Zonen 09: Charlie….AND Jacob… {by us, Frances Suzanne}


If this were Facebook, our status line would be, “Frances Suzanne is feeling accomplished.”

Zonen09Charlie&Jacob

While the voting continues for your favorite flip this month, we thought we’d share our rendition!

Ummm. . .well. . .of our non-flipped Zonen 09, Charlie.

Zonen09CharlieJacob8

Of course, since we only have nieces, we ‘flipped’ it for a girl.

Okay, okay…technically, we sewed the pattern ‘as is’ in a pinkish/red color and put it on a girl. . .

Zonen09CharlieJacob2

We loved the pattern in its original form (which is true of all the patterns we choose) and opted to sew it ‘as is’. Maybe it was adding the seam allowances and working with knits + a collar (which was a combination we’d never attempted), that we felt risky enough…and opted for sticking to the pattern!

While Mr. Knit and I still occasionally talk since our first date (all of your helpful comments really smoothed things over), it isn’t like our relationship is blossoming…

Zonen09CharlieJacob1

We chose to pair the Charlie, with the Zonen 09, Jacob pants and flip them. So, maybe we aren’t total ‘flip failures’.

Zonen09CharlieJacob11

It is safe to say that this pair of pants may very well be our favorite Zonen 09 pattern to date. LOVE THEM! They’ve got style with a bit of 70s vibe.

Zonen09CharlieJacob3

Our major ‘flip’ to the pattern {obviously} was shortening them into a pair of shorts.

Then, we added piping {of course}. If you are faithful follower, you know piping is our ‘go to’ for detailing, but sadly on these shorts it took away from the sleek angles of the pockets.

Zonen09CharlieJacob7

Finally, we placed an extra pocket on the back {one view has the pocket we placed on the back, positioned on the front}. The pocket flap had to be removed after we piped it….because it ended up looking like a hot dog bun. Seriously. In hindsight, the addition of a pocket on the back of the shorts might not have been the best option with the darts and tucks.

The shorts were an excellent fit on EA, and we can’t wait to sew them again – this time showcasing the angles of the original pattern. Gorgeous.

Zonen09CharlieJacob9

More importantly, our rising “tennis star” needs another pair to wear to the courts – sooner than our last trip {you can read more about that HERE}!!

Zonen09CharlieJacob12

EA LOVED the entire outing – from “challenging” her daddy to a tennis match, to watching her very pregnant momma showcase her mad tennis skills! This girl likes to “play the net”…and in a backwards fashion {if you have already deduced from the pictures}.

Zonen09CharlieJacob4

We are thrilled that our readers introduced us to such a lovely pattern company when the Zonen 09, Charlie was nominated as the June Flip this Pattern, and look forward to sewing many of Sharon’s patterns in the years to come. . .whether we have nephews or not!

I really like how the piping looks on the shorts, but I can understand wanting to retain the sharp angles. =) EA is darling! I love the color of the top too. =)

Love the retro look of the whole outfit! Way to ‘date’ Mr. Knit again…it really is a love/hate relationship for me to this day, so keep at it!

    I can’t believe you have a love/hate relationship with Mr. Knit… we may be doomed!!

Actually I think that the way the shorts turned out is perfect for a little girl. The soft and curving pockets are perfect for the girlie version of this outfit. Just adorable as always.

    Well, I hadn’t thought about it that way….but it might make it a tad more ‘girly’ now that you mention it!! Thanks!!
