Ah, Thursdays. My simply amazing, kid-free sewing afternoon, due to my awesome mother-in-law who takes my kids for "Grandma day". So I set up my machines, put The Killer's in the cd player and look at what I accomplished!
Last night before I sewed up the raglan for a twin, I also cut out one more for a twin and one for Jack. Again, the Oliver + s Field Trip Raglan.
Frankensteined size again, 12m chest, 2t length, 18m sleeve length.
For once I didn't lengthen the pattern! A straight up 4. Though I kind of did worry and make a plan in case it ended up too short, but it isn't:) When he saw it he said "Okay! This is the one I will wear tomorrow!" Good sign.
This is a modified flashback skinny tee, using the same modifications as last time, except instead of gathering the front I did a pleat. The back is still gathered.
The details blend in a little, it may not have been the best choice for this, but that's alright.
This is the back.
And then a white one, I think it will be tunic length... Can't remember how long I cut it, ha!
I have a few more shirts planned for the little girls, two for Jack (not that he needs more, but I am on a roll for him, and he usually gets skipped!) then Abby needs some. Seriously, the girl needs to grow, ha! She has been in the same size shirt for 2 years, so she has plenty in her closet, but they are starting to look pretty worn, so she will be getting some new shirts this fall too.
Cute, cute tops:) always love your fabric choices:)
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteAnother great round of tops! I love the idea of doing a pleat instead of gathers. How much extra do you add to the width of the lower panel?
ReplyDeleteOn my 12m, I added 2 1/2" on the fold, so 5 total. I added a pic to flickr:)
DeleteThanks! I'm never sure how much width to add to get the right amount for gathering.;)
DeleteOooh, especially loving your mods to the Flashback Skinny tee. I'm totally going to copy you! :-) I have also been eyeing the O+s pattern, especially those awesome cargos with reinforced knees ...
ReplyDeleteYou should! I have the pants drafted and waiting for the perfect fabric!
DeleteYou are on fire! Can't even begin to do a count of your output this week :-)
ReplyDeleteOut of necessity, all the kids need new shirts and I will be busy with the house next week!
DeleteWow,Brittney!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing is as cute as your little ones.
