The Jersey Love Blog Tour Day #8

 
We’re closing out the Jersey Love Blog Tour with two more amazing bloggers today! Shannon from Little Kids Grow has a Downtown V-Neck to share, and Max from Max California is showing off a pair of Runaround Pants! Shannon is a talented seamstress, a busy homeschooling mom to six (soon to be seven) and an inspired writer who shares her faith, her family and her sewing on her blogs, Little Kids Grow and Motivation Mondays. There are so many great tutorials at LKG — I love that Shannon has a way of putting together tutorials that allow you to take a simple pattern and make it something amazing! Check out Drafting a Shirt Collar, Adding a Single Piece Placket and the Peek-a-Boo Button Fly! The clothing that Shannon sews for her children has this amazing classic but modern feel to it, like these Princess Dreams Dresses for her twins or this Big Boy Style outfit for her little big boy. Shannon sews beautiful clothing for herself, too, like her stylish Ladder Skirt (which happens to have a tutorial, too)!For the Jersey Love Blog Tour, Shannon sewed a Downtown V-Neck for her son. You can see more by clicking the sneak peek picture below!Max (or Ari and sometimes, Adam West) is the unforgettable blogger behind Max California. Max has this geeky, modern, fun style that is sort of irresistible. (My 15-year-old crafting daughter and fellow comic book/sci-fi nerd adores Max’s blog!) Max has plenty of great little boy tutorials, like The Tuxedo Tee and The Robin Tee, and some sweet girl stuff, too — this upcycled Wanderlust Shirt from PR&P is amazing! Max sews great stuff for herself, as well. Love Star Wars? You have to see the12 Parsec Dress that she made for this year’s Make for Mom series. There are plenty of crafting ideas that aren’t sewing related, too. This Crayon Wall Explosion art piece is so cool!For the blog tour, Max sewed a pair of Runaround Shorts for her son, Vincent.
