2014 Summer Kids Clothes Week: Day Seven

The final day is the wrap dress for Sarah.  I also altered her dress to be an actual wrap dress.

2014 Summer Kids Clothes Week: Day Six

This day brings a wrap dress for Emily.  I altered the pattern to actually be a wrap dress.  The pattern had a zipper in the back and the wrap was sewn down.

And now, the matching shirt for Sarah to go with her tier skirt. ☺

2014 Summer Kids Clothes Week: Day Four

My next project was a shirt for Emily to go with her tier skirt.  This is also from "Simplicity 4206:  Sewing for Dummies".

Next is a matching tier skirt for Sarah in her favorite color, blue.  This is also from "Simplicity 4206:  Sewing Patterns for Dummies", but I had to make a bigger size since my pattern didn't go big enough.

2014 Summer Kids Clothes Week: Day Two

The piece for today is a simple tier skirt for Emily in pink, her favorite color. ☺This is from "Simplicity 4206:  Sewing Patterns for Dummies".  It had a lot of instructions on just how to sew (since it's a 'for Dummies' pattern) that I had to skip.

2014 Summer Kids Clothes Week: Day One

I started out Kids Clothes Week with a simple pair of shorts for Sarah that was already cut out.

Since Sarah ended up with an "extra" dress from doing the trial run dress, I made a similar dress for Emily as well.

Today I finished the last of the kids' Easter clothes (leaving only my dress to go).  Today, was Sarah's turn.

Today was the day to make Will's Easter shirt.  Same as Andy's, just bigger ☺

Kids Clothes Week Spring 2014: Day Four

For Day 4, I did Andy's Easter shirt.

Kids Clothes Week Spring 2014: Day Three

I sewed Emily's Easter dress today.  I figured if something came up and I couldn't get to the other dresses, at least Sarah and I had ones that I'd just sewn (to check the sizes), so I did Emi's dress. ☺

Kids Clothes Week Spring 2014: Day Two

Today I cut out the pieces for everyone's Easter outfits.  By cutting out the girls' and my dresses at the same time, I used 5 yards instead of the 6 yards that the patterns said I'd need total.  I had gotten 7 yards of fabric since I didn't know at the time what pattern I'd be using, so now I have 2 yards of fabric to make something else.

Kids Clothes Week Spring 2014: Day One

This week is the Spring version of the Kids Clothes Week and I figured it was perfect for working on Easter clothes!  Based on the pattern envelope, both girls needed a size that was smaller than they normally wear.  So I decided I'd make the size I thought I needed for Sarah in a different fabric as a trial run.  If it was too small, then it could be for Emily!  It turned out that it did fit Sarah.  I used the size 8 pattern but with the length of the size 12.

Winter 2014 Kids Clothes Week: Day 7

The final day of KCW brings the pair of pants for Andy.

How they started out (cut off legs of a man's pair of pants)

Winter 2014 Kids Clothes Week: Day 6

The last pair of pants for William is this large cord brown corduroy.  It is done the same as the pants from Day 4 (except the top stitching on the side pockets) but this is a cord versus a dress pant.

Winter 2014 Kids Clothes Week: Day 5

Today's project was a pair of jeans.  These were a little more time consuming!

Fake fly and fake belt loops

Winter 2014 Kids Clothes Week: Day 4

Up today, a dress pair of pants made from the cut off part of an adult pair of pants.  (I used the hem from the original pants)

And yes, once again, single digit temps and no shirt!
