I'm absolutely loving back to school sewing, so today, we're kicking off Sis Boom's, At School & Play Blog Tour.
One of our favorite patterns from Sis Boom is their Tobago Tank and until SEPT 4th ALL patterns are 40% off with the code: BACK2SCHOOL, so make sure you stop at the shop and grab some along with the Tobago tank. ;)
We've had some fun hacking the Tobago before, and this time I thought we could do another small hack, by making it in my kids favorite type of fabric: KNIT!
I didn't change the pattern pieces at all and cut it out of Raspberry Creeks Club Knit Floral instead of woven fabric, then I added neck and arm bands. The only other small change was adding 4 little belt loops so I could put a belt around Aevs waist. Super small and easy adjustment, but it turns it into a whole new dress!
Aevs has been soo excited to get a dress out of this floral since we bought it and I felt today she deserved a special treat since those pins in her arm are coming out and a new cast will be put on for a few more weeks. Poor girl. I broke my arm 3 times as a kid, but I think she's spent more time in a cast than I did!
So now that you've read all about my small hack, we're onto the giveaway!!!
Leave a comment telling me what color cast you think miss Aevs will pick today for your chance to win the Tobago pattern for yourself! Giveaway will end Sept 2nd at the end of the tour!
Don't forget to check out the other bloggers looks this week.
We are excited to announce that our bloggers EACH have a pattern giveaway on their posts! Everyday something new, so be sure to follow along with this tour!
Too cute! It looks great in knit and with the belt loops!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Miss Aevs wears purple today. Great modeling job, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI love this dress hack and the fabric, such a great combination!!
ReplyDeleteGuessing green or purple!
ReplyDeleteI think the pinky/red or purple!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress on her, my little would want that the second I show it to her. I'd better make her one before I show her �� if she were my girl.she'd go for pink or purple.
ReplyDeletePoor Aevs! But she's still modeling like a pro. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteGlad she is on the mend! I guess a green cast.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the belt loops. Hot pink for my grand girl, so that's my guess for Aevs too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I can picture her rocking a lime green cast ;-)
ReplyDeletepink camo!
ReplyDeletelight blue to match her dress!
ReplyDeleteCan they do a rainbow cast? Wouldn't that be fun. I think she will pick turquoise for her cast.
ReplyDeleteI would think pink or lavendar
ReplyDeleteA pretty blue.
ReplyDeleteShe needs a purple cast! I can't wait to try this in a knit too!
ReplyDeleteI vote pink. Love the dress, makes her look very grownup.
ReplyDeleteAdorable in the knit! I think she will choose green!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dress! I really need to make one!
ReplyDeleteI think she will choose orange!
