Compass Sweatshirt by My Little Plumcake

Depending on where you live, you may be experiencing some cool mornings and evenings which is a sign of dropping temps on their way (come faster cold weather, come faster!!!).

Today we get to show off the Compass Sweatshirt by My Little Plumcake.  I really love the unique cowl hood on this - so warm and cozy, but still stylish.  Use fleece or sweatshirt fabric for cold temps, or lighter weight knits for a perfect fall layering piece.

Here are Jeanine and Brianne to show off their creations and share all the details of the patterns with you.

Flutter-By top Ruby Jeans Closet

Summer is officially done in the northern hemisphere, which means it is just about to start for our neighbors to the south.  This great pattern will work for us all.  A simple top with a unique neckline, and plenty of room for expressing your style through fabric, trims, maybe even a pocket or applique!

For those headed into fall, pair this adorable top with a jean jacket and some adorable pants, or make the dress and layer it over a fitted long sleeve top and leggings with boots - so many options, and of course it looks adorable by itself too.

Check out Janette's review of the Flutter-by Top and Dress by Ruby Jeans Closet....

Hide 'n Go Seek Hoodie by Fishsticks Designs


Apparently I've been living in the bland chicken nugget world.  Wasn't until I tired Fishsticks Patterns did I realize I was truly missing out on something special.


My first Fishsticks Pattern is the Hide 'n Go Seek Reversible Hoodie.  Holy Moly, I am IN LOVE! And so is my daughter, who is tremendously difficult to please.

Nitty gritty then we will go into details.

Sizes: 12 months to 14 years

Price: $9.75 Considering there are 11 sizes; that's only $0.88636363636364 per year. Can't afford not to buy it.

Fabrics:  Knit with woven pockets, back panel, and front plackets.  The woven fabrics make sewing the zipper super simple

Difficulty: low intermediate


The tutorial includes a finished measurement size chart.  For jackets, I like having the finished measurements rather than child size chart.  You can pick the jacket size depending on the ease you desire. The tutorial also includes a color photo for each step resulting in guess free sewing. There are also suggestions on which stitches to use to sew knit to knit and knit to wovens.

Sewing the hoodie is a breeze.  I rate the pattern low intermediate due to the zipper and sewing the sleeves together at the end.  These two things are not difficult but you should feel confident sewing clothes. The hoodie has a professional finish with no exposed seams.

Don't want it reversible?  No problem!  Use a regular separating zipper and you can omit the interior pockets for a simple lined jacket.  The hoodie would be awesome with fleece exterior and knit interior for extra warmth.


The Hide n Go Seek Hoodie is reversible. Meaning you have to cut double the amount of pieces.  It's a LOT of cutting, but so worth it.  What is more difficult than the cutting, is picking fabrics - it took me an entire evening!
When picking fabrics, I grabbed colors I know my 4 year old likes.  As I mentioned before, she's very difficult to please. She hasn't liked much of what I've sewn for her recently.  I was quite nervous about how it would turn out in the end.  Shockingly, the wild and crazy fabrics came together fabulously.  She was so excited to find it waiting for her in the morning.  I received a big hug and 'thank you' from her. 
MAMA FOR THE WIN!
