Fall in Love with Sewing :: 120K member Saleabration and Giveaway :: Admin Love Cont’

November 15, 2019

We’re continuing to show off our wonderful admin/moderators along with their pick for the Admin Love Bundle that is part of the Grand Prize in our Fall in Love with Sewing Giveaway and a little bit about how they fell in love with sewing!

Today is our last day of showing off all our lovely admins, their picks for the Admin Love Bundle included in the Grand Prize for our Fall in Love with Sewing Giveaway, and how they fell in love with sewing shares.  I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did!

 

Lindsay’s pick for the Admin Love Bundle was a pair of mini duck scissors.  Once again, something I don’t happen to use! I usually use small embroidery scissors, but I might need to pick some of these up and see if I prefer them!

   

Sylvia loves a good thread bundle! It’s nice to have a match for whatever project you start up without a trip to the store to grab a matching thread color.

Amy suggested pattern weights.  And I couldn’t find exactly what I would think of pattern weights available on Amazon very easily and Angela suggested hockey pucks! That is what she uses and loves! So here are some hockey pucks that would work fabulously for pattern weights! Pattern weights are so nice for knit and delicate fabrics that you don’t stretch or puncture the fabric.

 

Bekah and Amy above suggested a bundle of measuring tapes! It’s always nice to have on within reach and a back up in case a little one decides they’re on a measuring mission that day 😉

Morland brought on some great stretch needles for her pick! Using a stretch needle with knits makes a huge huge difference! I even love a stretch needle much more then a ballpoint for almost all knits.  Stretch are better for spandex blends, which are most common these days.  Ballpoint does work for interlocks and sweater knits though.

Jody went with a chalk marking wheel.  This is so quick and easy to mark and take off your pieces.  I use one all the time, especially on darker fabrics or fabrics that can’t handle heat (I love using frixon pens, but you need heat to remove the marking).

Teri loves to have a can of 505 temporary basting spray handy in her sewing space! It’s great to temporarily hold anything in place while you stitch it.

 

 

Up next we have the Made for Mermaids team.  Megan is my sister <3 And they help out admining and monitoring the group when they aren’t busy handling their own group!

Tomorrow we will be highlighting our fabric sponsors that generously donated to our fabric bundle included in the prizes! Don’t forget to enter the contest and take advantage of our huge site wide sale! It’s the last sale of the year!

Fall in Love with Sewing :: 120K Member Saleabration and Giveaway

November 8, 2019

I’m so excited to announce that we’ve hit another milestone in our P4P Facebook Group of 120,000 members!  I’ve always been blown away with how the group keeps growing!


My favorite part of my job is seeing beginners grow with the group’s help! Seeing questions being answered, encouragement being given and then the proud first make being posted is the absolute best! Sewing has always been a huge part of my life… but there was a time when I wouldn’t have said I was a sewist! Even though my mom sewed my whole life and taught me growing up, I didn’t consider it my own hobby or love until I was older.  I fell in love with sewing when I was in college and even more so when I was pregnant with my Little Guy.  Here are some little onsies I made for him out of my t-shirts!


 

All these years later and I STILL LOVE THOSE! My second Baby Boy wore them just this past year <3 Thinking back to those really proud moments of “firsts” always gets me smiling and feeling the love of sewing again. I wanted this giveaway to be all about that. So, we will have some shares about how we fell in love with sewing, what tools help us stay in love with sewing, a runner up prize and a grand prize that will hopefully help others fall even more in love with sewing, and as always we do a big site wide sale to help get the patterns you’ve been wanting into your sewing space being used and loved!

The GRAND PRIZE for the giveaway was inspired by things in my own sewing room that make me really love sewing more and more.  Now, the serger is the model I’m hoping to get! I’ve heard great things about it and can’t wait to hopefully call one mine soon! The others are things that I do have and love!


 

(Note- I’m using affiliate links here if you happen to purchase any from these links.)

There is the JUKI SERGER/OVERLOCKER , which I’m lusting over currently.  It’s a bit of an upgrade from the most affordable model sergers and every sewist I know that has this model loves it and recommends it!

