Mamma Can Do It Fit Pants/ Annelaine Coffee & Tea Cardigan Video Party

DIY & How to, Sewing hacks

You may have seen, a few weeks ago, we teamed up with Annelaine Patterns and had the most AWESOME Video Party! This was our first time doing something like this, and we had so much fun!

We had a group of really talented ladies who sewed our Fit Pants and/or the Annelaine Coffee & Tea Cardigan. They either hacked the patterns and made videos explaining what they did, or they sewed them and made videos with fun and helpful tips.

If you have not already watched the videos, we encourage you to check them out! These ladies worked so hard to make this video party happen, and I bet you’ll be able to find some really helpful tips too!

Laura

Hi, I'm Laura! I'm the mama of two sweet boys, Daniel and Luke. They're my primary reason and inspiration for sewing! I love seeing them wear mama-made things. I started sewing a little over three years ago after my first little boy was born, and I've never looked back! SO FUN! I've also recently started sewing a few things for myself, which I love! It's so fun to be able to hack patterns to get a new outfit made exactly how I want it! Sewing is such a great hobby, because there is ALWAYS something new to learn. It's impossible to know everything! If you want to, there is always a way to expand your skill set. At the same time, you can use skills you already know and ones in which you are already proficient to sew for fun/ relaxation. I love using sewing to wind down in the evenings. And getting something new and cute for my kids or myself is just a bonus! I love being part of the MDCI promo team! I love these patterns! They're all so great. Truly staples that you can modify or hack to make them your own! Thank you so much for reading my blog posts! I hope you find some inspiration! Feel free to check out my personal blog as well to find information on other patterns and tutorials!
