This is S’s bedroom. It’s tiny, which is why it’s rather difficult to photograph. But you can see that it is still bright and cheery despite its diminutive size. (To give you a sense of scale, that’s a crib-sized mattress on her toddler bed.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve incorporated plenty of City Weekend fabrics into S’s room. The City Weekend quilt, the pattern for which is available as a free download from both the Moda website<\/a> and from our website<\/a>, was inspired by a vintage quilt I found in a library book. Moda has produced kits for this quilt, which you can purchase via many shops and websites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A tutorial for toy bins similar to the ones I made for S can be found on the Purl Bee (Sewn Stash Baskets<\/a>–not exactly how we made ours, but the finished result is very similar).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also made S a simple fitted sheet using the interlock knit from the collection. When you feel how soft this fabric is, you’ll want to sleep on one too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What will you make? I can’t wait to see. Visit the City Weekend Flickr group<\/a> to see more ideas and to add photos of your own sewing projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
