S.W.A.P.

 

I am having a go at SWAP (Sewing with a Plan) this season, hoping to end up with a more co-ordinated wardrobe for my little people. The idea is to sew a number of items which can all be used as a collection, making choosing what to wear each morning an easy task.

I am aiming to do 5 items per child to co-ordinate with things that are already in their wardrobes.

Starting with Beth.

I picked a few items from her current wardrobe which I would like to use this winter.

MIP Cupcake Dress from the Make It Perfect Book and the gorgeous jumper Becky knitted in aid of the Queensland Flood appeal that I was lucky enough to be the winning bidder for, plus a pair of gap jeans for good measure.

Leggings and long sleeve T-shirt with cute denim dress that my mum sent (thanks mum for fitting in with our colour scheme so well :)).

Dortje trousers and Imke shirts that I made last year from Sewing Clothes Kids Love book

And I’m am hoping to make the following

1) Oliver and S Jump-Rope Dress, pretty floral lawn from Spotlight

2. Oliver and S Nature Walk Knit Pants in red velour (from an old pair of trousers)

3. Imke Shirt from Sewing Clothes Kids Love, Long sleeved version 

4. Champion Cargos from Make It Perfect book – in sunshine yellow cord

5. Make It Perfect Sprout Dress in Anna Maria Horner Flannel with plain lining.

 

I will try and get the pictures together for Hannah’s set tomorrow.
