Kids Clothing Week – Day 1

Kids Clothing Week – Day 1

Kids Clothing Week seems to always come around at a time that is just not possible for me to be involved. I usually try to make at least one thing but the whole concept of ‘sew for one hour a day for 7 days for your kids’ is just lost on me with working 4 days a week, juggling basketball training, games, ballet or whatever else we have going on.

So this week I’m totally organised. Ok I may have cheated a little and made most (all!) of it ahead of time but I’ve at least tried, right?

Each day I will be sharing what I have created. All are basic, wardrobe staples as for me it was about maximising the number of clothes I could create (spending 30 minutes on some pjs or 3 hours on a dress???) and also I think Miss 5’s wardrobe will explode if I make another dress (I did though). I’m also forward planning so some items are for now and some for spring/summer which (hopefully) will be here before we know it!

Day 1 – Ananda Pants by Chopstix Patterns

So day one, I share another pair of Ananda pants. I blogged a pattern review back in May here. I made two pairs for Miss 5 as she really loves the fit of these.

Showing off the roll over waist.

She chose this material herself from my stash. It is one I picked up from an op shop (thrift store) along with a bunch of other fabric for about $10 so these pants probably cost me about $1. Bargain! I made a dress last year for her with this as well, so I hope she doesn’t try to wear them together as that would all be a bit too matchy matchy!

She does call them her ‘dancy pants’!

Are you joining in with Kids Clothing Week? I can’t wait to share all my creations with you.
