75k Member Sale-a-Bration and FREE Baby Set <3

I’m so excited to announce we’ve hit 75k members in our awesome P4P Facebook Group! <3 I love seeing all the inspiration, questions answered, fitting help, and proud first time shares in there! If you’re not a member yet, come join us 🙂

To celebrate we’re having a big sale- 30% off the total site for 10 days! January 24-Feb 2 2018 (US Central Time Zone).  There is a coupon code- 75ksale – but don’t worry it will pop up for you in your checkout! So you don’t need to worry about remembering it or writing it down!

We thought we’d do even more than just a sale though and have worked hard behind the scenes to create a whole Baby Set of Free patterns for you!!! I LOVE getting invited to a baby shower and making some unique handmade items for the mama and baby! Since my patterns start at 3 months there are a few great ones I go to for baby shower gifts…BUT, I’ve always thought there were a few teeny tiny newborn size things I’d love to have a pattern for as well!

I KNEW we needed a Wee Lap Tee, the envelope style neckline makes dressing newborns easier, and OF COURSE we needed Petite Pegs 🙂 We’ve been asked so many times for baby sizes of our Free Peg Legs pattern it was a no brainer! We added the Teeny Beanie to keep those little head and ears warm and a quick and easy burp cloth too. I also couldn’t help myself to a few cute cut files to add on to the gifts as well!

So, next time you find yourself expecting to be a mama, grandma, auntie, or just invited to a baby shower you will be set with this Free Baby Set of Patterns! You can mix and match them with the other favorite P4P patterns you have that start at 3M as well! I love the Baby Bear Joggers for babies!

 

I love adding an adorable design to the Wee Lap Tee! I hope you enjoy them and make your baby’s wardrobe or baby gifts that much more special!

2016 Holiday Freebies :: Slouchy Hat Pattern (4 Sizes!)

Ready for our second holiday present to you this year?  This one is for the entire family!

p4p-slouchy-hatp4p-hat

 

This slouchy hat pattern comes in four sizes, which should cover the heads of the majority of your family!

XSmall (fits 17″ – 18″ head circumference) – Toddler
Small (fits 19″ – 20″ head circumference) – Child
Medium (fits 21″ – 22″ head circumference) – Teen/Adult
Large (fits 23″ – 24″ head circumference) – Adult

Grab your free pattern pieces here. If you need help putting the pattern together, pop over to the First Time Users Tips page or ask in our facebook group .

Recommended fabrics: Ponte, sweater knits, liverpool, brushed poly, rayon blends, tshirt knits, upcycled sweaters, etc.   Anything with a decent amount of drape to it works best, otherwise the “slouch” won’t happen as well.  I suggest washing your fabric before you begin to pre-shrink & help prevent color bleeding in the future.
Cuff piece: Any knits with at least a 20% stretch.

Supplies needed:

Main Fabric: 1/3 yard
Cuff: less than 1/4 yard required

Step 1: Assemble your pattern and cut your pieces out.  You will need two of the main hat, cut on the fold.  And one cuff piece, cut on the fold.

Step 2: Lay two mirror images, right sides together.  Using 1/2″ seam allowance, sew around the two outer edges.  Make sure to leave the bottom and the top “v” open.

Step 3: Open up the hat and fold it (right sides still remaining together) so the “v” lays flat, and the two side seams are meeting in the middle.  Stitch the top opening shut.

The top of your hat should now look like this.  You’ll have an X of one long seam (going from bottom edge to bottom edge) and one short seam.

Step 4: Fold your cuff piece, right sides together, meeting the shorter ends together.

Step 5: Stitch (using 1/2″ seam allowance) short ends together.

Step 6: With wrong sides together, fold the raw edges together to meet each other.

Step 7: On both your hat body and cuff pieces, mark raw edges into halves.  (The hat body will be the two seams.  The cuff will be one seam and the halfway point on the opposite side.)

Step 8: Slide the cuff over the hat body, aligning the raw edges and matching the half-marked points.  Note: The cuff is slightly smaller than the hat body.  Stretching the cuff only, stitch through all three layers of raw edges.

Step 13: Flip cuff down.  You’re finished!
