The Women's Waterfall Raglan Blog Tour

Hello,

 It has been a while since I last wrote a blog post. Life has been super busy lately and a lot has happened. Luckily, I have still found the time to sew a few things here and there. Also, I've starting sewing for myself, which is a huge change for me. This time I had the pleasure to test for one of my favorite designers, Gabriella Longfish from Chalk and Notch. Her clothing designs and pattern drafting skill are impecable. It is always an enjoyable experience to sew one of her designs!

Here are a few of the Waterfall tops I've made. 

The Peek a Boo Hoodie & The Rouche and Division Top

The past two weeks I've been testing the new patterns designed by Lil Luxe collection. 

The first pattern  I got test is The Peek A Boo Hoodie. 

This is a great pattern! It is perfect for the cold weather we are currently experiencing and the kids love the design. It is comfortable and trendy. 

There are two key features this pattern offers:

- thumb holes on the sleeve cuffs

-kangaroo pocket (perfect for keeping those hands warm)

This pattern is offered as a PDF download in sizes 18 months- size 8 and it's for both boys and girls! 

Here is my son showing the thumb holes!

As you can see, this pattern is perfect for both boys and girls. I'm so happy I finally got to sew something for my son :D I feel like there are way more patterns for girls than boys.

I love how big and cozy this hoodie is! I'll need to make a couple more, since they get them dirty so quickly.

Catching up! and Boy shirts

Sorry it has been very quiet over here. Lately I've had a difficult time keeping up with my blog. It seems like there is always something I need to do and jut forget about writing a blog post.

I've been sewing a lot! I've also had the opportunity to test patterns for some of my favorite designers (more on this on the next posts).

On this post, I would like to share some of the shirts I recently made for my son. For some reason, I'm more inclined to sew girls clothes than boys clothes. There are also a lot more sewing patterns available for girls, than for boys. But that is something I would like to change, because I don't think it's fair for boys.

Do you agree??

For  that reason, I decide to sew some fun shirts for my son to wear! I started looking at the fabric I had, and thought it would be fun to mix and match the different fabrics to make these shirts. I also drew the pattern for this shirts and used an existing shirt in my sons closet for reference.

Here are the shirts I made:

Aren't they fun?! I loved how they turned out and also liked how the pocket gave it a more classic look. I think I will be making more of this style of shirts in the near future :D

My son loved the shirts! Can you tell? :)

Thanks for visiting my blog. Come back soon!
