Raspberry Creek Week: Kensington Dress

Kid's Patterns

 

RCFDSC_0017

 

A couple weeks ago, Diana from Raspberry Creek Fabric sent me a huge box of her gorgeous club knits to play with.  I decided to use them to make a mini capsule wardrobe for my daughter since they all coordinate so nicely.  For the rest of the week I’ll be sharing the pieces I made so I decided to dub it Raspberry Creek Week!

Today I’m sharing a Kensington Dress made with this beautiful navy and pink floral club jersey.  The Club knits from Raspberry Creek are proprietary designs that Diana prints exclusively for her shop.  They’re a cotton/spandex blend comparable to the highest quality knits you may have used from manufacturers like Art Gallery and Riley Blake.  They are super soft, stable, and a great weight for t-shirts, dresses, kids leggings, hoodies, blankets, and pjs, to name a few.  And the price can’t be beat!  I highly recommend them.PicMonkey Collage

I used the aptly named Go To Leggings pattern for the striped leggings.  Juniper is 3, but wearing rtw size 4, so I decided to start with a straight size 4 and they fit exactly as I expected they would.  These are fine for now with plenty of room to grow, and perfect for PJ pants.  But I decided to make a couple alterations to the pattern which I’ll show you later in the week to accommodate my tall and skinny kiddoDSC_0044

The Kensington Dress is a straight size 3.  The only alteration to the pattern is that I opted to make a traditional neckband instead of the neck binding from the pattern.PicMonkey Collage2

 

So that’s Raspberry Creek Week outfit number 1!  Come back tomorrow for another installation!

Nothing scarier than hearing the serger running in Nothing scarier than hearing the serger running in your sewing room when you're not in your sewing room 😱. But this girl decided to get up and make herself a Nikko Top and I'm so proud 🙌. I haven't really taught my kids to sew, but I'm happy they're getting into it on their own anyway.  I'll be here to nurture their interest and attach arm bindings when they ask though!  How are you approaching this skill with the next generation?⁣

I'm back today with another modification to the pu I'm back today with another modification to the puffed sleeve tutorial released yesterday!  A few simple changes to the style lines yields a shorter banded puff sleeve with volume at the hem.  I am so in love with this top - using a sweater knit makes it so comfy but also dresses it up just enough for me 🖤. Hope you enjoy!  Don't forget to tag me if you use these tutorials, I'd love to see!⁣

I finally used this gorgeously thick and soft cott I finally used this gorgeously thick and soft cotton sweatshirting from @dashuepfendekomma to make the hoodie of my dreams 🙌. I've been sitting on this fabric and matching ribbing since last winter trying to decide on the perfect pattern.  In the end I (predictably) just ended up modifying a few style lines to get exactly what I wanted.  I'm sharing my tutorial for a dropped sleeve Brunswick with a bit of volume at the wrist on the blog today!⁣

This is a gorgeous 100% linen from @fabricwholesaledirect.  I bought 3 different colors for napkins and reusable "paper" towels so we should be good (after I sew more than just this one 😂)⁣

Do you have any necessary sewing to do?  Next on my list are some mesh shampoo bar bags (makes them last forever!) and reusable produce bags!⁣
