It's kid's clothes week challenge time. This year, I am participating. This all starts at the elsiemarley blog, linked above, and happens every year around this time. The goal is to spend an hour a day for 7 days in a row sewing only for kids. Sewing, not yarn work.
So, here is my first day's work. I finished up this skirt and applique top for my youngest daughter.
This is the Monkeysbug Festive skirt pattern, but I made it with elastic in the casings instead of ribbon. That was a bit of a challenge to do but I think it turned out cute. This is Riley Blake trick or treat fabric that I was gifted a year ago. The trim fabric is Black Mini Dot fabric. All from Treasure Bay on Etsy.
This top is a Picture of a Great Tee from Hanna Andersson. They don't make these anymore but occasionally I find them on Ebay. This was bought new off Ebay a year ago. Lucky me! These tops are thick and soft and wonderful. The applique pattern is from the Riley Blake website. They have a cute skirt and applique tutorial you can download. This was my first ever attempt at an applique using my Janome MC5200D. I had several stitches to choose from but liked #65 best.
