Back to School with Riley Blake

Monday, August 31, 2015


Freshly sharpened pencils, new school supplies, and the adjusting of alarm clocks are all reminders that it is back to school time. Patty and I are thrilled to bring you a little back to school sewing we did for Riley Blake's blog tour!


Patty started off with her Breeann Hooded Knit Top that is specifically geared toward the tween / teen crowd. This pattern ranges in sizes from 8 to 16!! The Riley Blake knits are a dream to sew and wear! The main body of this top is Vivid Fireworks in Fuschia and the pocket is Vivid Leilani in Fuschia.




We couldn't leave out the newest Modkid pattern, Cassidy!! It pairs up so well with the Breeann top!! Patty's Vivid Canvas for Riley Blake is the perfect weight for this dungaree style dress. 



For all of the paper pattern fans, I've sewn up the Modkid Abigail in Fuschia, Marigold, and Granite Vivid Fireworks. With it's gored design, the Abigail seems to have endless possibilities for playing with prints and patterns. Yet, it manages to remain such a simple sew!



The only thing better than back to school shopping is back to school sewing, so be sure to check out the rest of the Riley Blake blog tour for inspiration!

Free Casserole Carrier Pattern

Patty is back from quilt market, and she's sharing a little quilt market treat with us just in time for your Memorial Day festivities! Of course the new Vivid Canvas is a perfect match, but any bottom weight woven will make a great casserole carrier. Casserole carriers would make perfect teacher gifts as well!

Modkid Styled - Sun & Surf Tote

I hope you got excited about the new Vivid Canvas by Patty Young for Riley Blake when we announced it! Canvas is absolutely perfect for sewing up totes, so we thought we'd bring you a little beachy, nautical style with the Modkid Sun & Surf tote. The pattern is available in both PDF form and paper. Plus, we have a handy sew-along to reference on the blog.
