oliver + s creations on project run & play

Hey there! If you're familiar with Project Run & Play, you know it’s like Project Runway, but for kids. Every week, young designers get to showcase their best outfits based on specific themes. This competition has been around for quite some time now, and Oliver + S is thrilled to keep being a part of it. Recently, they wrapped up Season 14, where a few designs featuring Oliver + S patterns were created by the contestants, and we thought you’d enjoy seeing them today.

First up, we have two School Bus T-shirts crafted by Elizabeth. Here she is:

I absolutely adore sewing the School Bus T-shirt pattern for my younger siblings because it comes in a variety of sizes! Plus, it’s super easy to tweak the design, which is exactly what I did for these Project Run and Play outfits.

For my little brother’s T-shirt, I didn’t plan to use color blocking, but I only had enough plaid knit for the front. So, I cut the front piece just below the armholes and added seam allowance. Then, I used the plaid fabric for the bottom half and a plain grey knit for the top part. It was such a simple modification, yet it allowed me to use up some leftover scraps from my fabric stash. Perfect, right?

Making my little sister’s shirt was so much fun! For the candy-inspired theme on Project Run and Play, I wanted to create something that represented peanut butter cups. I used a tan knit fabric and cut out all the pattern pieces as instructed. Before putting the shirt together, I cut strips of fabric to make ruffles and added them to the front. I layered the ruffles as I went along and secured them with topstitching. To add some variety, I varied the widths of the ruffles. I also added ruffles to the middle of each sleeve. After that, I assembled the shirt according to the pattern instructions. The ruffles were a small touch, but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Thanks for having me share these creations with you!

Now, let’s talk about another fantastic creation! This next piece really shows how versatile the Building Block Dress pattern can be. It was brought to life by Raphaëlle.

When I decided to turn the Building Block Dress into a shirt, I knew I needed it to be partly made from knit fabric for comfort. My daughter wouldn’t wear it otherwise! I began with the Building Block Dress bodice and sleeves since I trusted the fit and design. I changed the opening from the back to the front and added a button band. I extended the length of the bodice and shaped the sides to match my daughter’s waist and hip measurements. I also gave the bottom a shirttail hem. I split the back into two pieces at the armscye notches and widened the lower part by 2 inches to form a pleat. The sleeves were divided into three sections lengthwise and shortened by 2 inches to include cuffs. The entire shirt was constructed in a typical shirt-making style, complete with a bound placket on the sleeves. The back and underarm portions were made from jersey fabric, while the rest was done using lightweight cotton. The neckline was finished with bias strips.

Raphaëlle mentioned that she believes a similar style could also be achieved using the new Buttoned-Up Button-Down Shirt pattern. It might even be simpler for those who are hesitant about making significant modifications.

Thank you so much, ladies!
