Make it Monday with SnapShots

Today we are switching things up, and instead of featuring projects using our paper collections, we are sharing projects created with our fabric collections!

Summer Outfit, by Jen Chesnick. 

Hi gang, Jen Chesnick back again with another TOO CUTE summer outfit. TheToo Cute Ruche Shorts by Coles Creations needs to be a summer staple in your kiddos closet. She also has a teen/adult version too. 

From start to finish they take about an hour to create. Once you have made your first pair you will be off and running. The pattern is also affordable! More moola for fabric am I right?

The top is the Fly Girl top by Little Lizard King. I had a bit of a struggle putting this pattern together, but in the end I love the finished project. The pair go well together and compliment Snapshots so well. Both use a limited amount of fabric so you can stretch your stash. 

Supplies:  
Bella Blvd Snapshots fabric by Riley Blake Designs, ribbon, bias tape, elastic (2 sizes), sewing machine, notions 

Make it Monday- With Maya Road!

Hi Gang! I've been quite the blog slacker.  It's Summer I am sorry ;)  I am stopping in to share two projects made for Maya Road.  Both sewing projects!  Details below.  

Sewing with Wood Buttons

Hi Roadies! Jen Chesnick here today with my first post since re-joining the Maya Road team.  This time around you are going to see a lot of sewing projects from me using buttons, trims and other goodies.  Today I have a dress featuring thelarge Handmade with Love wood buttons. 

The dress pattern is by Simple Life Pattern Co.  It's called the Rayann and is made with no closures.  Meaning no zipper or working buttons on the back.  On the front however there is a band for placement of snaps or buttons.  

I used snaps for my band to cinch in the waist then sewed the buttons on over the snaps! The great thing about doing this is my daughter can snap her dress up herself AND I didn't have to sew any button holes.  Hooray!

Too Cute Ruche Shorts and Candy Dot Trim

Hi Roadies! Jen back again with another sewing project featuring Candy Dots Bias Tape  in Punch.  I picked up this short and top pattern combo last month for a steal!  The shorts are called Too Cute Ruche Shorts by Cole's Creations and are so quick and easy.  Truly a great beginner pattern and a good way to use some of that pretty trim you've been hoarding.

The top pattern is also by Cole's Creation and is called the Too Cute Bias Tank.  I used Laguna knit by Robert Kaufman and used the same  trim for the bindings.  This tank is a great canvas for applique designs or heat transfer material.  

and one last photo of the three year old "Modeling" :)  Hope you enjoyed!
