Tutorial Swap :: Pen, Seb & Rox

A while back, Stephanie of Swoodson Says proposed a fun exchange of sorts: a tutorial swap where we would be matched up with another creative blogger, select one of their tutorials, and post about it.

I was assigned to feature a tutorial from Pen, Seb & Rox through the Elfster program.  Roxanne and I go way back, with her testing many of my patterns – mostly on her little Pen, but more recently with her son Seb.  It’s so fun watching her kids grow up over the last year!

Here’s where I have to make a little admission…  I completely misinterpreted the assignment.  I thought I was to go take a look at Roxanne’s great collection of tutorials and just post about it.  Turns out I was supposed to also DO the tutorial, and now I’m on vacation with no means to accomplish that.  So I’ll just carry on as if I’m not a complete dunderhead and introduce the tutorial I chose as I thought I was supposed to do.

The tutorial I chose is for this great “Broken and Sideways” Heart Tee.  I love the graphic simplicity of this and that it works equally well for boys or girls.

I particularly love that she included the printable template for the “<3″ to take the guesswork out of making one with the right font and sizing.  She even goes on to give recommended percentages for printing for toddlers or babies.

I hereby solemnly swear to make my girls their own Broken and Sideways Heart Tees (or dresses) in the very near future.  To make yours, be sure to visit Pen, Seb & Rox to get all the details.   While you’re there, check out the rest of her posts – her productivity is mind-boggling and her darling duo of Pen and Seb make fabulous models for her work!
