20 patterns to sew cool threads for the modern girl
Books by fabric designers are hot, sewing with knits is on the rise, and children's clothing and accessories are the most popular projects in the category. Combining all three of these with her fresh, signature style, Patty Young offers up a compelling collection of children's wear for her eager audience of blog followers and fans of her pattern and fabric designs.

In Sewing MODKID Style, you'll get 20 patterns that can be customized to fit toddlers (sizes 2T-5T) or girls (sizes 6-10). Embracing Patty's specialty of designing patterns with knit fabrics—which allow children to run, stretch, and play comfortably—the projects dress your girl with flair and style.

• Extensive sewing and finishing techniques for knit fabrics
• Styling tips are included throughout, such as how to wear leggings on their own or under a skirt and how to sew a dress that can double as a shirt
• Showcasing Patty's colorful and wearable designs, projects are great for moms, gift givers, and knit fabric enthusiasts

If you're a beginning to intermediate sewer with a young girl in your life, you'll love the projects in Sewing MODKID Style.

Acknowledgments
Words cannot even begin to describe the amount of love and appreciation I have for my dear husband, Jon, who pretty much took over and ran the household (and very well done, I might add) from the moment I signed my book contract. Jon not only gave me all the space and time I asked for, but also all the moral support and encouragement I never asked for but so desperately needed.
A million and one thanks to my lovely studio assistants, Emalee Grambo and Emily Parks (a.k.a. Em Em), for being my second pair of hands throughout this entire project. No kidding: they not only sewed about 99 percent of the samples that appear on these pages, but their actual hands are in all of the how-to photos. I couldn t have done all this without their help and positive disposition.
A huge thanks to my dear friend Dawn Bergeron, of Dawn Bergeron Photography, for assisting me with some of the photography in this book. Her group shots at the grungy alley and Funks Grove were breathtaking, and the connections she helped me make with the models moms are absolutely priceless.
Hugs and kisses to my gorgeous little models-always eager, willing, and able-Sophie, Sydney, Anna, Maddie, Emersyn, Simone, and Giselle. Their sweet, smiling faces are the reason I do what I do! And, of course, a huge thanks to their moms, Dawn, Nikki, Dana, and Memuna, for their patience and flexibility!
The generous contributions made by the following suppliers made it possible for me to showcase a wide variety of fabrics, trims, and tools in this book. Thanks a bunch to the entire team at Michael Miller Fabrics, especially to Kathy Miller and Christine Osmers, for the endless supply of knit fabrics to play with and, of course, for their support and encouragement through all the crazy times. To Kelly Laws, of Tacony Corporation, for my wonderful Baby Lock Symphony sewing machine. To Caroline Geraci, of The Fabric Fairy, for supplying many of the funky imported knits and yummy organic velours you see throughout this book. To Tira Schulteis of Brewer Distributors and Tammi Hensley of Prym-Dritz Corporation for all the elastic and stretch trims I could ever wish for. And to Tracy Whitlock, of Fairfield, for the huge box of pillow forms and quilt battings.
I would like to extend a super-big thank you to Roxane Cerda at Wiley Publishing for believing in me and always being my biggest cheerleader. Because of her I can finally add author to my credentials. The entire team at Wiley was an absolute dream to work with.
Last but certainly not least, to my faithful blog readers, Twitter followers, and Facebook fans, I just want to say, Thanks and You guys rock! for making me feel the love, support, and excitement in all your comments. I hope you love it!

Introduction
Times have certainly changed. Gone are the days of June Cleaver and Betty Draper when moms and kids alike were impeccably polished and dressed to the nines, every lock of hair perfectly in place at all times.
Nowadays, in this electronic and media-dominated culture of the twenty-first century, kids have a busier social life than we did. When my kids aren t mashing video game buttons while glued to the TV screen, they re being carted to swim lessons, gymnastics, dance class, birthday parties, school concerts, festivals, or sleepovers. And on the off chance that none of those activities are taking place at that moment, we re grocery shopping, running to the post office, or picking up Thai take-out. Never a dull moment. It s a GO, GO, GO! life.
Dressing the Modern, Active Child
When I set out to create the perfect MODKID wardrobe, I wanted to design clothes that kids actually want to wear, not the idealistic version some parents have of what a kid should wear. Yes, those perfectly dressed, always poised kids who never run and never get dirty. I thought to myself, What would make a kid actually want to reach for that item in the closet and put it on? Busy lifestyles lead to individuality and a heightened sense of independence, thus even the youngest of kids want to dress themselves, pick out their own clothes, and act like big kids.
The MODKID style is a perfect balance of ...

Comfort. No kid wants to run around town in a tight, stiff, overstuffed outfit. An active lifestyle demands clothes that move, run, jump, and bend with you. Enter ... knits! And because knit fabrics stretch and contract to conform to their bodies, these garmen
