KCWC: Day 7, the Final Day

Well that was exhausting!

 

 

Another pair of pants for Nu.

 

And then I cut a shirt for Pu,

it became clear that since it was jersey

 it was MASSIVE.

 

So for a brief second I thought it was for me...

 

Alas, boobs.

 

The shirt won't lie

 

A little more elastic

and then it's into rotation for the shorties.

 

It's mildly sorrowful, because I only had the tiniest

part of the bottom beautiful Japanese fabric.

 

It was one miiiiiiiiillion dollars

(and, I'm just cheap on a Wednesday)

 

Sewing, shooting photos, blogging,

uploading to Pinterest and Flicker,

and learning these platforms simultaneously.

 

I'm sleepy now.

But, that was fun.

 

Thanks Elsie Marley!

KCWC Day 6

More pockets please mum?

 

 

She may have even used that face.

(It looks like someone stole her puppy)

 

 

Well...

 

her puppy is fine.

 

So are her pants!

 

However,

this little girl is busy racing through life,

not photographs.

 

Late at night, too late,

I scrawled "little girl you rock"

 with free motion script.

 

 

It pretty much looks like a serial killer wrote it,

drunk.

 

No points for penmanship.

 

Definite points for last minute dash to

the imaginary finish line in my head.

 

Long may you rock!



KCWC: Day 5. Would you like some fries with that shake?

 Oh she looks innocent enough...

but this bootie is on the move.

Up the stairs any chance she gets.

She has a little buddy who need his can

covered too.

I built in some permanent pocket pals...

which made for an unruly 'photo shoot'.

( more like a photo fling)

I guess it was a little odd that I de-panted her.

But she's used to a little odd.

She's got me after all.



KCWC Day 3 : More tops baby.

As part of KCWC I whipped off another top.

It has become clear (again) that Pu will no longer

conform to my sewing will.



So Nu and Yu will have to be my sewing victims.

The dress I posted this week, will unlikely be worn again.

(DRAMATIC sigh)

So, deeply in love with the material,

I added it to this shirt for Nu.

Perfect beach combing attire.

KCWC Day 3: Oh sweet girl, you are awesome.

Another top for KCWC!

Though Pu is our model,

she won't wear this.

So it's for Nu, who couldn't care less.

I added a little embroidery and free motion message

along the hem.

"oh sweet girl

you are awesome!"

KCWC Fall 2012: Day 2 Echino Dress

Made this at the beginning of the week,
but forgot to post it :)

  

It's been busy in my land of stitch & shorties.
 

 

I love the Echino fabric sooo...

 

And instead of hoarding it forever as

part of KCWC

 

I decided to dig in.

 

And then I couldn't help add a little

vintage lace, and a button to hide my

last minute additions mis-stitches.

 

Pu, the reluctant model

 

 

wore the dress,

and as evidenced above spilled food on it.

 

Now if only I can get her to do it again! 

 



KCWC Fall 2012: Day 1

KIDS CLOTHING WEEK CHALLENGE BEGINS

Sew for one hour, everyday for 7 days.

In celebration of KCWC fall 2012 over at

Elsie Marley's

I'm cutting.

And sewing.

And snapping.

And slapping...things up on the blog.

Threads are dangling,



photos are blurry,

And wiggly girls

need

 new pants.

to wiggle in.

Rock the walk little woolly butt

I thrifted and then felted a sweater long ago

and made little pantaloons for YU.

 

 

But then Yu grew.

And, the pants got shrunk, and eventually lost.

 

So, I returned to the rest of the sweater.

 

and hacked it up again.

 

Woolly and stripes.

What a happy combination.

 

 

On this shorty who's getting taller.

Almost walking, but not yet today.

 

Any minute...

 and then the extra butt cushion

will be rockin'.
