Another Flashback

Howdy guys



I sewed up this flashback skinny tee a few weeks ago, you may have spotted it in the shorts post. I just hadnt gotten around to blogging about it, so here it is! :)



This tee is actually a size 4. I had intended it to be for Elijah.



The material is from an upcycled ladies tee. It was a boatneck tee and so I had no neckband to work with, so I cut it from the scraps I had left. But... because it doesn't have a lot of stretch, the neckband wouldn't go over Elijah's head!

Dana Made It Kids Shorts

Okay, now recently I have been sewing up a few simple items in an effort to try and catch up to my Make The Basics goal. I looked around for a simple shorts pattern and settled on the Dana Made It Kids Shorts.



I am really glad I chose them, Dana's pattern does not disappoint. Although very simple, it is exactly what I was looking for. 



This black pair was made from an old pair of jeans, purely as a test of the pattern. The back pockets were taken from a different pattern and turned out to be too small, but oh well. They are a straight size 4 and they are a great fit. I did change the hem seam allowance to fold 1" twice, so they are a tiny bit shorter.

Flashback Skinny Tees

Hello guys!

Are you all joining in on the KCW action? I thought it was a perfect time to make some basics!

First up are 3 Flashback Skinny Tees.



All three are up-cycles. This black and grey shirt was formerly my husbands. I bought it for him a long time ago but he never wore it, he is pretty fussy with shirts and complained that it was uncomfortable. I love it in this mini version! The back is a thicker stripe, I didn't get a picture so you will just have to take my word for it. ;)

Make The Basics - Tragedy That Inspires A Sewing Challenge

Make The Basics is a challenge that I am setting myself to sew the basics for my kids this upcoming summer season. Lets chat firstly though, why am I setting this challenge?
