Spring Sale and Capsule Contest

March 29, 2021

We’re teaming up with my sister over at Made for Mermaids for another Capsule Contest!

We’ve done a few in the past and they’re a great motivator to create a small capsule that really fills out your or a loved one’s closet with purposeful makes! You can use any M4M or P4P patterns to create a 9 piece capsule.  We know creating 9 pieces is a lot, so feel free to use a couple old makes (still must be a M4M or P4P pattern) to work off of.  We’re asking for at least 5 NEW makes in the contest entry though. To help out if you need more patterns to make the perfect capsule both of us are putting a SITE WIDE SALE up!

Here is how to enter the contest: Must post with the hashtag #sewminicapsule to be eligible for the weekly and final giveaways. #madeformermaids #patternsforpirates is a plus on other platforms 💞 You can post in both our FB groups, on Instagram or tag M4M on TikTok (I haven’t been convinced to hop on that train yet ;)) .

The more places you post, the higher chance to win of course! You can start sewing anytime.

*We’ll choose 4 weekly winners on each Friday, April 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd (16 total weekly chances to win).

  • Weekly winners will receive a pattern of choice from each M4M and P4P plus a $20 fabric gift card (or $20 PayPal).

*Final capsules must be posted by April 30th midnight cst for runner-up and grand prizes.

  • 2 runner ups will receive a $20 store credit to both M4M and P4P plus $50 fabric gift card (or $50 PayPal)
  • 2 grand prize winners will receive $20 store credit to both M4M and P4P plus a Brother 1034D serger OR $200 PayPal (they can choose if they already have a serger/want the PayPal)

 

And if you’ve never created a capsule before Megan created these amazing idea boards to help inspire you and just give a few great examples 🙂



We hope you have fun planning, making, sharing and wearing your new capsules! We can’t wait to see them!

-Judy and Megan

P4P-M4M

The Peg Event :: VBack Waistband Hack for the Peg Legs Update!

September 9, 2020

Welcome back to another day of The Peg Event! We hope you are loving our newest release of the Peg Legs – Colorblock Pack and update to the beloved Peg Legs, and Peg Legs – Add-On Pack!

Before we get to the main event, I’d like to remind you that we’ve got a sitewide sale happening from now until Saturday, September 12.  In addition to that, we’ve got an awesome giveaway happening, with 14 amazing prizes (and 14 amazing prize winners)!  You can read all about The Peg Event HERE.


 

Colorblock Pack Waistband Hack for the Original Peg Legs Pattern

 

So you love the new contoured waistband of the colorblock pack, but want to keep the legs quick and simple?  Here’s the hack on how to use the original Peg Legs with the new colorblock pack waistband.  You can use either the plain contoured waistband or with all the fun pockets too. 

First, assemble the original Peg Legs pattern and Colorblock pack. You will only need the Colorblock Pack Back – 1 Piece.  Aligning at the back rise and crotch curve, place back colorblock piece on the original Peg Legs pattern piece.  Note, the pattern piece should align at the mid-rise cutline as the contoured waistband is drafted to fit the lower rise and finish high rise at the natural waist.  

 

Trim the original Peg Leg pattern piece back rise or re-trace to create your new Peg Legs pattern piece. 

 

 

Cut and assemble the legs as per the original Peg Leg instructions and using the waistband instructions from the colorblock pack. I used the back pocket option and our FOE hack for the version shown below. 


 

Easy right?!? Now you can add an extra style of leggings to your closet.  I especially love how the V back fits with the booty 😉 Don’t forget to share your version, we’d love to see all your Pegs!

Here are some links to all of our FREE leggings patterns, so you can get to sewing!
