Project Run and Play’s latest collaboration is here. Project Street Style is a collection of patterns for kids with a cool downtown vibe. I was thrilled to get to work with Lisa of Mabey She Made It again on a photoshoot for the latest lookbook. These fun photoshoots are really my absolute favorite. Cute kids, cool clothes, good friends- yes, please!
Project Street Style includes 7 new patterns from past PRP designers. I love that they all have multiple options to them making this a super versatile bundle. There are three unisex patterns, the Senpai Bomber Jacket, the Easy Street Tee, and the City Lights Cape. Then there are two bottoms patterns; the Stoplight Skirt and the Metro Pants and Shorts. Rounding out the collection is two girl patterns with loads of options, the Via Top, Tunic and Dress, and the Indigo Dress and Romper.
The Via pattern by Sofilantjes is a showstopper. It’s a color-blocked tee, tunic, or dress with loads of sleeve options as well. I chose the dress with long sleeves since we’re moving into cooler weather here. I used scuba knit paired with faux leather accent pieces. This pattern is perfect for using up all those fabric scraps.
My tween was thrilled with the theme of this collection. She’s a huge trend follower and is loving all things 90’s right now. For her birthday, she saved her money and splurged on a pair of boots. They were absolutely perfect for this look and were the jumping-off point to picking fabrics and pattern options. She is wearing patterns by Audrey, the amazing woman behind Project Run and Play. The Stoplight Skirt has three options; a pencil skirt, midi, and maxi all with unique details. I sewed up the pencil skirt in faux leather and ponte for a great structured look. I love how quickly it sewed up and the color-blocked sides give you lots of choices to spice things up a bit.
The top is the Easy Street Tee, a relaxed dolman style tee with cuffs and a long-sleeve option too. I used a fun ribbed velvet for a little texture and color. I made her size according to her chest measurements and like that I can size up or down for different looks.
The final pattern I sewed up from this collection was the Senpai Bomber jacket from Sew Chibi Designs. I love Kat’s playful style and it was fun to take her pattern and make it our own. The jacket is a boxier style, slightly cropped and comes with loads of extras. There are fun numbers and letter templates for a true letterman style jacket. You can add a lining, pockets, and go with a collar or hood neckline. My little man wanted an easy to wear hoodie that he could keep on all day. I used a french terry/sweatshirt fleece combo for a light layer that he has worn constantly since it came off my machine. He wanted a tiger graphic for the back (thank you Cricut Design Space) and picked his favorite number for the front. I used a flocked vinyl to really up the cool factor.
This collection was so fun to work on. It brought back so many memories from my own childhood of exploring new cities and the excitement that was in the air. There’s just something about heading downtown. The food, the sights, the people… the energy is so invigorating!
What pattern will you sew up first? With so many to choose from, the sweet kiddos in your lives will be set and will be the coolest kids around!

Such a great theme, and you made so many cute outfits! Also – your daughter made an excellent choice in investing in a pair of Doc Martens. I have two chunky-heeled pairs that I bought in the late 90s that I still wear (have had them resoled once), and I just bought another of their styles for my birthday this year. She can wear those for the rest of her life if she wants to!
