KCWC 2011 day 2: PJ pants

A productive morning, so here's our KCWC update:  We got our bias binding, some ribbon and also managed to thrift a few pieces of fabric from the lady who runs the charity shop (there was a bag of fabric hidden in the back room which she let us rummage through). 

So while Little Miss had her nap I managed to finish off the dress from yesterday (a complete bodge job, but one I learned SO much from, so worth it) and also I have done as much as I can on a pair of PJ pants for My Boy - I will need to fit/measure them on him when he's home from school before I can finish them off. Again, I used an existing pair to cut around rather than following a pattern - nothing tremendous but the real lesson was in the making. They should have taken about 20 mins but I had to re-do one of the seams after not paying sufficient attention the first time so they took a bit longer. 



*Whispers* I have some pretty fabric to make a tunic top tomorrow and I am still a little scared to use it - wish me luck!

Oh and I almost forgot, there is a great round up featuring loads more patterns and tutes here if you fancy taking up the challenge.

  2. The dress is really cute, feels great to see you kids dressed in clothes that you have made with love- well done. Good luck with tomorrows top - its fun seeing what everyone else is making. Can recommend the Oliver & S patterns for easy and cute retro clothes - I made a red riding hood cape over past 2 days.
