Happy Mail - Peek-a-Boo Patterns Rough n' Tumble Pants
Peek-A-Boo Pattern's Rough and Tumble pants sewing pattern is on sale this weekend.
I've been looking for a new cargo / jeans style pant pattern for my kids (and myself but that's another post) for a while now.
I have this one from McCalls but the pant legs are huge and I mean really massive and baggy, Little Miss hates the pants I've made her with this pattern and Little Dude is years off growing into it.
The Rough and Tumble pants are unisex so they'll do for both my kidos. They've got pockets whoop whoop!! Front and back pockets too. And optional knee reinforcement which feels like a great idea for kid's pants and I can leave it off if I want a smarter pair of pants. Like most Peek-A-Boo patterns they go up to pre-teen which I love. Lately I've been feeling like I find a pattern I love, get to grips with it and my kids love the garments then before I know it they've grown out of it and I have to track down a new one which may or may not suit us. This McCalls pattern was bought to replace this fantastic toddler sewing pattern from Burda. I've lost count of the number of times I've sewn this pattern but my youngest is about to grow out of the largest size.
Hopefully the Rough and Tumble pants pattern will be the solution. The only thing that wasn't exactly what I was looking for is that it doesn't include a shorts option. This should just be a matter of chopping off the bottom half of the pant leg so it's no big deal.
I'll let you know how I get on sewing it up!
Alex and Anna PJs from Peek-A-Boo Patterns
My first sew using Alex and Anna PJs from Peek-a-Boo Patterns.
They look a little slim fitting for my Little Miss but we'll see how she likes them. The neckband was much thinner than I used to which was a bit fiddly. I think I'll increase the width next time I sew these up. The cuffs look too chunky to me it's intended to be a grow with me option I'm not sure I'm liking it bug we'll see what Little Miss makes of it.
Overall a quick and easy sew that I'll definitely be making again.

Comfy Cosy Slippers - Black Denim
Made with reclaimed denim and lined with fake fur. Soles are made from two layers of waterproof fabric sewn in place as one piece.
Closed back style made according to pattern instructions.

Another Pair of Comfy Cosy Slippers
Another pair of Comfy Cosy Slippers sewn up just like my last pair - https://simply-crafting.blogspot.com/2019/12/how-to-sew-comfy-cozy-slippers-step-by.html. But this time I've used some fake fur I bought to make teddy bears that my kids would never appreciate. The denim is cut from an old pair of jeans that was destined to become a romper but some drastic mistake designated it to the rag bag.
My last pair wore through the soles so this time I've used two layers of tough waterproof fabric for the soles. Hopefully this pair will last a little longer.
Kids Navy Polo Shirt - Sewing Pattern Review Peek-a-Boo Declan Pullover
I'm just a little bit in love with the Declan Pullover pattern from Peek-a-Boo Patterns. It's such a cute little stash buster.
I've been struggling to find a pattern for a simple kids top that would suit both my Little Miss and Little Dude. Most importantly I wanted a pattern could be made using some of my stash of cheaper fabrics. A lot of my stretch fabric stash doesn't have enough stretch to make a cute raglan like the Mega Max by Max and Meena. Those that do stretch seem to have terrible recovery so they end up over stretched and looking scruffy very quickly.
The placket on this polo style short if the perfect solution. It's really easy to make (I promise, I know it looks complicated but it really isn't). And it looks so freaking adorable!!
The Declan pullover pattern comes with long and short sleeved options as well as a collar, Henley neckband or a hood so this is going to be a great all year round pattern.
I do love me a little bit of contrast particularly on kids clothes and even more so when I'm stash busting. The Declan pullover has been an awesome pattern for creating some really striking contrast designs and really making the most of my scrap stash.
With sizes form newborn to 12 years the pattern will cover both my kids for many years to come so it's fantastic value.
This is turning into a sales pitch which I really didn't intend, I'm just genuinely loving this pattern at the moment!!

How to Sew a Girls Summer Dress [Easy Sewing Project with Peek-a-Boo Wildflower]
Hello!!! Thank you so much for stopping at Simply Crafting today! I'm so happy you're here!
The Peek-a-Boo Wildflower Dress Sewing pattern is packed with so many options you can sew 144 different little girl's dresses! I'm sharing my tips and tricks for sewing up these gorgeous little dresses quickly and easily.
Sewing Your Own Clothes
Sewing your own clothes is a fun and relaxing (if addictive!!) hobby that will allow you to craft a wardrobe that's as unique as you are. With a few basic techniques under your belt and some clever tricks up your sleeves you can create beautiful clothes that you'll be proud to wear. Keep on reading for tips and techniques that will help you to master this hugely rewarding skill.

Bodice
I'm not a fan of zips on the back of clothing. I can never make them look neat which is probably more due to my lack of skill more than anything else. But the zip puller always seems to sit right on the sensitive skin at the base of the neck and that would really irritate me. Despite having a good sized stash of zips I never seem to have the right length in a suitable colour.
Buttons now that's a whole different matter. I have about a gazillion different buttons, three generations worth of buttons hoarded and saved for "when they come in useful". Any excuse to use them up gets my vote.
So when I saw that the Wildflower Dress from Peek A Boo patterns has a button closure I snapped it up straightaway.
I've used light weight interfacing to reinforce the back opening.
I typically pin my seams before sewing them with my sewing machine.
The bototm edge of the bodice lining is easiest to press up before sewing the seams.
I clip the neckline so that it lies nice and flat.
Sleeves
The bodice and bodice lining need to be tacked topgether at the arm hole, just to hold them in place while setting in the sleeve.
I've pressed a simple hem into the bottom edge of the sleeves.
And stitched it in place.
I prefer to machine gather the sleeve caps to get the gathers nice and even.
Then I can set in the sleeves in the usual way.
Skirt
The skirt construction is super simple, just a front and back seam.
There's sooo much gathering!!
I like to overlock the raw edges on my hems.
I used to eyeball my hems but they've got so much neater since I started taking the time to check the hem depth with a sewing gauge. It only takes a few minutes and it looks so much neater when the hem is finished.
I've gone for a single needle to stitch my hem. I often use a twin needle but on this dress a simple single line of stitching seemed more appropriate.
Finishing Touches
I also make use of my sewing gauge for marking out the button holes.
I like to leave the bodice lining until last. The turned under edge of the lining its hand sewn onto the gathered part of the skirt. The stitches are neatly hidden from the front of the skirt and barely visible from the inside of the bodice. It takes quite a bit of time but the perfect finish is worth the extra effort of hand sewing.
I do hope this sewing project inspires you to have a go at sewing your own projects. Follow me on your favourite social media channel to see more craft projects like this.
