<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see warm, drapey blanket ponchos everywhere I look these days! They are just perfect for wearing on a hayride, sleigh-ride, or roasting marshmallows outside. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a sewing person I inspect clothing constantly to see how it's constructed. It's a little embarrassing sometimes when I get a raised eyebrow from friends who haven't shopped with me before, or from fellow customers in a store. My kids just tell them, "My mom is seeing how she can make that!" Well, this one is just TOO easy not to share. Grab a yard and a half or so of a beautifully printed, non-fraying fabric and you are literally 10-minutes away from finishing one of these! If your fabric of choice needs to be hemmed to prevent fraying, make that 20-30 minutes tops. For mine, I used fleece. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>STEP #1: MEASURE</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This project is essentially just a rectangle. To get your size, take the following two measurements:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, you will get your width measurement. Have your child stand with both arms straight out, or you can lay a long-sleeved tee shirt flat on the floor with arms out. Either way will work. Measure from the point at about mid-forearm to the same point on the other arm. Mine was 30 inches across.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, you need your length. Measure from the top of the shoulder to about half-way between waist and knee. Mine was 24 inches. Double that length as you'll be folding the poncho over front and back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>STEP #2: CUT</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lay out your fabric <b>with the direction of stretch running horizontally</b> and cut a rectangle using your length and width measurements. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, find and mark the middle point of your rectangle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>STEP #3: FRONT SLIT</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut a straight line from the mid-point of your bottom edge up to the middle point of the rectangle. Toward the top of the slit, you may want to round out a narrow tear drop shape for a smoother neckline. You can also use scissors to round the corners of desired.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If your fabric <b><u>is</u></b> prone to fraying, now is the time to sew a regular or rolled hem all the way around the cut edges.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u> <span style="font-size: large;">STEP #4: SIDE STITCHES</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fold your rectangle in half from top to bottom with wrong-sides-together, so that the slit is in front. Find the mid-point of the right and left edges. Stitch a horizontal line about 2 inches long on both sides as shown. This will form your arm opening.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>STEP #5: CLOSURE</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You may stop here if you'd like, or add a front closure. I had two buttons and a hair elastic on hand; but a toggle, frog clasp, or button with button-hole would work well too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If using an elastic loop closure, simply stitch down your elastic on one side, about halfway down the front slit.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Attach buttons: one covering up the stitched-down end of your elastic, and one on the other side of the slit. </span></div>

Its secret is a fully-lined stretch bodice that makes for a fitted look, and easy self-dressing. It's a quick sew with no fussy closures. Pattern options include a non-gathered or fuller gathered skirt that can be made short or long. Instructions and measurements are given to add embellishments like a shoulder sash, cape, and skirt overlay. Take a look at the beautiful creations our testers have stitched up, to inspire you!</span></div>

Upsized "April Showers Jacket"<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am excited to introduce today, the upsized version one of my favorites, the "April Showers Jacket." Opening up shop last November, I offered this (toddler-sized) jacket as my very first pattern! I've so enjoyed the positive customer response it's gotten, especially the requests to grade it into bigger sizes. The new pattern includes sizes 12 mos.-10! I've given it a general upgrade as well based on new tester feedback, including better measurement charts, an elastic option for the hood, and additional notation within the pattern pieces to help construction go even more smoothly!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's an easy sew and a great choice for a first jacket pattern, if you've never made one before. Cotton laminate fabric is ideal for the project; and a full section of tips for using this type of material is given in the tutorial. Your coat can also be made with a variety of fabrics such as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">corduroy, quilter's cotton, fleece, wool, nylon, PUL, etc. Linings that work well include everything from flannel, to minky.

