So, I joined the Kids Clothes Week Challenge...
Sewing for one hour everyday for 7 days, focusing on kids clothes...
The guidelines say that cutting fabric and creating patterns counts toward your sewing time, so today during nap I...
Created patterns...
And cut fabric...
And cut fabric...
And cut fabric!!!
I also played with my fabric options and coordinated colors and patterns...
And in general made a big ole mess!
But now I have all of the pieces prepped to create what will be a puffed sleeve bubble romper, a navy blue polka dot peasant dress with buttery yellow polka dot pockets (very retro chic!), and a pair of dapper plaid cargo pants!!!
AND, that mess?
Now neatly organized into these two tubs, one for large fabric scraps, and one for small pieces!
I gotta say it took me longer than an hour to accomplish this miraculous prep and organization, but the kiddos blessed me with a longer than usual nap time!
Tomorrow the machine comes out and sewing begins in earnest!
Stay Tuned!
You'll have to let me know if you like this process - chunking the tasks so that you are doing all the prepping and cutting during one day, and then all the sewing on another day. It sounds good!
