Sew Fab – A Peek at What’s in the Bundle!

May 8, 2014 by Abby 7 Comments

This post contains affiliate links. When you purchase the Sew Fab Bundle through those links I earn a percentage of the sale. Thank you so much for supporting the Sew Fab Sale! We all appreciate your business!

If you’re like me and don’t really have any girls to sew for, you may be wondering what’s in the Sew Fab Bundle for you? Well, there’s lots! Let’s take a look shall we? Want to see the full bundle, take a look at my post here.

FOR THE BOYS

There are lots of patterns in the pack perfect for boys! Many of these are unisex patterns and will work for girls too. I just wanted to point out what applies to boys from the bundle.

Long Beach Board Shorts

These cute shorts come in long leg length for boys and a short version for girls. They have an elastic waist with the option to also have a drawstring.

Scientific Seamstress Bowling Shirt
This shirt is so cute and the pattern includes many options for different fabric combinations. As a bonus for buying the bundle, you also receive the doll/teddy bear version of this pattern. Eek, matching bear and boy shirts…too cute!

Cupcake Top
The name of this pattern may make it sound like it’s just for girls, but the pattern makes a great basic top for boys too. Boys will love collecting all sorts of treasures in the pouch pocket on the front too. You can see my version here.

Seraphic Pants
I think these would work great for a boy. They’ve got the funky dropped crotch that’s hot right now and plenty of room to move, but still have a put together look.



Crayon Folio
You can have so much fun with this art folio, making it up in fabrics perfect for your little one. I am also a fan of portable and quiet projects…great for car trips and plane rides and when your children are the plus one at your lunch date.

Poppy and Pip Penguins
These little guys are just too cute! They remind me of Pingu. I’m now on the hunt for the perfect grey felt to make these up.

Doll, Carrier and Blankie
This may seem like a girly thing to make, but I think Roman would quite like a baby doll and a little carrier. This would make a great new sibling gift for older brothers and sisters when a baby is born. So many kids love to care for a baby doll while their mum is looking after the real baby. I can think of a million uses the carrier would get too!

LADIES

Now that we’ve seen what’s in the bundle for the boys, let’s take a look at what’s in there for us ladies!

Handmade Therapy Satchel
I am in love with this bag! The construction is nice and simple so it really lets your fabric be the star! It’s a good excuse to buy some shiny bag hardware too.

Leather Accent Fold Over Pouch
This is such a great bag for a night out. The pattern also includes details for making a smaller cosmetics bag. You can see my version here.

Big Tote Bag
Well, I can’t really give you an objective opinion on this pattern since it is my own! I have made many of these though and they are super handy! I use mine shopping, at the library, for trips to the beach, as a knitting bag and a sewing project bag.

Knitting Bag

Piko Top
This top looks so carefree and easy. I love how effortless it look but comfortable at the same time. The pattern has an amazing size range too, going from XS – 5XL!!

Laurel Tunic
This pattern also makes a great wardrobe staple, with plenty of different sleeve and length options. Great size range on this pattern too, XXS – 3XL!

OTHER IDEAS
These ideas are a bit less conventional, but would work well to make two of the girls patterns apply to boys.
Sweet Tea Shorties – Minus the ruffles, this pattern makes a nice basic pair of shorts. Perfect for summer pjs for boys!

Tulip Pinafore – I think this pattern would work well as an art smock. It’s easy to put on and a snap on the back instead of a button would mean that kids could undo and possibly do it up themselves.

So, even if you have no girls to sew dresses for and don’t think you ever will, the bundle is still great value at only $29.95 That works out to less than $1.50 per pattern!

    GAH! Super bummed I’m going to miss this bundle :-/ WHY do children not thrive on fresh air alone? 😉 My Mr 2 is in love with the ‘Pingu’s’

    Unfortunately big families leave little spending money for such things 😉

    I love the boys stuff, even though I have girls, I have more boys and it seems sometimes they don’t always get included. The ladies patterns re great because my daughter also sometimes feels left out. I make more things or the little ones. That tunic and top is perfect for a tall tween, which she is, so often ladies clothes are cut in a way I don’t want my eleven year old to be dressed.

    Boys do seem to miss out a lot in the sewing world. Yes, the tunic would make a great top for a tween! With the right fabric it would be perfect!

Quick and satisfying project today making a brush Quick and satisfying project today making a brush roll for my art supplies. Vintage canvas from the stash (which I think is from a bougie Italian designer). Matching bag to come. Then I can grab and go for my next en plein air session.
I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate eac I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate each season and observe the cyclical nature of growth and of life. Through tending a garden we learn to embrace imperfection and patience. That the reason for everything is the journey not the destination.
My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
My grandma always grew borage and would put it in My grandma always grew borage and would put it in salads. I didn't know anyone else who made salad with flowers in it (it was the 80s) and I thought she was a magical witch. I'm so excited to finally grow it in my own garden! When buying veggie seeds I found borage on @theseedcollection so couldn't help myself. Witches unite! ✨🌱
Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to front garden a bit easier. Used scraps of timber from the old retaining wall. He wasn't a fan of the circular saw but loved doing the drilling and screwing. Worked out just as I hoped! I don't have a builders square, but turns out a quilting ruler makes an excellent substitute.
