Perfect Pattern Parcel #2 (Celestial Tee and Hosh Pants)

Sewing

Remember the post I wrote about independent pattern designers a couple of weeks ago? I mentioned a new project called Perfect Pattern Parcel that bundles and sells sewing patterns from indie designers. The pattern bundles are only available for a limited time and part of the proceeds go to an educational charity called Donors Choose.

Perfect Pattern Parcel #2 (no longer in business) includes five stylish and modern sewing patterns for girls’ clothes.

I was asked to sew at least one of the patterns, but with so many great choices I ended up sewing 2 of them. And I’ll definitely be using the other patterns when I get a chance!

The patterns included in the sale are:

Hanami Top or Dress by Straight Grain
Hosh Pants by LoubeeClothing
Celestial Tee by Figgy’s
September Tunic & Dress by Too Sweets Patterns – no longer available
Caroline Party Dress by Mouse House Creations

BONUS pattern:
Prefontaine Shorts by Made With Moxie

Perfect Pattern Parcel #2

First, I sewed Figgy’s Celestial Tee for my 3 year old. (Maybe because it reminded me of Celestial Seasonings Tea…and I love a good cup of tea!) It was very quick and easy. I managed to finish the whole thing during naptime. And I loved that the printed pattern only used 5 sheets of paper…very little taping!

My girls really need some good neutral pieces to mix and match with their bright patterned little girl clothes, so I chose solid fabrics in basic colors.

The only thing I changed was the hemline. I added about an inch in the front and shortened it about an inch in the back. I like the hi-low hemline, but I prefer it to be a little more subtle.

I had plenty of fabric left over and decided to make another for my 7 year old. Since the first shirt came together so quickly, I decided to experiment and add a printed fabric to the upper back.

The printed fabric is a sturdier knit and worked much better around the neckline. The tissue knit would have looked nicer if I had used a knit stabilizer (which was mentioned in the pattern, and I skipped because I didn’t have any…). I also stretched the second neckline a little tighter than the first. There is plenty of room for the tee to fit around a child’s head, so tightening up the neckline seemed to help keep the shape and structure.

I also decided to make some Hosh Pants by LouBee Clothing for my 3 year old. She really loves her stretch skinny jeans, and the Hosh Pants have a similar fit. I chose a gray stretch denim, which worked very well.

She’s between a size 3T and 4T in length, but has a tiny waist. I noticed some of the other finished pants looked loose in the seat, so I chose the smaller size. That was definitely the right call for her.

Her “frave-rite” skinny jeans have back pockets, so I added some little patch pockets as well.

This bundle is only available for a couple more days, until the 18th! (Individual patterns will still be available from the designers after that…)

    Sara, I am loving on these grey Hosh Pants. (I’ve wanted a pair of grey jeans for myself for a while now. ) And the blocked Celestial Tee is so smart looking. <3

      Thanks! The grey stretch denim is from Hancock fabrics. It’s pretty decent quality for the price and has just the right amount of stretch. They also have it in red and purple, but I’m not that brave.

Last day to join the Immersion Course! If you have ever dreamed of making beautiful designs, Bonnie can teach you how to get what’s in your head into the computer and then how to make money from licensing your designs to companies for use on products. 

As a member of Bonnie’s support team, I’ll be there to make sure you don’t feel lost. There’s room for you...as Bonnie often reminds us!

Look what just came in the mail! Notebooks! This w Look what just came in the mail! Notebooks! This was a test batch to check quality and I’m thoroughly impressed.

I’ll be listing extra in the shop soon, but first dibs go to anyone that signs up for the Immersion Course using my link. I’ll be sending a small gift package and scheduling a course success/ coaching call with you!

Just a reminder that the last day to enroll in Immersion is tomorrow! If you are like me and overthink things until the last day, you are not alone. 

I know it’s a huge decision. I have an Immersion stories highlight if you want to know more or go to my profile to find a link to the info page. Message me all your questions!

Reminder: there’s still a couple more days to enroll in the Surface Pattern Design Immersion Course or the free mini-course from Bonnie! Links in my profile...as always. Keep messaging with questions! ☺️
It’s been a minute since I showed my face here! It’s been a minute since I showed my face here! ☺️

I wanted to get a little personal today. If you’re here for sewing & crafty stuff...stay tuned. I’m not abandoning you. 🙂 If you saw my stories last week, you may have learned that I’m deep in design mode for a few weeks, working with @bonniechristine on the Surface Pattern Design Immersion Course.

When I discovered Spoonflower (about 8 years ago!) and realized I could create my own fabric, I had this far off “maybe someday” dream to create a collection of designs for a fabric company.

I spent many years learning bits and pieces of design and business skills. But a couple of years ago I got more serious about making my dream a reality. 

Last year, I made an investment in myself and I joined the Immersion Course with Bonnie Christine. It was truly the community support and confidence that I gained that propelled me forward this year. Just a few weeks after Immersion ended I signed a licensing deal for children’s wall art with Oopsy Daisy and a few months after that...I signed a contract with a fabric company!

You guys...Bonnie is SO genuine and generous in everything she does. ❤️ It spills over into this beautiful and inspiring community that cheers each other on every step of the way. 

This year, Bonnie invited me to join her support team to help encourage new students through the course and provide technical support for all those tricky Illustrator issues. 🙌🏻

This course is for anyone that wants to invest in their creative career. My “wildest dream” came true this year. I’m actually feeling a bit lost right now because I need a bigger dream!

Whether you have a few years of experience like I did when I joined or you have never used design software...Bonnie will walk you through the ENTIRE process. This is like a college-level course on design and creative business. We have many older students starting a second career, people that just graduated design school but don’t know how to practically start an art-based business, and people from dozens of countries around the world. It’s a beautiful, diverse community filled with people taking steps toward their creative business goals.

I always draw flowers anyway. I’m hoping some of the local botanical gardens open back up this year. We have some really great inspiration nearby and flowers will start blooming soon!

It’s the little bits of beauty that inspire me the most. What are you looking forward to this Spring?

My iPad is at the fix-it shop, so of course, I’m feeling inspired today. ☺️ Maybe I should try some actual sketching and planning on paper with a pencil...😜

I don’t usually decorate with themed stuff, but these are fun to make and add some joyful, non-tacky hearts around the house for Valentine’s Day. 💕 I popped the link in my profile buttons. There are videos in the blog posts too. 

Also, I shared some personal stuff in my stories today!
