Happy Fall! I can't believe it has been over a month since I wrote a blog post. That wasn't my intention but sometimes life gets busy. There are no lack of projects to share but I just haven't had the motivation to post about them.
Today I am writing about 2 patterns for baby/children's clothing that I have tried recently. The first pattern is a pattern for pants called
Maxaloones by
Max and Meena Patterns. The pants have an extra piece in the bottom that makes them great for cloth diapered babies. They also have a belly band and leg bands that allow the pants to grow with the child by adjusting the bands. I made a couple of pairs for my friend's son. It was a pretty easy pattern to follow and they are really cute.
The navy jersey knit and fish interlock fabric both came from our local fabric store
Modern Textiles. The deer jersey knit is from
Girl Charlee Fabrics.
The next pattern is
The Eleanor Dress from
Shwin Designs. This pattern has several collar and sleeve options for the dress and also has a shirt option. The dress also has pockets which I love. I loved this pattern. It was easy to follow and turned out so cute. It was my first time using rib knit and the pattern gave really clear instructions on using it. I plan to make a few long sleeve shirts for her using this pattern in the near future.
The chevron fabric that I used was from
Girl Charlee Fabrics. The green and yellow chevron is no longer available but they have plenty more colors of chevron knits on their site. When I first saw this fabric I bought about 6 yards because it is the colors of my alma mater North Dakota State University. I also recently made another pair of
Baby Got Back Leggings with the same fabric.
Here she is sporting them at the rehearsal of the alumni band at homecoming a week and a half ago. I am not sure when or what I will post about next but I have no lack of options so keep checking back!
