cut on the bias, and then top stiched that to make the style fit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HmtFVjVCHoo/WqwmMS5GeAI/AAAAAAAAGzQ/eYUYCcgIQnchnk-vBfF-McP3C22suv1-gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9691ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HmtFVjVCHoo/WqwmMS5GeAI/AAAAAAAAGzQ/eYUYCcgIQnchnk-vBfF-McP3C22suv1-gCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_9691ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4mvWAP_NMg/WqwmM99h1FI/AAAAAAAAGzU/idfEs6s0N1M7qDTqsAXcR9baRo5mt2aHwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9697ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4mvWAP_NMg/WqwmM99h1FI/AAAAAAAAGzU/idfEs6s0N1M7qDTqsAXcR9baRo5mt2aHwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_9697ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For the front neckline, I simply cut out a continous lap just to add a little something fun I wasn't sure if I was going to add a snap or button closure and once JubeJube tried it on I liked the way it sit and left it like that. And instead of putting the elastic waist casing on the inside, I put it on the outside and inserted a drawstring. This also helped cover up and secure the top of the hip pockets.<br />
<br />
The pattern has so many styles that is was easy to let myself be inspired and just go with it. As you can tell the fit is perfect and all I had to do was fallow the size chart.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I love trying out new designers, and <a href="https://pm-patterns.com/fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">P&M Patterns</a> is new to me. Karine, the designer at P&M Patterns is based in Europe as has recently had all her patterns, landies' and children's, translated to English. The only thing that has not been changed is the paper format. The paper format available for at home printing is 4A so it doesn't fit standard US sized paper. I got over this hurdle but just popping in some legal sized paper and printing according to instructions. Included is a file so you can also have your patterns printed at your local print shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eJYn1fODghs/Wqnc7B48P5I/AAAAAAAAGyo/h-ads2TwRBIB8S3l7JnZOkwHu0SZwe6NwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9712ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eJYn1fODghs/Wqnc7B48P5I/AAAAAAAAGyo/h-ads2TwRBIB8S3l7JnZOkwHu0SZwe6NwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9712ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For this look I used Gus and Lollipop.<br />
<br />
Gus is designed for a woven fabric but I made it in a knit. I love the drape of a rayon lycra knit. This one is so soft and light weight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XMzLk4-TmwM/Wqnc7PS-h-I/AAAAAAAAGyk/PTFwPqEEfwooUF4lXKP4-MF3UPlw0Y86ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9714ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XMzLk4-TmwM/Wqnc7PS-h-I/AAAAAAAAGyk/PTFwPqEEfwooUF4lXKP4-MF3UPlw0Y86ACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9714ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a size 6 according to the chart measurement, I had no need to go down a size due to the fact that I was using a knit. I changed the construciton just a bit since most of assembly was done with the serger. For the sleeves, instead of a flat assembly, I sewed up the side seams first then put in the sleeve as an inset sleeve.<br />
<br />
The bow at the back is simple and elegant.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-taly7qrI5D4/Wqnc69QVdDI/AAAAAAAAGyg/c25qRp8zEusIMb9Im_RlzSACgFlOiSJ5wCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9703ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-taly7qrI5D4/Wqnc69QVdDI/AAAAAAAAGyg/c25qRp8zEusIMb9Im_RlzSACgFlOiSJ5wCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9703ab.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Other details on this top include gathers at the front shoulder seam, the waistband and the sleeve tabs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
About this sweet skirt...<br />
<br />
This skirt has an adjustable elastic waistband at the back and the front lays flat. I didn't want to change any of the details of the hip pocket, they have been designed to perfection!<br />

I shortened the main fabric of the skirt by about an inch so that I could lengthen the contrast band. I just love this fabric and I wanted to see a little more of it on the skirt.<br />

Sizes for Gus and Lollipop range from 2 year to 12 years. The files that you get with your purchase include the tutorial with your choice of French or English, a list of required materials with size charts, home print file for 4A paper (I used legal size and it worked great) and a file for print shop.<br />
<br />
Now the question is; will I make these patterns again.... you can bet on it. Both these patterns are really well put together, the tutorial is easy to understand with clear step-by-step drawings, and they are loaded with fun style! I'm even thinking I need to make Gus in my size!<br />

What happens when I let Amelia choose one of three fabrics... She insists she needs all three of them for one dress. Thank goodness they were all white with a navy print!</div>

<br />
I showed Amelia the listing photo of the <a href="https://gyctdesignsshop.com/collections/girl-patterns/products/rival-raglan-top-tunic-dress-pdf-pattern" target="_blank">Rival Raglan by GYCT</a>. She got very excited at the prospect of having a new spring dress that was comfy and that would replace another dress that she grew out of.<br />
<br />
Amelia actually had a plan and she knew what she wanted so I took full advantage. She was quite clear she wanted the sleeves to have stipes and the skirt to have polka-dots. I added the striped band at the bottom of the skirt to balance out all those prints and in the end she loves it and that's all that really matters!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, I'm so happy to say that sizing is spot on when you follow the size chart! And it's a really quick sew, almost all done with the serger and used a twin needle for hems. You get all the different sleeve lengths in this pattern from long to short and everything in between! The only thing I may have done different from the instructions is adding the clear elastic at the waist in the seam allowance so that everything stays nice and straight and the waistline doesn't get stretched out from wear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
Also, there are two cut lines, one for the t-shirt and one for the dress to add the skirt. I left it t-shirt length since it did give a couple of extra inches to the bodice of the dress. I wanted the dress to have a little bit of a drop waist to it. Amelia really loves that style and I didn't want to disappoint.<br />

