KCW Day 3

I figured out the pocket situation...I read the pattern wrong the pattern was all wrong. Haha

The directions for the pockets are pretty vague and hard to follow. I will have to sit down with it again and really see where it all went wrong. To many pocket pieces cut out and too few directions? I made it work though. The opposite lower pocket turned out beautifully once I figured out what was the dilly-o.

At least they are starting to look like pants though.


Big - < hurt my eyes to look at > - pants.

They are like Dino-Vomit pants.












However it is not what we think, it's what the wearer wants, even if he is a slave driver 3 yr old.

Kids Clothes Week Day 2

Have you jumped on the bandwagon yet?? Aww, Come on everyone is doing it, it's not to late for you to get in on it:)

Day 2:

We've got pockets people!

Some were easy

...some not so much...

 




See how my pocket and the picture doesn't look the same??






 

The bottom portion of the pocket is way wider.
I checked to be sure that I had the right pieces AND that I traced the right top piece right and not too short. . . I would do something like that. . . but I didn't.

I'll keep trudging along and see if it turns out.






I hate being pressed for time and something like this happens.

Well, there's always tomorrow. 

   

Kids Clothes Week Day 1

So maybe you've heard of it?

 Maybe your even doing it??



Here is what I've got done on day 1:

 
 I am one of those people who do not cut the original patterns. While it does add to the sewing time I prefer it so that I can get the most stretch out of my patterns. For my own use, I can use multiple sizes off the same pattern. Secondly, so that if I give them away or sell them later there is no question of their completeness. 


I tried to add my work in progress on this project...but...it won't let me. I think that it is because the McCall's 6502 has not been added to their database. I'll have to try again later.
