Selfish Sewing Week

Sunday, March 22, 2015

My daughter and I just returned from a few days away visiting some dear friends in Kansas.  It was such a lovely time!  Before we left though I did participate in selfish sewing week.  Selfish sewing week is a challenge hosted by Indie Sew, Kollabora, and Imagine Gnats.  

Here are 3 of the 4 pieces I made for myself.


The first here is a pair of Hudson Pants made out of a Hello Bear knit.  First of all this pattern is pretty amazing.  They come together in a flash.  I used my serger for almost the whole pair.  I did leave off the drawstring.  These pants have been perfect for pjs and lounging around the house.  The only modification I made was to make the ankle band just a touch smaller (I have really small bony ankles).  There is definitely a mini pair of these in the works for my daughter!

Next I made two Sailor Tops by Fancy Tiger Crafts.  I used two fabrics that I have had stashed for a while now.  A Cotton + Steel lawn and Nani Iro double gauze.  The lawn was intended for an Emery Dress but when I pre-washed my fabric I must've had something in there that bled. I was able to cut around and get this top though.


Thanks for stopping by!! And have a great weekend!
