Sew What! Day 7...

Labels: clothing, girl, kids clothes week, sewing, vintage, vintage buttons, vintage pattern

Well today is the last day of kid clothes week, and I determined to push through... finishing my third outfit for the week! Wow! I feel so productive this week... Not only did my daughter get some new Fall clothes, but I only used things I already had (some for years!)... so it did not cost me anymore out of pocket. It pays sometimes to be a hoarder (he he he). So here is the last outfit, and a review of what I did this week...

The shirt...

Vintage buttons add a nice touch... and I love the rolled cuff with a tab...

These are simple leggings... but I gathered the side...

Here are all three outfits on Violet...

Outfit #1 Dress trimmed with Ric rack and ribbon...

Outfit #2 Ruffled top... skirt with pockets...

Outfit #3 Tunic top... and gathered legging...

Thanks for following me this week, and your support... Kids clothes week was fun! I will definitely do it again... Even though this challenge has come to a close... check back in with me soon, because I'm always up to something...

Sew What! Day 6...

Labels: bits of envy, clothing, girl, kids clothes week, vintage

Well day 6 is here for kids clothes week, and I did not get as much done as I hoped... Here is the progress I've made so far on the top...

Not to far along... but, I think tomorrow will go much faster...

Part of what took so long, was the print

I was using...

I had to make sure I lined it up properly...

Also, all of the flower print pieces had to be faced and top stitched....

Well... that was what my hour was spent on today. Here's to more progress tomorrow! I hope to complete this shirt! How are your projects coming along? Happy Sewing!