I used a cotton lycra blend from my local <a href="https://fabricville.com/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=cotton+lycra" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fabricville</a>.We love this blend, it's so easy to wash and really comfortable to wear!<br />

I can't believe I get to do a third post with <a href="https://monaluna.com/collections/journey-poplin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monaluna Organic Fabrics</a>! The new Journey collection is just so lovely to work with ... come see! </div>

I love that every time I get my hands on some Monaluna Organic fabrics I'm inspired to go out of my comfort zone to make something that I don't normally make. I've admired<a href="https://swoonpatterns.com/?ssp=7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Swoon Patterns</a> (affiliate link) for years, purchased several of their patterns, made a Betty Bowler once but then never got around to making another...until now! I thought the <a href="https://swoonpatterns.com/shop/donna-vintage-handbag/?ssp=7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Donna Vintage bag</a> would be the perfect canvas to show case the <a href="https://monaluna.com/collections/journey-poplin/products/skulls-roses-poplin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skull & Roses</a> print. </div>

I've been aching to make a shirt for Sebas, my oldest. I've also been wanting to take photos of him, he hates the camera. Well I think I was able to have get my cake and eat it too. And to top it off, I got to sew from my fabric stash and use vintage buttons. What could be better... Oh yeah, he likes his pink shirt and he looks fabulous in it! </div>

<br />
<br />
Let's start by talking about the pattern. I used<a href="http://www.clubtissus.com/fr/burda-7045-chemise-pour-hommes" target="_blank"> Burda 7045</a>, a paper pattern. I've come to trust sizing with their patterns, after all I've been using Burda for so many years. The fit tends to be European, on the slim side, just what I needed. I used the style with front and back darts and the sport collar.<br />
<br />
<br />
The fabric, funny enough has been in my stash for a couple of years. It was originally to make myself a shirt. So glad that didn't happen because this color just looks so great on Sebas. The fabric is a wonderful polyester with cotton bengaline, so its easy to care for. And I mentioned vintage buttons... I got them from a shop in Montreal when I was playing tourist with a friend visiting from BC. Most expensive buttons I've EVER put on a shirt, but they are just amazing... you can see them on my instagram post <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deborahzaleski/" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />

<br />
So now, JubeJube and Amelia have been talking, since the beginning of the week, about Pink T-Shirt Day at school. The day that teachers and staff at school talk about being a friend and not the bully. And yes even the boys wear pink. So you can imagine how happy they were to see their big brother wear pink. We need to remove gender association to colors. We need to stop saying pink is for girls and blue is for boys. It's funny how other colors don't get that gender association... yellow, orange, green...<br />

There's always a surprise waiting for us inside and this time in <a href="https://www.onethimble.com.au/product/one-thimble-issue-18/?ref=91" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Issue No.18</a> (affiliate link) is no different.<br />
<br />
One huge surprise for me is the Origami top, I'm wishing it came in my size! I haven't sewn it up yet, but just looking at the photographs in the magazine you can bet it's right up there on my list of want-to-make projects. I did however make the Ladies' Ballerina tie top by The Wolf and the Tree and the Linnden Tote by Annie Zorzo.<br />

First thing about this pattern by The Wolf and the Tree, actually it should be true for any pattern, not just this pattern ... take your measurements and follow the chart. Don't let the size you come up with scare you if its bigger than what you would usually make because in the end it's only a number. The important thing is that it fits you the way you want and that you're comfortable wearing it. Sizing on this pattern in on point when following the size chart! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The fabric was purchased in a little shop, just a 20 minute drive away, and there's always something to discover in this shop at a really great price! I can't be sure of the composition but there's probably some polyester, rayon and spandex. I can tell you that it's soft and cozy and I made sure I had at least 25% stretch to this lovely knit. I could have easily used a cotton lycra blend and it would have been as cozy. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the ties I decided against making them lined simply due to the fact that I was afraid the ties would be too heavy and add extra bulk where I didn't need it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I seem to be noticing a trend here, I may like grey fabric just a little too much. The last three tops I made myself are grey, oh well! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also made the Linnden Tote. The fabric is from my stash, I've had it for a few years. It's a heavier upholstery fabric. This bag was meant to have leather, cork or vinyl accents, and straps but I didn't have leather to work with and I don't have a sewing machine strong enough for it either. I figured I should try it with all fabric to give others the inspiration to make without the leather accents if they so desired. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The only thing I really regret not doing is putting interfacing in my straps. About the design; the tote is big enough, the bottom meausres 17.5 inches by 6 inches. It was designed without a lining but there is an interior zipper pocket, perfect for a cell phone and small wallet. I think its the perfect shopping companion. I do wish there was an option to include a way to snap the bag at the top opening, and I think I'll put that on my next Linnden that I make. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
More things to sew! I have to make sure that JubeJube and Amelia don't get to see these photos because you know they'll ask me to make every single pattern! One of their favorite things is to dress up and well, dress up ballerina style and pretending to be a ballerina do go hand in hand and there's nothing wrong with that but I can hear JubeJubes now, "No Amelia, jeté not plié" and this before 7am! </div>

