KCW- Day 3 1920's Inspired Dress

Today I decided to sew something a little bit different. I have always been a fan of 1920's fashion and I wanted to sew something like this for my little girl.

I'm so exited about this dress, because I actually created the pattern for this dress. I used one of my daughter's shirts as reference and created the pattern. 

This dress is made of cream colored silk fabric, which is very light weight and soft. The bodice is fully lined. I added a front bib on the bodice, which is outlined with vintage ric-rac. The two black buttons on the front of the bib are also vintage (bought all this at thrift stores). 

The also features a drop waist, cap sleeves and a 2-tier ruffled skirt.

KCW-Summer Challenge Day 2- Vintage Style Jumper

So far it has been very challenging to finish sewing and taking pictures of the garment on time, but I'm finally done with the outfit for day 2.

This time I made a vintage style jumper for my little girl. I used the Simplicity pattern #2167  called "Child's Dresses and Hanger Cover".  I used a vintage table runner, I bought a thrift store a long time ago. I just fell in love with the embroidery on this table runner and I thought that it would look really cute in a girl's dress.

I really like the end result. I also added a white eyelet underskirt to give it more body to the skirt. On the bodice I used a Michael Miller fabric from the collection called "Children at play" and I used a couple of vintage buttons from my collection.

Kids Clothes Week Day 1!

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm sharing what I made for the first day of Kids Clothes Week -Summer edition.

I made a shirt for my 4 year old boy, using the BurdaStyle pattern called 09/2011 Boy's shirt #148 . I modified the pattern by removing the front bib, pintucks and collar. I only used biased tape to outline the neckline.  I also shortened the sleeves, to make it more summery.

The fabric I used for this shirt is called: Sail Away in Blue (From the Out to Sea Michael Miller Fabric s Collection).
