It’s Day One of the Kids Clothes Week Challenge at Elsie Marley. Did you sew for an hour today? I actually sewed for more than that, and completed these two tops for Jamie.
I played around with a couple of different embellishment techniques on these. Both techniques are so easy to do! Up first is a Patrick Curved Raglan with this cute car applique. I drew the shapes up by hand and then followed my Easy Applique Tutorial to attach the shapes to the front of the top before sewing it.
Top number two is a Charlie Tee embellished with a dinosaur. This is actually the first time that I’ve done freezer paper stenciling, and it was a breeze! Just trace your image onto freezer paper, cut it out, iron the freezer paper to the fabric and paint. The hardest part is waiting for the paint to dry!
I’m really excited about getting as much done as possible on the boys’ summer wardrobe lists this week. With these two tops finished, I only need one more to be done with Jamie’s tops. His shorts list is still nearly empty, though. Shorts are definitely the plan for tomorrow!
Super duper cute! Off to review your embellishment technique – I’m sure curious and it looks fantastic.
Very cute! I especially love the dinosaur one!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing about the freezer paper stenciling. I’ve seen others doing it and have meant to look into how to do it. It sound easy enough that maybe even I could do it!
I’ve been meaning to try freezer paper stenciling and just haven’t done it yet. This is a prompting to get the supplies out and just do it! Very cute!
Great stuff and glad you stay heavy on the photos. Very inspiring.
