KCW make #2: PJ Bottoms

KCWC

The second of my Kids Clothes Week makes was a pair of pyjama bottoms.

I was testing this pattern for a friend who designed it. It is available for free on her blog Sew Jereli in sizes 18 months-5 years.

I made mine in dinosaur print flannelette. They were lovely and quick to make, and I managed to make them from cutting out the pattern to finishing sewing in an afternoon.

As you can see, they’re well-liked – it’s nice to have an enthusiastic model! 🙂

KCW make #1: Baby Dress

KCWC

 

Last week was Kids Clothes Week. I didn’t manage an hour of sewing every day but did more on some days so probably averaged an hour a day over the week. I knew that I wouldn’t get everything finished that I wanted to make but I did finish two items and make a start on two others (that will get finished eventually!)

My first make was a baby dress. I figured if I started with the smallest item on the list I was sure to at least finish something! This dress is a size 0-3 months and is made from a tie dye Diva pattern. I used this pink elephant fabric that was left over from making something else and so has been hanging about in the cupboard for a long time. It is lined in plain pink cotton and has pink snaps on the shoulder pieces for fastening.

I think it looks very cute!
