The week of August 7th, sewing for my youngest two - aka the twins! Meredith received more than Kaitlyn but it is all good. The above top is a Deer and Doe Plantain Tee for Meredith. The fabric is a knit from My Fabric Designs.
I made another Plantain Tee for Meredith, again from My Fabric Designs knit.
Next another Scrub Top for Meredith, Simplicity 1020, made here first.
This one I made the outer pocket seam allowance too big, so the under pocket shows more than I like, but in this top I am calling it a design feature! Printed fabric is cotton from My Fabric Designs and the purple knit is from Joann's
Meredith has worn the other scrub top a couple of times and told me all the other nurses love it. Especially the knit sleeves, which Meredith says is very comfortable. Her co-workers asked if I would take orders. Meredith replied, "no, she just sews for her family." I taught her well!
I went into Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago for a pattern sale. I checked out the sale racks and found some fabric from $1 and $2 a yard. This is one of those fabrics and I made Meredith a Florence Kimono
I made the shortest length and I think she will really enjoy this one.
Last up is one top for Kaitlyn and she won't need it for a while,,,, any guesses why?
Yes, it is a maternity shirt, Megan Nielsen's Cara Maternity Shirt in a gray rayon knit from Mood Fabrics.
She won't need it for a couple of months but I had gray in the serger and I was excited, so I made it!
Great projects! I think I need to try that Plantain shirt. Also, congratulations to Kaitlyn!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, my girls like the Plantain, I prefer the Briar. The fit in the shoulders and arms is better for me with the Briar
DeleteLucky daughters!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I always say I am the lucky one.
DeleteLucky daughters & YES to the comment about sewing for others! Congrats on the new grandbaby!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all sorts of exciting around here.
DeleteCongratulations on the new grandbaby. They are so fun. We are up to 13 now and we enjoy every minute of it. The clothes are cute as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, wow, 13. Grandkids are so fun.
DeleteYou've been busy - great projects for the girls. Congrats on the news of a new grandbaby! I'm still waiting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joen, the grandkids are sure fun.
DeleteCongratulations on the new grandbaby! All the tops look great--lucky daughters!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, it is exciting news.
DeleteCongratulations and that maternity top will fit great. I made one for my daughter when she was pregnant as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I made that pattern for Erin and she really liked it. I thought I would go ahead and make it, seems like one day you wake up and nothing fits! That top will be good for that day.
DeleteLovely tops. Congratulations on the new grandbaby!
