All done! I didn't have a chance to write about this yesterday. I have been participating in Elsie Marley's Kids Clothes Week Challenge, which means that I committed one hour (at least) each day to sewing clothes for MY kid.
It was so fun!
I finished just one little outfit for Arjun, but I am VERY proud of it! Lately, I have not been sewing anything other than knits, so these tiny pants were a challenge for me and I really learned a lot. I am so, so terrifically excited about topstitching that I am already planning more of these little shorts. They are so cute on my boy!
To summarize:
Arjun and I read a lot of books. A current favorite of both of ours is this one:
In which a little boy named Banjo chases his dinner all over town after it gets up and runs away. Banjo wears a shirt with a star on it in this book (and in this one - which we also love.)
I'll be making an orange sleeved star shirt next. With some non-matching blue corduroy shorts. Arjun likes to dress like the characters in his books.
Here's how Banjo looks in The Runaway Dinner:
And here's how Arjun looks dressed in his Banjo suit:
Thanks for the challenge and the motivation!