The BROTHER COVERSTITCH is something I waited for many years to purchase because I knew it was a luxury and not a necessity…but I do love having it! It’s so nice for hemming knits and making it much easier and stretching finished hem.


The FABRIC BUNDLE is something every sewist would love. We have some great sponsors that are donating both fabric bundles and gift cards so you can really stock your stash!!  I will be highlighting each sponsor and showing off their bundle in the next few days so keep an eye out for that blog post!

The 20 P4P PATTERNS OF CHOICE is my way of making sure you have every pattern you want from the shop! Having a pattern for just what you’re wanting to sew up makes sewing so much faster and more enjoyable then hoping and guessing on things!

The ADMIN LOVE BUNDLE is amazing! I asked all my FB Group Admins/Moderators what helps them love sewing in their sewing space.  And these are the answers I received! It was fun to see what everyone values and uses a lot in their own space… and also tempted a lot of us to purchase each others 😉 lol!  I will have several blog post highlighting our admins, their picks and how they fell in love with sewing coming the next few days, so stay tuned!

 

The SILHOUETTE BUNDLE cutting machine is so fun for anyone crafty! I use it all the time to add some HTV (heat transfer vinyl) to items I made.  It’s such a quick way to add something personal and unique to your makes.

The HEAT PRESS is also for adding the HTV.  I used an iron for a while, but I just wasn’t really strong enough to add the even pressure needed to get a really good attachment.  This heats up quickly, is super easy to use and makes the HTV added last and look much better then I could get with my iron. I love having it!  Here is an example of HTV I added to personalize some Sporty Pikos for myself and Baby Girl!


****Note**** With a prize this large, P4P will need a W9 filled out by winner prior to prizes being sent. Winner must claim prize on taxes per US law.

International winner will have to remit up to a 30% tax withholding of prize winnings and subject to US tax/treaty agreements.

We will also have one RUNNER UP WINNER!  They will win 10 P4P patterns of choice, 20+ yards of fabric, $25 gift card for fabric, and the cutest sewing machine necklace ever!

 

SO, ARE YOU READY TO ENTER?! Here is how you can enter to win:

A few more details:

  • The item sewn up and shared must be a P4P pattern that creates a piece of clothing (shirt, pants jacket, etc.  This means no accessories like hats, scarfs,etc.)  You can use a free pattern as long as it is clothing like the Tulip Tee or Peg Legs.
    • You need to sew it up as is, with only fit changes (so no hacks or modifications).  Adding embellishments is great, just no major changes, pattern mashes, etc.
  • Share your pictures on one or all of the social media networks for more chances to win with hashtag #P4PLoveSewing — it must be EXACT to come up in our search for the winner!
  • Let us know what P4P pattern you sewed up and what you’re most looking forward to winning or tell us a bit about how you fell in love with sewing, what you love most about sewing, etc!
  • You can share as many sews as you can for more chances to win–but ALL items/images shared must be sewn AFTER the giveaway starts 11/8/2019! Any older sews will be disqualified from winning either prizes. Last entries accepted will be 11/18/2019 at 11:59PM US Central Time.
  • Winner will be random lottery winner! So everyone has a chance from a beginner who might be sewing their first P4P to a seasoned apparel sewist!

Since you might need to grab a new pattern to get motivated we have a SITE WIDE SALE through the end of the giveaway!

  • This will be the last site wide sale this year so grab them up while you can!!
  • Sale ends at the same time as giveaway entries: 11/18/2019 11:59PM at Midnight US Central Time. 
  • There is a coupon code: Fall120k but it will automatically pop up at checkout and you just need to click to apply the discount! 

 

I can’t wait to see everyone’s entries! I’m so excited to share the love of sewing!!!

Fall in Love with Sewing :: 120k member Saleabration and Giveaway :: Admin Love Bundle Cont’

November 7, 2019

We’re continuing to show off our wonderful admin/moderators with a little bit about how they fell in love with sewing,  along with their pick for the Admin Love Bundle that is part of the Grand Prize for our Fall in Love with Sewing Giveaway .

