KCW - what day is it??

Saturday, October 26, 2013

So, I guess this is officially day 6 of Kids Clothes Week.  Somehow, a few days went past with NO sewing whatsoever.....

I jumped back in the saddle this morning after a failed attempt to go to work....oh, so sad, the freeway was closed, so I couldn't get on anywhere, and traffic was totally backed up....so, I made the command decision to turn around and spend some time at home! Good decision, I think!

I had completed a Oliver + S hopscotch earlier this week, and this morning was able to complete the matching top, and get some modeled shots from my fairly cooperative kid...I added a bit of lace between the neck binding and the top - I really like the look and will do it again, but next time will do a better job!!






I made a size 4 in both pieces....next time, I'm going to make a size 5 maybe in the top, and a size 3 in the skirt.  She's got a TON of room to grow in this skirt, in fact, she's now wearing the skirt below that is a size 2 - my goodness, she looks like such a baby in this picture!!!!!:
I'm still cranking away, hoping to complete one more thing by the end of KCW....we'll see!!!!

Rainbow Heart Applique Top

I made a Oliver + S Hopscotch top this weekend.  It started with this skirt:

For this skirt, I used an Oliver + S free download skirt - their Lazy Days Skirt.  Really easy, and it was a big success.

Since I still had a bunch of hearts already cut out, ready to be appliqued, I decided on a top.  Not to wear together, however, cause that would just be too much rainbow-ish hearts!

I used a pattern that I've used before - really easy by Oliver + S.  It's made for knits.  I used some old interlock for the body, and appliqued the hearts along the bottom.  I made sure to use stabilizer underneath - the secret to professional looking applique.

I love the results - and my daughter does too!!!:
