I wasn’t as productive as I had hoped during summer KCW, but I did manage to finish a couple of outfits for each kid. Here are J’s:
Rocket ship tank with blue linen pants
Airplane tank with brown chambray pants
No new patterns or reviews here — when I sew for J, I pretty much stick to my TNT patterns anymore. He has fairly simple and predicable taste in clothes. Comfy t-shirts and tanks, loose, comfy pants or shorts … do you sense a theme?
KCW Day 3 — it’s almost half over! A week sounds like a long time, but boy that goes fast, especially when you have a long list of “needs” to make during that time.
Last night I finished J’s first pair of summer Parsley Pants. I love this pattern. Perfect fit, easy sew, good-looking finished product. The Clean Slate Pants are my go-to if I need traditional pockets and a zip fly, but when I want a quick pair of elastic waist pants, I inevitably reach for the Parsley Pants.
Summer pants — very useful in Kansas.
It’s not typical for me to have a finished garment this early during a KCW but I’m bucking my trend this time around! It helps that this dress for N went together really fast.
Modified Popover and a very happy girl!
Hey, hey, hey, it’s Kids Clothes Week!
Okay, so I’m not normally a person who gets all excited about sewing kids clothes, but for some reason I’m really psyched about it this time.
I’d like to think that I’ll blog my progress as I go this week and while I’ll try, let’s be real here. It probably won’t happen, at least not consistently. So if you’re interesting in following my KCW, come follow me on Instagram here (@kglee01).
I spent my first day of KCW prepping since I didn’t get around to it last week. As I started thinking about what to sew, I identified hole after hole in my kids’ wardrobe, particularly N’s. I won’t be able to fill all of them this week, but hopefully I can plug up a couple and maybe even carry a bit of my momentum into next week to address a few others.
