So I made a few more figgy raglan shirts... but only one pictured yet, as it is now November and the kids still have a hard time giving up their summer clothes! I Love this fabric though, I bought the very last of what fabric.com had, so had to make the sleeves in a contrast navy blue (that I used to make a dress for myself too!).
I made the shirt much longer and traced the hem from another favorite dress. Then had just enough fabric to make a sweet little kangaroo pouch For the hem, I tried to just use some of the blue, but with the curved hem it pulls a little bit funny, it got better with washing, but still, something to work on.
and... and she actually wears it! I made a similar shirt... raglan, cut dress length but no pocket (mistake really) I love wearing it though it is a little sack like, though super comfortable! When we had the indigo vat this summer, I dumped two skeins of rope into them and really let them soak. Owen and I finally pulled together these two baskets. One to corral our magazines that get stashed everywhere and one to sort of hold the games.
oh and this one. a Basil Fox for Leslie's little guy Harrison. He had to have black 'cause it's leslie, but I kept it a bit off the monochromatic 'cause I think they are super cute in the little pendeltonesque flannels.
Finally, for today, you can't really see it all that well, but a cute tank that I made Grace this summer that she NEVER wore in spite of the awesome unicorn in a garden pattern and cool breezy feel. Never that is until 1 November after a torrentially rainy halloween (though in her defense it's cool, but it's not all that cold out now. ) It has butterfly sleeves a cross over and tie back and a ruffle hem.
