Street Smart Sweatshirt Collection review

First off how awesome is that name Street Smart Sweatshirt Collection I was honored to test this pattern out. It's for girls and boys, it has so many options it's seriously not funny and it's seriously awesome. Best part of all it just went on sale today so go grab it now, you can get it right HERE it wont be on sale for long so get it while it's 15% off.

Look at my Sora she will be in the pattern showing off, along with all the amazing other children who are showing off all the awesome different options. Seriously though look at how much you can choose from and do with the pattern that's why it's called a collection not just a pattern.

Sora's dress was made with cotton knit and because I thought the fabric looked a little outdated for my taste I took my paint pen and drew over some of the flowers :). But this dress was awesome once I got it on her I was in love, and so was Sora. The fit is perfect to right above the knee, I did Chloe's the same way but I used a jersey knit so it was super thin and breathable I loved how hers turned out as well. But she wasn't as photogenic as her sister so I literally only got one photo of her in it.

I then decided to do a high low shirt with my awesome unicorn fabric and instead of long sleeves I did a 3/4 length sleeve because it's a thick knit, and I have to say I LOVE how it turned out.

  

I also made her leggings from jersey knit, on the bottom of the high low sweatshirt I added a black lace, I think it turned out pretty great.

I then made Trent's sweat shirts I made both of his with a hood the green lantern one I made I hand painted the green lantern symbol on and then sewed it together but the hood was to big of a gap, most likely because the fabric was extremely thin. The second one I made him was a fleece rocker print that one turned out perfect, but because it was 108 out he wanted nothing to do with taking pictures so these were the best I could get. But during winter time he will be wearing both sweatshirts for sure I love them and my girls won't take off their dresses I kid you not they want to sleep in them and everything. So its a win all around. Now we just have to wait for winter time so I can make a bunch more sweatshirts and they will be styling because of all the awesome options this collection offers.

Guess what now you can pick up the pattern HERE and it's on sale right now, can't get any better than that right?
