Another KCW is upon us (or as Caroline refers to it, “Neglect Your Household Week”), and I am jumping right in. My plan this week is to sew things I know my kids will wear. Comfy, practical stuff. I spent a few hours this weekend cutting fabric and setting aside patterns. You know, gathering my Mise en Place.
Up first is a flashback tee for Corinne in some incredibly soft brushed knit, size 2T.
GRANT PHOTOBOMB! (he reeeeally wanted to take a “bwog” photo too. hehe.)
GREAT pattern. This would be the first time making this pattern using yardage… the past couple of times I sort of cheated by using my husband’s old shirts and keeping the existing hems. This time around, I put it all together with the serger, and then switched to my sewing machine with a walking foot and zigzag stitch to hem the bottom and to attach the neckband (which came out hella perfect if you don’t mind me sayin’). I might break out my twin needle sometime this week, but I do like that walking foot/zigzag combo. So what if it isn’t totally profesh!?
Also, I would like an entire wardrobe made out of this fabric. It’s fabulous stuff, I tell you.
See you tomorrow!

(p.s. Caroline is busy this week making NINE little minion outfits for Jet’s Despicable Me-themed Birthday party this week! Good Mama right there…)

Congratulations, you are now a Flashback addict. Sweet print.
So cute! Long sleeved comfy shirts for girl toddlers…why do I never seem to have enough? I swear I wash the two turtle necks and four boy-styled long sleeve t-shirts my girl wears EVERY week. Love the idea of making her some warm, cute ones!
Adorbs! Corinne is getting so big! Twin needle, walking foot, you’re too fancy for me, girl! 😉
I love the fabric! Awesome sewing job. The walking foot and zigzag is brilliant.
