Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 10

This weeks challenge: Charity
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

I took Parker to the fabric shop with me a few weeks ago and he picked out this cute bulldog fabric, I have been trying to decide what to make with it. I finally decided to use it as the cuffs and pockets on some denim Star Shorts.

I made these using the Hunter Style without the cargo pockets and the full elastic waistband. These are great as everyday shorts and I find by making them in denim the boys get a lot of wear out of them.

If I am making something for one of the boys I try to make the another one at the same time so they both get something and they match too. I think they sew up a lot faster too when I’m making more than one at the same time.

How cute are these labels?! Parker likes to dress himself now but struggles when there isn’t an obvious tag to let him know which is the back. I got this one from Kylie and the Machine, and love the finished look they add to my makes.

Happy Sewing
xx Gail

52 Week Sewing Challenge – 3 Months In

Wow! I can’t believe we are almost half way through April already. That also means we have finished the first 13 Weeks of the 52 Week sewing challenge so I thought it was time to recap what has been sewn so far this year. When I started this challenge I was hoping it would be a way to encourage me to sew something each week, so far this has been the case. It’s really great to look at the below images together. It’s not too late to join in, you can find the challenge group on facebook here.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 4

This weeks Challenge: Something for a Boy (Accepted)

This weeks theme was perfect for me with two crazy little boy monsters in our house, plus I had been meaning to sew them some Australia Day pants for awhile now. I’ve been on the look out for Australian flag fabric for ages to make these pants but couldn’t find it anywhere. Guess what I saw in the shop the day after I finished them!

I found this cute kangaroo print though that is perfect for Australia Day pants and means they can be worn more often than the flag fabric could have anyway. I chose to make the Star Shorts in the Hunter version.  (Top right in this photo) I chose to leave the pocket out, my boys both love pockets but my washing machine probably can’t handle washing any more of the rocks they like to hide in them.

I also chose to use the full elastic waist band from the scooter shorts.

The grey pair are size 7 and the blue pair are size 3. I’m excited for the boys to wear these for our family BBQ on Australia Day.

 

Happy Sewing xx
