A Blurb from Jen

Hello everyone, I’m Jen! I’ve been working with Gail for a little over 6 months and I realized I never introduced myself to the Flosstyle community. I happened upon Flosstyle 2 years ago while on the hunt for a preemie/newborn outfit. Of course, the Itty Bitty came highly recommended in the large PDF group on Facebook.

I made the Itty Bitty for a Harry Potter loving friend. The dress fabric was from Joanns and the Kimono top was from Backstitch.

I live in Tennessee with my wonderful husband and 4 children. The kiddos range from 11 years old to newborn. 4 weeks ago we added our newest member to my family. Here he is in his own Itty Bitty set!

I’m sure you all have seen Shawn before, I started on the Flosstyle Marketing team sewing for her.

I started sewing when I was a kid. I remember being really little and sitting with my great grandmother “helping” her sew mine and my sister’s clothing. Most techniques I learned from my dad though. He also would make mine and my sister’s dresses for special occasions, Easter and etc.
Anyways, I’m happy to be a part of Flosstyle and I’m excited for all the things yet to come!!!

Gardening Kits with the Bunny Bag

I recently signed up for a Fun in Sun Craft Swap. Swaps are so much fun, I highly suggest finding one near you and participating in it. The theme for the swap was outdoorsy type play items for kids. I opted to make gardening kits. They’re easy and fun for all ages.

The Bunny Bag was perfect for holding all the contents of the kit. I couldn’t believe how much the bag held! Just look.

What non-holiday use have you gotten from the Bunny Bucket Pattern?

How to add pockets to the Zoo!

Today we are going to add a hidden kangaroo pocket to a long sleeved Zoo. Perfect for pocket obsessed little hands to stash things while adding an interesting design element.

You can use these instructions to add pockets to almost any shirt or jumper.

 

Cut an extra front (orange) between the bodice & hem lines


Trace 2 circles (7.5cm diameter) that sit at least 2.5cm away from the side and bodice lines to allow
for seams


Cut the circles out. Cut 2 strips of ribbing (18.5x4cm) join at ends and pin in each circle hole (just like
the neckline). Overlock then topstitch in place.


Position your extra front fabric behind and coverstitch (or zigzag) just in from the top. Trim off any
excess. Pin this extra layer to the front around 3 the raw edges to keep together while sewing the
rest of the shirt as normal.


Whalla! Hidden kangaroo pocket to store all your nik naks or snacks!
