Today I have a fantastic free pattern to share with you – the Birthday Brownie Sleep Sack from Candy Castle Patterns! This sleep sack is the perfect project to tackle during naptime since it is quick and easy. It comes in sizes newborn through 12 months and the fit is generous so it is also a sure bet for gifts as well!
The pattern is designed for almost any type of knit fabric so it is suitable for all seasons. There is the option to partially line it or make it fully lined and reversible. I made this one out of a lovely rayon spandex from Raspberry Creek Fabrics and partially lined it. I had originally bought the fabric to make baby girl a swaddle for her newborn days, but time got away from me. It makes my heart happy to see her snuggled in this fabric I so painstakingly picked out for her before she was born.
Peek a Boo Pattern Shop has released one of their most popular patterns, the Classic Zip Pajamas, in a new and updated fashion. Who doesn’t love zip footie pajamas? Now these pajamas are even better with short and long sleeve options as well as cuffed shorts, cuffed pants, and traditional footies. You can also choose half zip or full zip options for the pants and footies.
Here is Genie’s daughter in the cuffed pants and long sleeve options. These are cotton interlock with cotton lycra bands. Genie chose the half zip option as well. The zipper assembly on these pajamas is straightfoward and a video tutorial is linked in the instructions to help with any tricky spots you might find.
One of my favorite parts of sewing for my kids is adding the little details like colorblocking and pockets that they love to their outfits. Usually I need to hack a pattern to do that, but Amy over at Peek a Boo Pattern Shop has taken care of that for me now with the new Hideout Hoodie!
The Hideout Hoodie is a relaxed fit raglan with short or long sleeves and a hood or neckband which allow you to make a variety of looks from one pattern. More bang for your buck!

Welcome back to another year of the Sew Americana blog tour hosted by Wild and Wanderful. I participated two years ago as seen here, but had to take last year off due to having a newborn. I was so excited to come back and join in the fun again.
I decided to sew for two of my kids this year-my baby girl (who’s really more of a toddler) and my 9 year old. Sly Fox Fabrics was kind enough to send each of us bloggers some yardage to use during the tour. They’re a new-to-me company, but I was so impressed with the quality of their fabric and the speed of their shipping. Make sure to check out their Americana collection here for your own patriotic sewing.
Have you noticed that more and more quilts are trickling into the content here at Sew and Tell Project? I have because I’ve made a few of them! Over the past two years, I have spent a lot of time trying to learn more about the art of quiltmaking. I still have a lot to learn but with each project I gain more technique and confidence and get better results.
As I’ve mentioned a few times on the blog, a new baby girl is scheduled to arrive in our home in around 7 weeks. All three of our girls have shared a large bedroom, but now our tweens will be getting their own room downstairs, and the little girls will share a nursery.
I had a hard time coming up with a good title for this post! Round-up might sound a little excessive, but I made and photographed 5 SLPco Skyler’s Top and Dress during testing and wanted to share each one! If you missed Alisha’s release post yesterday, she made two adorable baby versions for her one-year-old daughter. See them here! You can buy the bundle for both BABY and GIRLS sizes right here.
I recently tested the Baby Saylor from Simple Life Pattern Company and loved the square open back and bow options. When SLPCo decided to release a similar knit dress, Baby Skyler, I jumped at the chance to test it because knits are just so comfy for my busy toddler. The Skyler is also available in girls’ sizes so stay tuned for Eleri and Emily’s versions coming to the blog in a few days!
Happy day, everyone! I am so excited for it to be my stop on The Tallinn Fabrics Blog Tour hosted by Art Gallery Fabrics designer Jessica Swift! I’ve been so lucky that I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the gorgeous Tallinn fabrics since Quilt Market prep last fall. If you check out some of my past posts on Instagram you can see a few of the four garments I made for Jessica’s debut booth.
Spring is finally starting to peek its head out here in the Upper Midwest, and the new release from Peek a Boo Pattern Shop is perfect for spring, summer, and year round!
The Mariposa Top and Dress offers 4 sleeve lengths as well as top, dress, and peplum options. The real star of this pattern, however, are the mini and mega ruffles!
I made Miss M three tops during testing. Please note the ruffles were revised after I made my versions to taper more by the waist.