First up today is the lovely Aretha! She picked a pack of needles.  It’s so nice to not have to worry about breaking one, needing a sharper, newer one mid project! This pack is an assortment of different needles so any project you decide hopefully this pack will have you covered!

Lacy said she absolutely loved having a travel sewing machine! Now, this is something I do not have personally! She has this smaller Janome  sewing machine she can travel easier with and can sew while she’s gone!

Katy added a nice rotary blade.  I have to agree whole heartedly! I love having a nice rotary blade to cut out my pattern pieces, especially a rectangle piece with a quilters ruler! This is a Kai brand that is my personal favorite! There isn’t a safety button though so you must be careful if you have little ones around!

Kaara suggested a big cut mat.  Oh yesssss! I loved when I could finally afford a really large cut mat! When you’re cutting out larger adult size pattern pieces the larger the cut mat the better!!

Rachel wanted to add a bodkin.  A bodkin is another that I must confess I don’t have in my own sewing space, but maybe I will grab one and try it out 🙂

Stacey went with a bodkin as well! It must be worth grabbing and trying there were several admins that suggested this for the bundle!

Amanda suggested yet another thing I’m missing out on currently!! An Ottlite LED Lamp.  She has one and loves it! I’m currently hoping Santa hears my call for one! 😉

Caitlin wanted to share a dressform! I’ve never used a dress form much other then to look cute in my sewing space and snap a picture on every now and then.  I could find a small size (Bust: 33-40″Waist: 26-33″Hips: 35-42″ ), medium (Bust: 39-46″Waist: 32-40″Hips: 41-47″), large (Bust: 44-50″ Waist: 37-43″ Hips: 46-52″), full figure (Bust: 48-54″ Waist: 41-47″ Hips: 51-57″), petite (Bust: 30-36″ Waist: 22-28″Hips: 31-37″), and child  that you can pick which suits your sewing best!

Megan went with one of my favorite things in my own sewing space: Frixon pens. They’re so great for marking pattern pieces quickly and then the ink dissapears with a little heat.  You can use your iron or throw it in the dryer to remove the markings.

Riley suggested a roll of Pellon 810.  This is great to use for tracing off patterns.  It’s almost cloth-like, but sheer and has a grid which makes it great for pattern tracing.

Beth suggested adding Wash Away Hem Tape.  This is something I used constantly before I had a coverstitch machine.  It really helps stabilize a knit while hemming on a machine so you don’t get waves from the machine slightly stretching the knit fabric as it pulls it through the feed dogs. It is also handy just to temporarily hold something in place perfectly while you sew!

Liesel was one of the first to find her bundle item and we were all in awe of it! It is a small rope light you can stick to your sewing machine to give you more light right were you need it! Genius! I have to put that on my wish list for sure!

We have another fun batch of admins tomorrow as well! If you missed it here is the first day of admin love bundle!

Don’t forget to enter the contest and take advantage of our huge site wide sale! It’s the last sale of the year! Code: fall120k for 30% off your total cart.

Fall in Love with Sewing :: 120k member Saleabration and Giveaway :: Admin Love Bundle

November 7, 2019

As the Patterns for Pirates FB Group has grown over the years, we’ve added more and more admins/moderators to help keep the group moving! Now as we’re hitting 120k members, we have a pretty large group of wonderful people that help me approve new members and posts, answer questions, go live in the group with sewing topics, and more to keep the group inspiring and helpful for everyone!

I thought it would be really fun to highlight each one with their item they picked for the Admin Love Bundle that the Grand Prize Winner wins for the Fall in Love with Sewing Giveaway we’re doing this week!

I also asked them to tell us a little something about how they fell in love with sewing.  I always love to hear how people started their journey into sewing!!  I loved reading all of them and I hope you do too!  We have so many I’m going to split them up into 3 days. So here are the first bunch to enjoy:

Since I got to pick out the Grand Prize I didn’t pick out an item for the Admin Love Bundle!

Katy picked out a pair of Kai scissors (which also happen to be my very favorite sewing scissors!).  They are so sharp and comfortable to use without breaking the bank!