I love<a href="http://www.sewingmamaraeanna.com/"> Sewing Mama RaeAnna's</a> idea for this series! Here's my story:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My passion for sewing probably began earlier than I can remember---on those precious afternoons I spent one-on-one with my Grandmother Ruby, who kept me as a preschooler while my mom was at work. She loved sewing and had a closet full of supplies left over from her beautiful projects. She gave me free reign over ALL of them! It was a creative wonderland. I recall her sitting with me, showing me how to stitch--first with a needle and thread--then propped up on a stack of telephone books at her sewing table. After starting elementary school, I still spent mornings, afternoons, and breaks at her house. I loved spending time drawing patterns for little doll clothes and stuffed animals. She introduced me to different techniques whenever I would ask--but for the most part, she let me experiment independently. I fell in love with the trial and error process of taking an intangible idea and forming it into an actual object.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It wasn't till I became an adult that I started wanting to make useful items:) Many of my first "real" projects were baby gifts for friends as we starting having children. They were FAR from perfect; as I still had a lot to learn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact I'm still learning and hope never to stop!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I've learned, is that our God is creative at his core. He made us in his image and placed in us a little of his desire and ability to CREATE:). As humans, we reflect Him imperfectly. But I can't help but think that when we develop and use those gifts, however limited we may be--that it honors Him.</div>

This blanket, was one of my first "grown-up" sewing projects. I gave it to a sweet little newborn in 2007. In 2012, his mom sent me a message. She asked if there was any way I could revive the blanket because it was completely threadbare and falling apart from use. That little boy--no longer a baby---NEEDED it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was THE blanket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I sat with my seam ripper and that pitiful-looking quilt, picking out stitches I had sewn over 5 years before, I had never been so proud of something I'd made. I remember thinking to myself, "THIS is why I sew."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sewing had given me a way to show love. A way of showing others they are important to me by sharing my time, thought, and energy---to make something just for them. Not everything is treasured forever, no doubt. Of course, plenty of items I sew have certainly made their way into Goodwill bags and hand-me-down boxes. But that is perfectly okay too! Sewing has accomplished it purpose as creative outlet for me, and expressing love to others. Pretty satisfying and worthwhile!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So--I keep on creating for family and friends, and designing patterns for my shop, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sewing and designing time is limited though, as I do take frequent detours to teach and assist my kids with the spontaneous projects THEY just HAVE to make! I love passing on this skill to them and fueling their creative fires:)</div>

I took part in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/219434968239884/">Betties Basket</a> Summer Designers' Challenge this week I'm excited to share the newest pattern I've been working on: the Simple Seaside Shorties and Capris!! It's made for STRETCH KNIT fabric~ and absolutely full of interchangeable options including two lengths (shorties or capris), two hemlines (ruffles, or straight hem), two waistbands (regular elastic or yoga). There is also a cute little optional buttoning pocket that can add a fun detail to your pants. This is a true wardrobe staple that you'll use time and time again. Make a pair of casual or dressy bottoms to pair perfectly with tees, tunics, and dresses! You can also use it to sew up some comfy spring or summer pajamas! You will LOVE the versatility of this pattern!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm Kelly, designer at Ruby and Jack Patterns! I created this blog to share sewing ideas and updates from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/rubyandjackpatterns">my pattern shop</a>:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have been sewing since before I can remember, thanks to my 2 precious Grandmothers for whom my shop is named. As I grew up, they constantly shared their time, patience, and passion with me~ helping me develop my skills and fall in love with the process of creating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was so lucky to have a Ruby and a Jack! Not everyone has access to hands-on teachers. So, I recently began designing PDF sewing patterns as a way to share with others, a little of what these 2 ladies have given me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I am excited to show you a preview of my newest design, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The Perfect Cartwheel Ruffle Shorts</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They are scheduled to be released this Thursday, May 22, as part of the Aspiring Designer Challenge Week at <a href="http://patternrevolution.com/">Pattern Revolution</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The design was inspired by my feisty and feminine little girl, Emory. She loves all things ruffled and girly.......BUT NOT as much as she loves to cartwheel, climb, and explore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> These liven up her wardrobe a bit, beyond the general shorts and tees, AND supply the freedom she needs, to be active and adventurous :)</span></div>