Besides all the patterns available in One Thimble No.18 you need to check out the articles... Some of you might know I love just about everything vintage, my favorite are vintage sewing machines. Bec Wood in her article, Not Made in China, tells us about her vintage love. </div>

Today is all about something fun that Gemia from<a href="https://phatquartersfabric.com/index.php/shop/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Phat Quarters Fabrics</a> has put together. I think I may have had a hand to play in this one since she did decide to name this cute little poject JubeJube. </div>

Yes I've sewn up an apron using the pattern and I had to plead for volunteers to model it. Amelia was all up for it on the condition that she got to do some baking... Perfect! So she decided she wanted to make brownies. Here are some fun shots of her making one of her Dad's favorite treats and I'll even share the recipe with you so you can make your own treats!

The JubeJube apron was designed with full coverage in mind so it has a range of sizes from preschooler to teens. And no, it's not just for the kitchen, I think it would be great to create an apron for a budding artist so they don't get covered in paint!<br />

The neckstrap is adjustable and you there are different styles of pockets to choose from. On this one I made a simple hip pocket.<br />

I've been looking forward to sharing this project with you for a least a week. Both the fabric design and quilt pattern are from Susan Emory for Michael Miller Fabrics. </div>

This is my second twin sized quilt and with this one, Equal Rights, by <a href="https://www.swirlygirlsdesign.com/store/p64/Equal_Rights_Downloadable_Pattern.html" target="_blank">Swirly Girls Design</a>, I pushed myself to go beyond cutting and sewing on the grain line or cross grain. The 60° angle triangles create a fun design and the ruler used to help cut the pieces is easy to use once you get the hang of it. The rotary cutter has also become a good friend of mine with this poject. The instructions to the pattern were easy to follow and everything went together so nicely.<br />
<br />

When I first saw the fabric it spoke to me of my childhood, those big bold flowers reminded me of a set of sheets I had when I was a child, my borther had the original Star Wars and I had florals... so now you know I'm talking about the 70's.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/shop/collections/hank-clementine.html" target="_blank">Hank & Clementine</a> collection as a whole is just beautiful, the colors are so vibrant and fun. The fabrics I selected are all from the Sprout color way. The greys and mint greens are so soothing and then there's the splash of bright coral. To make the coral really pop I decided to use a coral binding for the quilt. My first instinct was to go with grey, I knew with grey I couldn't go wrong, it was safe to go with grey but I wanted to be a little bold.<br />

One of my favorite things to do with the left overs is to make a throw pillow cover. I had a few scraps left for the front of the pillow cover and the back of the pillow cover is the backing I used on the quilt. I used the same pattern and scale as I used for the quilt but with far fewer pieces. I used an invisible zipper for the closure. I store my quilts in the pillow covers when I'm not using the quilt.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So now that this one had a chance to wrap herself in the quilt and just lounge, she looked at me quite seriously and said, "Mom, can I keep it."<br />
I couldn't help but laugh and answered no! I actually love that my Sabrina wanted it for herself, she might get the next one though... we'll see.<br />

This time of year is all about comfort, and style. I'm still trying to lose the holiday weight and I wanted something comfy and cozy but with more style than my pyjamas!<br />
<br />
Meet Tessa, by DG Patterns. The ultimate sweater or dress in style and comfort!<br />

I made Tessa with a shawl collar but you also get the V-neck and round necklines in this pattern. The pattern has been drafted in sizes 4-22. The sweater is well drafted, but I did have issues with the shawl collard and had to draw myself another pattern piece. I did speak to Daniela, the designer at DG patterns, about the issue and I'm sure she will be fixing the collar pattern piece. Follow the size chart to pick your size and remember it's only a number! Don't rely on ready to wear sizes to pick the size to sew up because you might end up with a surprise and it won't fit! I'm a size 10-12 in ready to wear clothing and I just made myself a size 18, but then again I went with my full bust measurement and not my over bust and do a full bust adjustment as I would usually do for a more fitted look.</div>

So I have comfort, and add a cute little scarf and there you have style! Even without the scarf the end result is very cute!<br />

I did change the hem line just a bit. I didn't want to leave it as is because I wanted to hide my butt when wearing leggings. I extened the back by 4.5 inches and the front by 3 inches and stitched the sides to the original hem line. I rounded off the corners and finished off the hem with a twin needle. </div>

<br />
<br />
So here it is, the question... will I be making another one? I think so, I don't have a reason not to, the fit was good, I like the style and the instructions were easy to understand. I do wish there was a little more info on the type of knits we should use on the pattern and the percentage of elasticity it should contain but the end result is what I expected so I'm pleased with it!<br />
