Are you excited to see what pattern from the SewFab bundle I sewed up today? (Link to purchase the bundle is at the bottom of the post) 

Today I sewed up Sew Fearless' Pajama Eaters! Now if you have seen this pattern elsewhere you have surely seen (or look in the image at the bottom of the post) that this pattern is usually a but more "monster" ish. Now I have two little girls, and the oldest doesn't really appreciate taking things with teeth to bed. So I decided to girl up this pattern a bit and did a monkey!

I made the face out of felt and stitched it on before sewing the pillow together.

I also, of course, had to add a cute monkey tail!

The premise of the pajama eater is that it eats PJ's thus ensuring your child has a spot for their jammies and they are easy to find. But my kids eat breakfast in their jammies and being only 3 and 1 this means jammies get dirty nearly everyday. So we use the pajama eater to keep the special cards and notes ! Yes this little monkey is a love note eater! He gets nothing but love and encouragements for breakfast!

See all those little cards and notes :) We like to write my daughter(s) notes on a regular basis, even though they can't read them yet I like to think that when they get to teenagers and are all angry at the world they will look back and read these childhood notes and hopefully take it a bit easier on us ! 

Now as promised - the bundle information! All the good stuff is below! You can also keep up to date on all things Scientific Seamstress and sisboom by following on facebook and in our facebook group

Now That I have shared the basics of the sale here is the dress!!!

The Carousal dress is of course super cute not layered and as a dress, but I also found that I it cute layered with a tee and some pants underneath! (I made it just a touch shorter than the pattern)

The pattern is for a tiered twirly skirt, I decided to do a patchwork layer in my skirt as well though, why you ask? Well, because I had a half a dozen FQ's to use up :) That is correct - only 6 fat quarters and you can re-create this look!

The back of the dress is a solid piece but the bottom ruffle goes all the way around the dress. 

It closes with that nifty tie on the front and is layered and twirly and just plain adorable! I LOVE it styled over the Easy fit pants (but it would also look adorable over the skinnies that are in the sewfab bundle!)

The pattern has very few pieces to print - yay for saving ink, and pieces together perfectly! 

Just one of the super cute patterns in the sewfab bundle! Stay tuned to this blog all week for more sewfab bundle sewing! Also don't forget to follow us on Facebook and in our Lab Group to keep up to date and chat with us! We love our fans and love connecting with you all !

Today I want to show you The gorgeous Nituna Jacket, pattern by Figgy's! This gorgeous pattern is one of the 26 patterns in the SewFab sale (link to buy the bundle is at the bottom of the post).

I lucked out and found this gorgeous wool plaid for 99C a meter at a local fabric warehouse basement sale! I only bought 2 yards though (so silly I know - but I had JUST started sewing at that time). Anyways this fabric has been sitting in my stash a few years now and I knew the moment I saw the sewfab bundle and the Nituna jacket I HAD to make it in this wool! 

I lined the coat in a super cozy red plaid fleece I had on hand.

I made the coat a size 4/5 and a 6/7 in length. My girl only wears a 4T now so it is a bit big on her, but I wanted it to fit come spring as well.  

The back of the coat has a gorgeous box pleat detail. and the hood is nice and roomy, I wish I had this coat in my size to be honest!

I added the black strips to the front pockets so they wouldn't get lost in the plaid. and I used oversized buttons I thankfully had 4 of on hand! (Those buttons were a thrift store find by the way!) 

My girl insisted on taking her umbrella with her on the walk, in case it decided to rain. lol. Kids.

Now as promised, the SewFab details! I LOVE every pattern I've sewn from this bundle and cannot wait to show you more patterns throughout the sale that I have sewn! and at this price it is a steal of a deal!

Welcome to the Fall and Winter 2013

Sew Fab e-pattern Sale Event!

Last February was the first ever Sew Fab e-pattern Sale and it was so successful and was so well received that Jenny Yarbrough of The Southern Institute, the creator and administrator of the sale, decided to have more!  This sale is bigger and better than the first, with plenty of patterns to get you through the fall and winter (if you live on this side of the hemisphere), and a few warm weather patterns thrown in for those of you who live on the other side of the world.  You'll also find more gender neutral patterns for those of you who are sewing for boys.  And what about you?  Of course there are a few women's patterns thrown in for some selfish sewing too! Over the past several weeks a lot of behind the scenes planning has taken place to bring you this newest bundle of ePatterns from many of the top established and up and coming online sewing pattern designers.  The result is a bundle of 26 PDF sewing patterns that you're going to love! For one week only, twenty-six pattern designers have come together to bring you 26 of their best PDF patterns, valued together at well over $2oo.oo, for the incredible price of $29.95!!!  That’s over 80% off of the combined retail value!  Plus you can enter to win a dream of a giveaway with several prize packages from some of your favorite online fabric shops!

For less than $30.00 you will have a library of resources that you can use over and over again.

The designers that have joined this sale are experts in their craft.  Each designer has contributed one of their favorite patterns to create a bundle that is sure to please!  Whether you are sewing for your own family or making gifts for others, these are patterns that you will love to use.

If you’ve never sewn with a PDF pattern before, let me tell you how great it is!  After downloading your pattern instructions and your pattern, you will print out the pattern itself, creating pattern tiles, if you will.  Simply tape the tiles together to create the full pattern!  At that point you can cut out the size that you need and pin the paper pattern directly to your fabric, or you can trace the pattern size that you need onto sewing paper or tracing paper and cut it out, saving the paper pattern for later when you need to sew another size.  Pdf patterns are so convenient because you can print them out as many times as you need!
