Jumping into Kids Clothes Week Challenge with Elsie Marley, you’re doing it, right?
Hope it doesn’t bore you, but I had made another version of my bias trimmed cardigan tutorial for Natalie. I desperately wanted to use this little tiny floral trim I had swapped with Adrianne of Crafterhours. It was perfect, who doesn’t love pre-made bias tape?! I’ll take it!
This was actually the first cardigan I made, so it’s a smidge different than the tutorial – just added pleats to the tops of the shoulders because I had cut it way too big.
The other things I made, did you notice? The little shot cotton skirts (even though it looks like chambray) to go with their cardigans. It was last minute, but then, a simple gathered skirt doesn’t take any time at all, maybe I’ll go through my whole fabric stash and make a million skirts, maybe not. Anywho, I whipped them up as quick as I could. Came in pretty handy that I had finally written the girls’ measurements down using this Child Measurement Chart from Owly Baby.
I added a couple little pintucks at the bottom of Natalie’s skirt, I think they’re divine.
Hope to get at least one more project done for KCWC! I’d better hop to it!
oh, the tiny floral bias tape is an adorable touch on the cardigan… there are so many possibilities with this cardigan
Pintucks rock. Just sayin’.
I love the pintucks! One day I will learn how to do them. I missed the start of kcwc but have sewn up a little coat for Ansley’s friend and cut out a pattern for another coat for another one of her friends. 🙂
ohhh, those little pintucks!! and that child measurement chart is awesome, thanks for the link!
the pintucks are divine! Great idea!
Love the pintucks, and I’ve pinned your tutorial for later use…
You’re just the sweetest mom! Lucky lucky girls!
hey, I recognize that trim 🙂 I’m glad you were able to put it to use, and for such a cute outfit too. Those skirts are perfect.
These cardigans are so wonderful! Little girls have so many cute options when it comes to clothes. Have a wonderful weekend!
I was getting through my KCWC list when I saw your little cardigans and had to add them! Hopefully I’ll get to try it on the weekend. Thanks!
