(Note: I definitely did not make the pants in the first image, but I made everything else!)
What a successful week! A big thanks to Meg at Elsie Marley for hosting the week. Check out my previous posts: Day 1 and 2, Day 3, and Day 4, 5 and 6.
For Day 7, I made another long-sleeve 90 minute shirt, this time matching the flat-front pants I made earlier in the week.
I decided to try my hand at machine applique while I was at it, with adding some simple squares - it turned out OK for a first attempt, but I think I need a lot more practice!
I think the green-striped pants and matching top look like pyjamas when worn together, so I think he'll be wearing them with other outfits.
I was also a bit worried that the first two 90-minute shirts were a bit snug around the belly, and over-compensated for the third one. Oh well, I'm sure he'll grow into it!
Finally, here's my little man's "Blue Steel" runway walk - maybe we'll make a male model out of him yet!
I've got a few more clothing projects for my son's winter wardrobe piled up in my sewing room, but I don't think I'll be rushing into it. I've got a heap of housework to catch up on! Plus, I'm feeling the pregnancy nesting urge coming on, so there might be a few homey projects on the way!
