Such an exciting post today! I love getting to be part of the creation process with pattern designers. Today I’m sharing about a new pattern release from Chalk and Notch as well as celebrating the Chalk and Notch patterns one year anniversary. Excitement is floating …
Fall is here and what better way to celebrate than to sew up a vest for the changing of the seasons?! If you don’t know me, I’m one of those Pumpkin Spice fall girls. The ones that everyone keeps wishing would stop celebrating the fabulous …
I’m back with a new pattern release. I helped test the Peppercorn Pants and Shorts from Pumpkin & Bunny Patterns. If you are new to P&B, the patterns tend to feature fine sewing skills to create pieces that will last even if you don’t have fancy finishing machines. This is a great feature this pattern. Beginners can learn some great new skills when purchasing this pattern.
This pattern caught my eye several months back with the designer posted a tiny little sneak of the sailor style front. I’m a total sucker for a sailor front and have never actually made anything with this style. (I do own several short patterns, but haven’t made them…AH!) I’m very happy with the finished product and know my girls with get some use out of them. We went to dinner at Chic-fil-a after our little photo session and we got so many complements on her pants. That is always a nice feeling after you have put time into a project.

If you are on the fence about the flat felled seams, do not be afraid. They look so nice and have such a rewarding feeling when you look at your completed project. I hadn’t made anything with a flat felled seam for several years and it was nice to remember how such a simple feature can add to the style and quality of a piece.
I do love how these pants turned out. I’m sure I’ll use this pattern again. I think I accomplished some of the best top stitching of my life on the pockets of these pants, so I’ll be keeping them around well after the girls grow out of them just to admire. 🙂

I think this wraps up my little review. Let me know if you are planning to make these adorable little pants in the comments. Happy Sewing.
