Penelope Peplum pattern release! (for women!)

You guuuuyyyss! I’ve been secretly sewing myself loads and loads of peplum tops and my new PENELOPE PEPLUM pattern is now done! You may have seen a few sneak peeks on instagram, but other than that I have been pretty hush-hush about this. It’s so exciting for me because it’s my first women’s pattern!

I’ve sorta been avoiding sewing for myself since I had a baby, but I’m finally getting back into it. (Postpartum was WAY different the second time around, so much harder for me! And I’m still out of shape, but whatever.) Anyways, it feels so good to sew for myself again and these tops look great on everyone!

The Penelope Peplum pattern is a sweet knit top in 5 sizes, XS, S, M, L and XL to fit bust measurements 32″ to 44″ (Though some of my testers were larger and it still fit, depends on how stretchy your fabric is!)

It is a super easy pattern to whip up and so fun to wear. It is flattering for most body types because the cute little peplum hides a common problem area. And there are 3 sleeve lengths to choose from: cap, bicep and half length.

I made these tops in different prints from Heather Ross’ Briar Rose Jersey line. I love the strawberries the most but the floral is cute, too!

You can purchase the Penelope Peplum Pattern (say that five times fast!) in my shop and sew one up today! You only need 1 to 1.5 yards of knit!

I have more peplums to show you soon! I can’t stop sewing them!

In other news, my three Winter Wonderland patterns are now available individually:

The Cozy Pilot Hat, the Arctic Trapper Hat and the Juliet Capelet!

    Congrats on the new pattern! I’ve been trying to embrace sewing for myself more- it is a whole different mindset than kid sewing. What with the tweaking and adjusting and women’s bodies being more than straight up and down!

    WOW. I love this design. I really need to embrace the peplum look, I haven’t had any babies yet but some days just require loose clothing, you know? :) I love the strawberries fabric, too.

    cuteness! The second postpartum was really rough for me too. Especially after the extreme quick bounce back my body did the first time. All of the sudden everything was totally broken and flabby. Ahh!