For Nicole her pick was a nice iron! I LOVE that! Pressing can absolutely make a sewing task so much easier and your end product looks vastly better! This is the iron I have personally and love it!

For Alex’s pick she went with a point and tube turner.  I love this too! This is the tool my mom used and so I always had one as well.   They were quite difficult to find for a while, but seem to have made a come back recently! I think they make turning a tube so quick and easy.

Erinn picked a quilters’ ruler for her sewing supply she loved! It makes cutting rectangles much easier and quicker for sure! I always grab mine with cutting neckbands, cuffs, ect even if there is a pattern piece! I find it much more accurate and straight then just using the piece on it’s own.

Up next is Angela who wanted to share her love for a french curve ruler set! I have recommend grabbing a french curve in many blog posts and videos 🙂 It is something that is so nice to have when adjusting patterns. 

 

Elisabeth’s pick was a SemiFlex Sewing Guage.  This is so handy when you’re trying to evenly space things like buttons, button holes, etc.  You can skip the math! I always grab mine with I’m adding buttons, button holes, snaps, etc.  You can just decide how many you’re wanting and spread the guage to the top and bottom and it will even space your marking points for you in seconds!

Michelle recommended a magnetic pin holder.  No more loosing your pins! and if you happen to drop a few you can use this to find and pick them up easily.

Dana wanted to share one of her favorite fitting books: The Palmer Pletsch Complete Guide to Fitting: Sew Great Clothes for Every Body. Fit Any Fashion Pattern (Sewing for Real People series) This happens to be a book I also love and have recommended in past blogs as well! It’s a great fitting guide book for anyone wanting to learn how to better adjust patterns to fit their body (or anyone else they’re sewing clothing for).  Learning your body and the personal adjustment it needs can be so amazing! Having clothes that fit you perfectly or even just much better then you can pick up at a store is absolutely something that will make you love sewing even more in my eyes!

Aaronica recommended a hem gauge.  There are many kinds of hem gauges (and we had a couple different kinds recommended for this bundle even)! This one is great to use for hemming.  You can fold the fabric to the line you need and press with your iron right on top.

Amy suggested clips.  These are used like pins to hold fabric or pieces together.  A lot of sewists prefer clips for most projects.  I love to have both clips and pins at my desk and pick the one that works best for that certain time every time!

Jennifer wanted to add a box of glue sticks! They’re quick and easy to stick your PDF trimless pattern pieces together!

Lizzy picked a little set of small snip scissors.  These are so nice to have right next to your machine (and a pair by each machine if you’re lucky enough to have multiple). They’re quick and easy to snip off threads as you finish your seams.

I hope you enjoyed getting to know a few of our admins a bit better and look forward to a couple more days! Don’t forget to enter the contest and take advantage of our huge site wide sale! It’s the last sale of the year!

Fierce Bra & Undies :: New Pattern Release!

November 2, 2019

Hey there Pirates!  Today was a day I thought would never come… a bra and undies pattern release! I never had my sites set on doing undergarments, but my strong desire to have a soft knit bra that fit was too much to deny any longer!  The Twist Back Top was such an adorable open back pattern that begged for a cute strappy bra under… so the Fierce Bra was born!

Adult Sizing- Fierce Bra PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates
Bundle Adult and Youth Sizing- Fierce Bra PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates
Youth Sizing- Fierce Bra- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates

Then who could resist some matching undies to the bra right?! The Fierce Undies came right along as well 🙂 Both Adult and Youth can feel fierce in their undergarments now!

Fierce Undies- Adult Sizing- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates

Fierce Undies- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates

Lets talk Fierce Bra first! This pattern is a great first bra for any sewist to try their hand and get sizing and adjustments down for more involved bras.  It is drafted to be a light to medium impact sports bra… what exactly does that mean? It would give enough support for a walk, yoga, or other light to medium exercising.  It’s not a high impact- which would include running, jumping, burpees, ect.  Depending on fabric and options you choice you can essentially create a lounge bra with minimal support (and lots of comfort ;)) or a more medium support.

