Summer – Page 2 – Love Craft Sew

Simple Life Pattern Company just re-released Breanna’s Peekaboo Shorts, Pants and Capris with updated fit and sizing options.

Breanna’s is an advanced beginner pattern for woven or knit fabrics with sizing that runs from 2T up to size 12. There are three different lengths to choose from: shorts, capris or pants and have optional side ties for a ruched look. The waistband is a flat front and elastic back.

I sewed up the shorts option since it is already HOT here in South Florida and this is going to be our summer uniform this year! I opted for the optional side ties and used cotton woven fabric from Hobby Lobby. The pattern was very easy to grade between sizing for that perfect fit. My daughter is wearing a size 6 in width and size 7 in length. We paired these shorts with a Kyra Cross Back Top in the A-Line fit in cotton lycra from Purple Seamstress. This was also my first time sewing up Kyra and it is my new favorite! This top has so many options and is perfect for summer. I love the A-Line top and dress but the twirly skirt option gets my girls every time (and Kyra has both!).

The pattern is on sale 20% off through May 13 and I can’t wait to see yours sewn up. If you buy this pattern on sale let us know what you think!

Simple Life Pattern Company just released Pippa’s Scalloped Romper & Dress and I was lucky enough to test this gorgeous pattern for them.

Pippa’s is an advanced beginner pattern for woven fabrics with sizing that runs from 2T up to size 12. You can opt for a circle shorts romper (hello amazing twirl!) or a dress in vintage or knee length. There are optional ruffles on both the romper and the dress and the back has a gorgeous scalloped detail with dainty shoulder ties.

My ten year old is romper obsessed and was so excited to wear this! We opted for the no ruffle romper option and added a decorative fringe trim to the bodice. Her measurements are all over the place so we used a size 6 waist, size 8 chest and size 12 length. It can be pretty daunting to mash all those sizes together but it was very clear in the tutorial and very easy to get the perfect sizing. Don’t let the scalloped details on the back intimidate you either! You will have a tracing template for these pieces making it so easy to follow the curves and get them to lay just right. I bought the fabric and trim at Hobby Lobby and it is the perfect print for summer right around the corner!

The pattern is on sale 20% off through March 25 (happy birthday to me!) and I can’t wait to see yours sewn up. If you buy this pattern (or the others!) on sale let us know what you think!
