I am so insanely proud of myself! I am officially caught up with my silly goals I have set for myself! Not only did I finish Millie’s pants today, but I also threw in a long sleeve raglan shirt for Quinn AND took pictures AND both kids were CRAZY photogenic amazing models!!
Just LOOK at this ridiculous pose!
I just LOVE how these pants turned out! I am also so very happy that they not only fit, but there is room to grow so we can enjoy them for a while!
Millie was enjoying the heck out of having pockets in her pants since the only pants she usually wears are leggings, which don’t usually have that feature.
As I said earlier, these pants are the Skinny Jeans from Peek a Boo pattern shop. I have always been intimidated by sewing actual pants, I figured there would be so many steps that I would feel overwhelmed. I really like immediate gratification!
But these actually came together quite easily for me! They have officially made me get over my fear! I have some other pant projects that have been sitting on my shelf that I will DEFINITELY tackle now!
Also as I said earlier, the amazing material was some goodness I picked up on my NYC fabric shopping trip and I just adore it! I really really really wish I had these pants in my size, lol! The shirt she is wearing is my lettuce hem tank, which Millie has thankfully taken a liking to :)
On to Quinn’s shirt!
I wanted to sew something fast and easy up that I know I love, so I whipped up an Oliver +S Raglan Tee. Again, more shopping trip fabric made up the stripy stuff on the front. I really went all out when I went there! The sleeves were actually cut from a pile of Jake’s old tees that I’ve been trying to dwindle down.
I love this pattern because it is SOOO easy to sew, like 20 minutes from cutting to finishing easy to sew! I did use my serger, which always speeds things up. That and it just seems to fit so perfectly.
Look at these perfectly matched stripes in the seams!!
Woohoo!
What an awesome job!
Thanks! I just love how they came out :)
