Sewing Challenge 2022 – Week 4

This weeks challenge: Sunshine
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Wow, it’s Week 4 already and January is nearly over, I’m not sure when that happened. When I saw the challenge for this week was Sunshine, I knew I had the perfect fabric in my stash to use. I love the colours in this print so much.

It’s probably no surprise that I went with some cute Sprouts Twigs this week, it’s definitely one of my favourite sews when I’m looking for something that sews up quickly ( under 20 mins from start to finish) and I love that I can make them completely on the overlocker.

They looked so cute once they were finished that I decided to make a matching beanie.

How are you going with the challenge so far? I have been loving seeing all the amazing creations each week in The Aussie 52 Week Sewing Challenge Group. It’s so interesting to see all the different ways people are interpreting the challenges.

Happy Sewing

This weeks challenge: Upcycle
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

Oh my! I am in love with this fabric. I ordered it for a special project which you can read more about next week but I just couldn’t wait to cut into it and make something.

I was looking for a super quick make that I could fit in before picking the kids up from school, the Super Suit was the perfect choice, it sews up super quickly and looks great.

And just because at this point it’s almost expected that I make some Sprouts or maybe just because I was loving the way this solid looked I quickly made up some Twigs to match.

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 29

This weeks challenge: Woven
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

So it’s probably no surprise that I made Sprouts Twigs again this week, Mr 5 found this crazy bright rainbow cotton lycra on our recent trip to Spotlight and wasn’t letting me leave the shop without it.

He also told me exactly what I was going to make for him and was entirely unimpressed when he woke up the next morning and his new pants weren’t waiting beside the sewing machine. (Cue the massive mum guilt)

After seeing how sad he was I made sure to get them made for him the next night, these are so quick to sew I managed to get a pair sewn up for my nephew too.

I didn’t love this fabric in the shop but once I saw it was sewn up into Sprouts I think I’ve changed my mind, I have a small bit of this fabric left and haven’t decided what to make with it yet so keep an eye out on my future makes.

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 28

This weeks challenge: Book Week
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Book week has been moved to October this year, but a few weeks ago we had simultaneous story time, you can read about it here. Mr 4’s daycare had a dress up day that was themed “Dress up like a Diva”.

We went to the fabric shop especially for him to choose the fabrics he wanted for this costume and he was so excited when we found the sparkly stars and even more excited when he found the gold lamé for the crown.

Mr 4 has so many pairs of Sprouts pants like these because they are my go to for dress up days, they are super quick and easy to make and can be sewn completely on the overlocker.

For the crown I used the Bunny Bucket Crown with optional elastic, which means it also fits Mr 10 too much to my little guys upset.

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 21

This weeks challenge: Winter is Coming
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

So this week I made more Sprouts! Surprise. They really are the best for winter pants for Mr 4 to wear to daycare to keep warm and still be able to run around and play easily.

The Sprouts pattern is one of my favourites because it’s super versatile and has options for boys and girls. These are the Twigs option, I love the cuff because it means they can e a little too long but still stay up and that way the kids get a bit of extra wear out of them before they are too short.

I love both of these fabrics as they are dark so hopefully when they get dirty it won’t be as noticeable. I got both these fabrics from Obsessed by Fabric in late 2018, but she has now closed.

Parker was so excited when I gave him both of these this week and can’t wait to show his friends at Kindy.

This weeks challenge: 1m Fabric Only
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

I found this amazing dinosaur cotton spandex at Spotlight and was super excited because they usually have a pretty limited choice in the cotton spandex range.

Parker still needs some more winter pants so it was an easy choice to make some more Sprouts Twigs for him this week. I decided to make a matching pair for my nephew and a hybrid bib to go with them.

I still have some ore left that I will most likely use to make some jocks for the big kidlet, he has been asking for some more mum made jocks for awhile.
