More Out to Sea Projects!

 

One of my FAVORITE collections that has come out in the past year was Out to Sea by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller Fabrics! There was just something so whimsical about her assortment of nautical themed prints that totally captured my heart! I even made myself a Perfect with Pockets Skirt with one of the Anchor Prints which turned out fabulous! But this nautical quilt is just about killing me right now!

 

 

 

Sarah Jane got a little help from Amy over at Diary of a Quilter to bring us a full tutorial for this adorable design! I am absolutely smitten by the clever use of the panels and those adorable flag blocks...and using that stripe for a bias binding?? TOO PERFECT! This little quilt would be so precious as a crib quilt, maybe in an entire nursery decorated in this collection!! Or hung on the wall in your little pirate's room! You can see the full tutorial here!

 

 

Please tell me. HOW.CUTE.IS.THIS????? I am just about in love with this adorable little sailor dress! I could totally see a themed photo of the kiddos in outfits made from these great fabrics since there are lots of cool coordinates that would make adorable button up shirts or shorts for the boys, and obviously simple skirts or dresses for the girls! (FULL DRESS TUTORIAL HERE)

 

Sometimes going through some of the recent collections of the past year is so fun! There's always more projects on the web after a line has been out for a little while so its great to revisit those favorite fabrics and be inspired all over again! I seriously need to make myself a skirt out of that navy sailboat print now...

 

 

Happy Sewing!!

Fabric Feature: Out to Sea by Sarah Jane!!

 

 

I'm pretty sure we're all near cuteness overload but this collection just HAS to be talked about! Ever since we saw Sarah Jane's booth at Spring Market we've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Out to Sea and now that its here we don't know what to do with ourselves!! Too many creative ideas just spring to life in the presence of these adorable maritime inspired prints!

 

 

 

  

 

I guess that's why Sarah Jane decided to host the Out to Sea DIY Blog Tour featuring this adorable collection! There is just SO much you can do with these fabrics, its a little crazy!

LOVE the Narwhal Pillow!! Perfect if you're redoing a kids room in this collection or just to add a little whimsy to an already nautical decor!!

 

 

 

I totally laughed out loud with glee when I saw the Narwhal Wall Mount! Such a fun and creative way to bring some pattern to the wall in a wee one's room!

 

Does your little one love pirates?? Make them this super sweet Pirate Doll with the tutorial by One More Mushroom! How cute would it be to give a pirate themed gift, complete with an Out to Sea quilt and this little guy as a new member of their pirate crew!

 

The Anchor Pillow by Tea Rose Home would look totally adorable on a neutral couch or your favorite chair! I love all things nautical and this fun pillow is a easy way to add a punch of it into your decor!

 

 

I just LOVE all of the Map Panels, each panel comes with 4 maps on it so you can create fun placemats, a map pillow or two, or frame it for wall art in a nautical themed room!! You can download the instructions for this Rounded Cushion here!

 

 

How about making Amy Butler's Must Have Pillow with your favorite prints from the collection for a nursery? The pattern is ON SALE this week too!

 

 

And don't think this line is just for the kiddos!! You really can't get any more chic than the Anchor Skirt! Doesn't it look like something straight from Anthropologie?? I love how Cotton & Curls styled it with a simple gray tee to really let her creation stand out! Even if you're not into the nautical prints, that's one skirt pattern you'll come back to again and again!

 

I absolutely LOVE a peter pan collar and Cotton & Curls strikes again with this detachable version in the pretty Sea Flowers print! What a fun way to dress up a plain shirt!! You could even embellish with a little button in the center to make it your own! I think I might make a few as Christmas gifts! 

 

There will be more projects shared throughout the month on Sarah Jane's blog so keep checking back there every Wednesday for more inpsiring ideas for using this collection! We hope you're all just as charmed by it as we are!