Fierce Bra- Youth- Athletic Fabrics
Fierce Bra- Adult- Athletic Fabrics
Fierce Bra- Adult- Lounge Fabrics
Fierce Bra- Youth- Lounge Fabrics

The straps are created with 1″ FOE (Fold Over Elastic) which is a super simple and quick method.  The exposed elastic band at the bottom gives it a unique detail and options to use different width elastics that you may find and fall in love with!

Thicker Bottom Band Elastic- Fierce Bra- Youth

The youth pattern covers a size range from 12M – 14.  Adult covers XXS-Plus 5X plus it includes a SBA (Small Bust Adjustment) and FBA (Full Bust Adjustment) pieces if your upper and full bust don’t fall into the same size on our chart.  Sound complicated? Don’t worry, we have a video in there to explain it all <3

Don’t forget that super adorable strappy back! Not only does it look cute, but the straps also provide support both criss cross and traditional straight straps which allows the pressure of the straps to be distributed a few more spots on your shoulders and back…meaning… more comfortable! It’s just a bonus that it looks great with open back tops!

Okay… now lets chat about the matching Fierce Undies!! Underwear can be so fun to sew up.  It takes just scraps of fabrics and are so quick to make!  Bonus, you can have extra freedom choosing fun prints and fill up your drawers with something super practical at the same time!

The Fierce Undies are a sportier looking underwear pattern with an exposed elastic waistband that matches the Fierce Bra.

INCLUDED STYLES: Youth Includes a brief and shorties options.

Adult includes a thong, full coverage brief, and cheeky options.

INCLUDED RISE OPTIONS:

We also included a few different rises to choose from.  Youth includes low rise and mid rise.

Low Rise Option- Fierce Undies- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for PIrates
Mid Rise Option- Fierce Undies- Youth- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates

The Adult Fierce Undies includes low rise, mid rise and high rise options.

Low Rise Option- Fierce Undies- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates
Mid Rise Option- Fierce Undies- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates
High Rise Option- Fierce Undies- PDF Sewing Pattern by Patterns for Pirates

You can even customize your waistband by what thickness your elastic is… the thicker the elastic the bit higher the rise will be!

3/4″ Elastic Low Rise
1.5″ Elastic Low Rise

VIDEOS! Don’t be worried if you’ve never ventured into undergarments before… I included several videos in both tutorial about supplies, sizing, and a video of a complete bra and undies sew up!

Spring Mini Capsule Sewing & Contest

March 27, 2017


Hey ya’ll- Judy’s sister, Megan here from Made for Mermaids! Judy and I have been talking about how badly we needed to start sewing warm weather clothes. Our kids have simply outgrown all their Spring (aka Summer in Dallas 😉 ) clothes. While we are constantly sewing for new pattern releases, most the time we’re using prints to show in tutorial and testing photos. Many times pieces end up not making any sense in our wardrobe and I find myself wearing the same staple, simple tops I have in my closet over and over. We decided a mini capsule was the perfect solution!

What is a capsule wardrobe? 

It’s a wardrobe made up of really versatile pieces that you completely LOVE to wear. Pieces that are simple; they can be mixed, mashed and worn several different ways. It’s about quickly and effortlessly being able to put an outfit together.  Now a full capsule wardrobe is made up of jewelry, shoes, accessories, everything you need to wear on a day to day basis. What we’re going to be doing is sewing 9 staple pieces for your closet. I’m trying to sew 3 mini capsules… I know I know, but we really need these so I’m hoping I can get them all done! One for myself, one for my daughter and one for  my son. 

How do you plan capsule sewing?

This will be different for everyone, depending on where you live, lifestyle and personal preferences. I can tell you how and what I have chose for our mini capsules. I love to have a board to help me plan. The visual really helps me be able to put it together exactly how I want. Don’t worry, I have FREE Photoshop templates if you’d like to make your own with photos or text. You can also use picmonkey or another editing/collage type site to help you. If you need directions on how to use the template, check the bottom of this post. Simply click each link below and they will download.

