Club Aztec Greenstyle Hudson Hoodie

You don’t see much of this kid on here because 1- he’s too cool for mom-made’s usually and 2- he’s super picky about his clothes, period.

He received this hoodie for Christmas and immediately wanted me to replicate it because he loved it so much. I gladly accepted his challenge!

Good thing I knew where to get some awesome Aztec french terry!

I picked up some solid charcoal french terry to go along with it- all from Raspberry Creek Fabrics.

I used Greenstyle’s Hudson Hooded T-shirt in size XS. Another reason I never sew for this kid is because he’s right in between boys and men’s sizes which makes it difficult to find patterns that fit. This pattern has a great size range (chest measurements from 34″-53″)!

I lined the hood in Aztec and added a drawstring and casing but otherwise followed the pattern. The fit is great but we’ll change a few things next time for his preferences (picky, picky kid!).

I’m loving the final coloring of the Aztec. The red is actually a deep burgundy and the colors are so vibrant.

And yes, he is wearing shorts in below freezing weather. Are all boys like that?!! I promise you he has a closet full of pants and you don’t need to send them our way 😉

Finn by Blaverry

I love a good basic, simple pattern. I’m not usually into ruffles and frills so when I had the chance to work with Christie at Blaverry I jumped at the opportunity. Her style just fits with ours perfectly!

I sewed up the Finn top but extended the peplum to make it dress length. I love the neck binding. Such a nice, clean finish.

I used gorgeous Club Feathers from Raspberry Creek.

I think she likes it, wouldn’t you say?!!!

It’s got that comfy, twirliness that she loves but the cute curve of the peplum skirt adds a hipness that I adore.

We layered it with a jacket, boots, and scarf to wear while it’s cooler. The pattern comes with a long sleeve option but I’m dreaming of Spring here.

Such a versatile dress!

I love that we can accessorize this fabric with any color to really make it pop.

It’s amazing what a little Taylor Swift can do to pump up a photo shoot! I got a ton of wiggly, blurry picks cuz’ this girl likes to shake it, shake it off!

Make sure you head on over to Blaverry to check out all the chic, adorable patterns from dresses to pants to stylish jackets- so much cuteness in one shop!

Club Sloane Sweater

I have been so excited for the new Club line buffalo check. I have a serious plaid crush right now and this new print is just perfection!

I used the french terry version with the Club dots in cotton/lycra to make me a Love Notions Sloane Sweater (affl. link).

I love the color blocking option with this pattern. I used a simple coral french terry but I have a solid version with a woven plaid contrast I can’t get out of my head!

I was inspired by this pin. What are your thoughts on the boxy sweater/sweatshirt trend? I honestly can’t decide if I like this silhouette on me. I love that it’s different from my other sweatshirts and it is beyond comfortable! I think paired with skinny jeans it’s flattering and cute but hey, I totally want to wear it with my favorite joggers and I’m afraid I’ll look like I stepped out of the retirement home in my sweatsuit.

This pattern comes with a slimmer view and high-low shirttail hem option also. It really is a versatile pattern. There are some amazing sweater knit versions out there.

This new Club french terry sews like a dream and is so soft! I can’t wait to pair this buffalo check with a floral for my girls. And those dots! Possibly my favorite fabric ever! It’s buttery and coordinates with EVERYTHING!

I’m going to leave you with my late night sassy pants pose! Make sure you pick up the new Club Line from Raspberry Creek Fabrics and the Sloane Sweater for some serious comfy perfection!

Club Line 2 for the Boys

The boys in my house have been loving the new Club line from Raspberry Creek Fabrics, too!

I seriously can’t get over how versatile these prints are!!

So far they’ve gotten things made with the Club aztec and buffalo check but I think stripes are in their future too.

Charlie was the first up. He got a comfy new pair of Mini Hudson Pants out of buffalo check french terry.

He always grabs sports pants when he dresses himself and I love that these have a bit more style.

This time he got a 3t with a 4t length for the perfect fit!

Next up, Alex requested a tee like Tanner got out of the first Club line.

I used the Jalie Men’s/Boys T-shirt again. I like the slim fit but next time I’ll need to lengthen the sleeves. Too short for his taste even if mom thinks it looks great.

I used the Club aztec in cotton lycra and solid white and charcoal cotton lycra from Raspberry Creek also.

I think it’s a win and he loves it paired with his new joggers out of this french terry. I used Gracious Threads Lazy Day Lounge Pants for him since he’s sized out of the Mini Hudsons (they both go to size 10 but the LDLP was a few inches longer). We modified the pockets to be like the Hudsons.

Finally, Charlie got another Samson Sweater from Love Notions (affl. link).

I did a simple version with a lined hood and added length. I used this french terry combined with the aztec.

This is a first round aztec strike off and the colors have changed a bit since. The red in the print now is deeper and is a great match for the burgundy in the shop.

I love, love these prints on my boys and Tanner has already requested a hoodie with the aztec. I love that they let me sew for them and have even been spending a lot of time in the sewing room with me this winter break. My big boys both made their own pj pants and love to help pair and cut fabrics.

I’m also loving any excuse to get pictures of these two together. Charlie is such a mini Alex and it’s so fun to see them together. Best friends one minute and bugging each other the next 😉

An Extraordinary Girl for me!

Raspberry Creek’s newest line is HERE!!! I was so excited to get my hands on actual yardage and I’ve been dying to make my own version of this tee.

