I got to try some jersey knit fabric from Fabric Wholesale Direct and sewed a couple outfits for Theo :) I decided to sew up a couple fan favorites, the mini modern joggers and the classic hoodie. I added a pocket and lined hood to the classic hoodie (both taken from the free hoodie). I [...]

The geo raglan sweatshirt has a bit of edge to it, if you're looking for a unique outfit, pair this pattern with some track pants and add a little knee patch like I have on Theo above! There's no special skills to get the look, it's just sewn a little different than the classics. Here's [...]
I am so happy to show the updated track pants. I've been making this mod for my kids for awhile and finally got them published to include the cuffs and the changed pocket!! The waistband is more simple than you would expect! It's like any elastic casing just has 3 rows instead of one! Here's [...]

Instead of measuring, cutting, sometimes getting it wrong. It'll be [...]

So here is a similar pattern to the summer romper with leg options and a pocket detail! The pattern is appropriate for a beginner, you can preview some [...]
It's been awhile since I offered a free pattern so I decided it's about time! I made the ringer tee as an easy, fast style that anyone can try out. Even as a first project! The pattern also has the new layers feature you can read about here. I will show a short tutorial below [...]
