I'm so excited to officially kick-off our Summer break with an amazing capsule collection from Project Run & Play! The Project Watercolor Beach is a collaboration from several designers from previous Project Run & Play seasons. When Audrey first reached out to invite me to sew, I was just coming off of the madness of Season 23. I was ready to dive back into sewing, especially after seeing the collection's line drawings. I was lucky enough to sew up 6 of the 10 patterns and picked out my favorite digital design to add to one.
First, I sewed up the Golden Dress by Suco by Susana. This is a sweet dolman-style dress with a v-neck and cinched waist. Optional back waist tie and pockets are included (had major regret not adding the pockets -- don't tell my daughter. HA!) Based on fabric recommendations, I chose a lightweight fabric from my stash (walmart mystery fabric) that I knew would drape well and still be easy enough to work with. It's unlined and finished with a neck facing.
My daughter has worn this both as a dress and a swimsuit cover-up to the pool.
Next, for my oldest daughter, I made the Chromium Cropped Hoodie by Call Ajaire. This hoodie pattern is JAM-PACKED with options and this will be one to make for all seasons. It has different sleeve lengths, hood, and optional ears. It's by far her favorite item I sewed her and she's already demanded requested more. I used the softest french terry that I received from So Sew English in a cool watercolor tie dye.
To pair with the hoodie, I sewed the Bodhi Board Skirt by Bubby and Me Creations and used a denim from my stash. This skirt is an a-line skirt with elastic-waisted back and side pocket. I love the added detailing the topstitching provides. This pattern came together very quickly. I need to order some boardshort material so I can make some to match all their swimwear!
Speaking of swimwear, I also got to try the Viridian Suit by Jennuine Design. This pattern has multiple options as well, including a one-piece and ruffles, and plain version. I chose a coral stripe from Mimi's Custom Fabric and used the color-blocked two piece version and had fun playing with stripes.
While this suit was intended for my older daughter, my younger daughter decided she would claim it for herself...haha! (They wear the same size).
Lastly, I sewed up a comfy lounge outfit for my youngest (and have a Ripley Suit planned to coordinate) using the Lemon Tee by Suco by Susana, Abby's Marigold Pants by The Wolf and The Tree and the Sun Squad SVG by SewSophieLynn. The Lemon Tee and Abby's Marigold Pants are both patterns that will be sewn year-round.
The Lemon Tee has fun color-blocking options as well as multiple sleeve lengths. I used a soft white rayon knit and embellished it with the Sun Squad SVG in a yellow flocked iron-on and hot pink glitter iron-on, using my Cricut Maker.
Abby's Marigold Pants are the comfiest palazzo style pant that also includes shorts and capri lengths as well as side ruffles and waist tie (optional). I sewed up just the basic pant in a kelly green DBP from So Sew English and my daughter claimed they feel like heaven. (I have to agree -- sooooo soft!)
I had so much sewing these up and will be adding more pieces over the summer. Head over to Project Run & Play and check out the entire collection!! Also, follow along the PRP blog daily for more inspiration.
