Love Notions JamJams - which I was a tester for
and two patterns which I made from my bundle purchase (yes, I liked the bundle enough to buy!)
EYMM Harems
Jocole Wide Leg Pants
First up, I tested this pattern and totally love it. Here are the Love Notions Jam Jams
First, the details
Size 2- 14
Shorts or capri bottoms
drop shoulder top with gathered back
Perfect for mixing, matching and upcycling
What I love: Like all of the Love Notion patterns, this includes some great tips for working with knits, so if you are new to knits, this is a great place to start. The back toke and ruffles make this pattern perfect for mixing and matching different prints and my daughter loves the fit of the top so much she wears it to school!
What I'd change: I think the capris run a little long on Inara... though she's also not very tall. Either way, for our next pair, I'll make the capris a 5 in length, but the fit is otherwise spot on.
And... because I want to make sure that you don't think I'm just promoting the ones I got for free.. I did actually like enough patterns in the bundle that it was worth it to purchase. Here was my theory.. If a normal priced pattern runs $8-$10, then I'd need to like at least 5 patterns in the bundle to make purchasing all of the remaining ones worth it. Because at $44, that would equate to around 5 full priced patterns. Either way, I liked enough and bought the remaining 7 that I didn't have... and here's what I had time to sew this week...
First up, the Jocole Wide Legs:
Sizes NB -14
Work in knit or woven for the pants
Short, capri, or pant lengths
Knit waistband in various widths
two pocket types
What I loved: The fit on these pants is fantastic... they cover her tush nicely without being weirdly baggy on the upper part. The big patch pockets are an adorable detail, and we both we swayed by the wide leg cuteness.
What I'd change: Actually, the only change I'd make is to shorten them by 1", but again, my kid isn't super tall.
And Connor is rockin' the EYMM Harem Pants:
Sizes NB - 18
Work in knits or woven.
capri or pant lengths
multiple waistband options
multiple hem options (elastic, normal, cuff)
What I love: The fit on this is fantastic. I am not a super fan of Harems, but the drop on these is nice... they don't look silly, and instead have a nice baggy fit that are great for crazy toddler play. In fact, they are laid out to wear to toddler tumbling tomorrow!
What I'd change: This one is total stupidity on my part, but once I got done, I wished I'd done the cuffed version, but I'll make him another pair tomorrow with cuffs!
Anyways... today is your LAST chance to Bundle Up! So jump on it and grab yourself some awesome patterns!