A free afternoon and VOILA!

I used the new Club stripes and dots and this mustard from the shop- all in cotton/lycra.

I added a bands to the sleeves and bottom to bring in some more mustard.

I also had to bring the back shoulder piece down in the front a couple more inches than called for. The neckline was too wide for my preferences but otherwise it was a great sew. I did a size small graded to a medium in the waist.

It’s just the perfect pattern to showcase and mix your favorite prints. You can pick up the pattern here and pick up the gorgeous fabric at Raspberry Creek Fabrics.

Club Fabric Line 2 Preview

Raspberry Creek Fabrics has a new Club fabrics line coming!!! Are you as excited as I am?!!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on some strikeoffs and got sewing right away!

Payton got an Extraordinary Girl tee from Filles a Maman out of the new Club floral mixed with Riley Blake dots and solid coral (all from Raspberry Creek).

This is quite possibly my favorite t-shirt I’ve made. The colors are just right up my alley and that floral is just to die for!

I did Dressage Leggings from Jennuine Designs for Sophie. They were perfect for a little color blocking with the new Club aztec and black cotton spandex.

These are the best fitting leggings on my skinny mini and I can’t wait to make her a million more.

You can preorder the new Club Fabrics line in the shop. The best part- It will all come in cotton spandex and french terry! I’ll be sharing more projects in the coming weeks leading up to it’s arrival. I can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on this goodness!

Shwin Designs Eleanor

There are very few patterns that I make multiple times- not because I don’t love them but I just have soooo many patterns and too little time. The Eleanor dress and top is one of those patterns that I’ve been dying to make again though.

The darling collar and puffy sleeve are just too cute for words!

I used Raspberry Creek Club Fabrics and let Payton pick the combo. A happy customer means it will actually get worn.

She loves the hearts and polka dots are always a good idea, right?!!!

I shortened the sleeves (a tad too much) and added bands but if she’s anything like her momma they’ll get pushed up anyways.

Ready to do some pre-Black Friday shopping? Have you signed up for Shwin and Shwin’s newsletter yet? Head over here and get signed up. There are some AH-mazing deals and promo codes in the newsletter (like $3 patterns- the Eleanor is up today). The rest of the week is full of great offers you won’t want to miss!

Kids Clothes Week- Fall 2015

My favorite time of year in the virtual sewing world is Kids Clothes Week. It’s a week of inspiration and motivation to build my kids wardrobes.

This KCW I’ll be out of the country and so sad to not be sewing along with everyone. Before I left, I couldn’t help myself and whipped up a few things for Charlie.

He asked me the other day to please make him something so he could have a photo shoot. I was flattered until I realized he was in it for the prize I give the kids when they ‘model’ for me. I sewed up a couple of Recess Raglan‘s and two pair of Mini Hudson’s.

I’d been crushing big time on this darling Birch knit from Raspberry Creek Fabrics. It is so soft and lovely and I’m kinda jealous of this shirt.

I made up a second raglan, this time using this solid white and the Club diamonds. We are loving Where the Wild Things Are and this vinyl from Sew Fancy iron-on vinyl is just darling!

This boy is all about comfy pants so Mini Hudson Pants are so perfect for him. A little more stylish than his running pants but still so cozy, especially out of french terry.

He got one pair out of light grey french terry with charcoal accents and a second all charcoal pair. On the darker pair I added moto-inspired knee patches and I really, really like the look.

He also got a cheater tee made from an Old Navy raglan with another cute vinyl added.

Anyone who has ever attempted to photograph a 3-year-old know just how many pictures were taken to get these that were semi-blog worthy. He’s such a busy guy!

Are you joining in on Kids Clothes Week? I wish I was sewing along with everyone but I’m off enjoying the adventure of a lifetime.

Raspberry Creek Club Fabrics

So friends are great, right? Then friends that have a fabric store in their basement are even better. The moment I met Diana I knew we’d be great friends. We have kids the same ages, she is amazingly talented in so many ways, and we shared a love of sewing that you just don’t find much these days. I’m so excited to get to work for her a little bit and to help spread the word about her next adventure- her custom knit line, Club Fabrics.

I had so much fun sewing up strike offs and trying to include all my kids, because of course they love the fabric as much as I do!

Little Charlie loved his Me Matey Muscle tank by Patterns for Pirates. He thought it showcased his huge biceps, I thought it showcased his beautiful farmer tan (wink, wink). The fabric is 95% cotton, 5% spandex, so it’s so soft and has excellent recovery, perfect for just about everything but especially nice on sweet toddler skin.

I whipped up the free Slouchy Beanie Hat from Heidi and Finn and all the kids were fighting to get their hands on it. I think the boys will end up sharing it, unless Charlie hides it and keeps it for himself.

Tanner has been begging me to recreate his favorite t-shirt he got for back to school. I was nervous as heck to sew for him, teenagers are pickyyyyy! We both are so happy with the final tee though and he’s even asked for a few more. Phew!

Not too shabby, right?! I used Jalie’s Men’s and Boy’s t-shirt pattern and I’m excited to have it in my pattern stash. One pattern that fits my toddler and my hubby?! That’s a winner for sure!

Club fabrics are now in the shop. All but the floral are ready to ship! We just learned that the floral will be available in french terry, too! Floral french terry?!!! Swoon!!! And if french terry is what you’re looking for Raspberry Creek Fabrics is THE place to be.