First I decided what pieces I wanted to sew. I looked in my closet (and kid’s) and tried to see what was missing. Now I just typed these out, but you can do more of a suduko style where each row and column make an outfit, so you can REALLY make sure all your pieces can be worn together.

How do you choose patterns?

I choose patterns a few different ways.

1- What do I LOVE to wear and feel GOOD in? What do I find myself always pulling out of the dryer to wear again? Same for my kiddos. I find them asking to wear the same shirts and dresses all the time.

2- What is my wardrobe lacking? Do I need shorts, tanks, tees? We moved last Fall and my daughter’s new school dress code is much more strict than her last. She can’t wear any sleeveless tops or dresses, which throws out 90% of her Spring wardrobe from last year. I know I sound like a broken record…  but it’s HOT here in Dallas so I plan on making her a LIGHT cardi to be able to throw over tanks.

3- What will work with the warmer weather? Luckily for both M4M and P4P most our patterns have tons of options with different sleeve and hemlines that can be worn year-round 😉

How do you choose fabrics?

What makes capsules great is they are no fuss. So you don’t want to choose fabrics that clash, but rather coordinate and compliment each other. Think solid or solid-like fabric for most of your mini capsule. What am I talking about with “solid-like”?? A print that reads as a solid to blend the other fabrics together and something that coordinates with the focus fabrics. Think subtle: stripes, dots, heathered, burn-outs, etc. Also think about using different textures, so even if the fabric is solid or plain, it looks different against another piece. Choosing different types of fabrics will help your wardrobe not look or feel too bland. Remember to think about the weather and choose fabrics that won’t feel too warm. I know you know, by now that Dallas is HOT 😉 so I like to use ITY, rayon spandex, rayon challis, georgette, model, bamboo jersey, chiffon and light, open weave sweater knits when moving into warmer weather.

Here is Judy’s mini capsule fabric laid out for her Little Guy!  He’s old enough that he wanted to help pick! So, lots of superheros going on, which he considers a neutral 😉 She managed to keep in within a color scheme to help the tops and bottoms coordinate with each other.

How does the contest work?

We have several random participant prizes for you! To enter, all you need to do is sew a 9 piece mini capsule using all M4M and/or P4P patterns…now if you already have a favorite, staple piece you’ve sewn from one of our patterns and MUST have it in your capsule, that’s ok. They can be mash ups or a combo of our patterns. Then post your final capsule in our FB groups (P4P and/or M4M). The final post must be in a collage format. You can also share on Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter or other sewing/fabric FB groups. You MUST use the hashtag #sewminicapsule and we would love if you would tag M4M and P4P, and use #madeformermaids and/or #patternsforpirates . If you don’t use the hashtag we won’t be able to find your entry! You can sew multiple capsules for yourself and little one/s for more than one entry. Contest ends April 10th. We will have 12 random winners, open to international friends. Are you ready for prizes??

5 winners will get 1 pattern of choice from EACH P4P and M4M.

3 winners will get 3 patterns of choice from EACH P4P and M4M.

1 winner will get a $50 store credit to Sincerely Rylee Fabric Shop.

1 winner will get a $50 store credit to Pretty Posh Prints.

1 winner will get a $100 store credit to Knitpop.

Our grand prize winner will get their choice of a Brother Coverstitch 2340cv OR $100 gift card to Joann Fabric!

We can NOT wait to see what you make! If you have questions, need advice, inspiration, make sure to post in our FB groups, (P4P or M4M) we would LOVE to see what you’re sewing for your capsule!!
How to use the Photoshop templates-

Open file in Photoshop. Download all the photos you may want to put on your board. Click on the layer that says ‘Place Photo Here’. Click “File”, “Place” and then choose the photo you’d like. You can resize the photo by holding Shift and dragging the corners. Repeat with each box. Then save as a photo file so you can share with us!

If you want to just add JUST text to the board, click on the layer that says ‘Place Photo Here’ then add your text there for each box.

If you want to add text on top your photo, add a new layer above the layer that says ‘Place Photo Here’. Then add your text there for each box.

Want some inspiration?? Check out these boards from our team and/or blog contributors!
