City shorts with some of my current favorite fabric, I also made myself a scout tee with it!
Grace loves these shorts and wears them whenever she has them! We left them at Grandma Terri's house and I had been looking for them. We were so happy when she sent them to us!
This is my first scout tee, a cool woven t-shirt pattern! I have some shot cotton here, it's very nice and soft, I also love the one with the above fabric, but don't have any pictures yet. I made the sleeves with the cotton-linen blend that is so very nice, but it needed some stitch reinforcing as it pulled out of the stitches with its first washing. I've reinforced it and hopefully it will hold now.
I inadvertently bought the same shot cotton for the dress/tunic for Grace below. It's from the Japanese sewing book "lesson Plan", and I made my big 5/almost 6 year old the 120 cm an it fits her like a sweet dress. These aren't the best pictures, but it looks very sweet on her.
and for O... after months of asking that I make him a "Sachel" by which he meant something a bit more like this bandoleer, I finally pulled something together and he loves it (though wishes it was a bit wider in the middle).
It has pockets on both sides and a water bottle holder at the bottom, and looks very cool. He is happy that my idea for pencil holders look like bullet holders.
and for another project... sun prints! We collected some big algae kelp during a weekday visit to pacific city, and then did some solar prints at home!
I thought they were wonderful fun, but the kids, in part because the dye is pretty stinky, had a shorter attention span for this project. Owen did make a wonderful dish towel.
everyone enjoyed the finished products!
