KCWC: Autumn Outfit

September 27, 2010 By crafterhours 14 Comments

This is the last thing I made for the Kids Clothes Week Challenge.  Sorry I’m a day behind schedule in posting, but I had to skip last Friday due to uncooperative models :)
The pants are chocolate brown velveteen, made using Rae‘s Big Butt Baby Pants pattern (in case you haven’t bought it yet, do it now – it’s great!  They really fit well over P’s cloth diapers).  I added bias bound pockets to both sides.
The shirt is yet another variation on the versatile peasant shirt that you’ve seen so many times here before.  I just cut a slit at the front neckline (I used a small facing), added ties and a little patch.  I did go the extra mile and bind the wrist hems instead of doing an elastic casing though.  Oooooh, fancy!
The pockets are semi-fake.  They open at the top, not at the flap.  This way I didn’t have to do two layers, which would’ve been really bulky.
I just love the way this looks on P.  The velveteen will be perfect for the colder months, and though the soft floral cotton was only €5/meter, I think it looks like a Liberty print.  Gotta love that!

    I love them!! That pocket idea is some kind of genius! Patch pockets almost never lie flat anyway.

    Love the pocket idea! It’s nice to see how nice that pattern looks on a bigger child- not just teeny ones. Great little outfit.

    Love this one! Beautiful top. I’ve been making peasant dresses. I’m off to figure out how to change my pattern to a long sleeves top! Thanks!

    Oh, I really love that top!! I just made a dress from a pattern that I think could be adapted to have ties like yours; I’ll have to try it!

    You really have to stop! TOO many wonderful ideas for my piggy tail girl. Seeing yours in them makes me want to stay up all night and sew. It’s just not the season. Oh well. If you get tired of her clothes, you can always send them to us! BTW, I LOVE the brown. Very hip!

    so cute! I can’t believe how pretty you make each outfit. I can barely complete a single piece and then of course it never seems to match anything in their wardrobe! ugh. :)
