Random Things Sewn for Miss K

I have been sewing a few things up for K and thought I would just post them all in a lump before the month of March got away from me.

First up is Kwik Sew 3674 in size 12, but K is short so I took an inch out of bodice and sleeves.
Perhaps I should have left that inch in because this turned out short :)  You live and learn.
Luckily these are pajamas for a test run.   I'm still searching for a better tiered dress pattern for her to remake her owl dress.  There aren't many options in her size.


 Fabric: 2 yards mint flannel for $5 total, purchased from a Facebook group



Next up I made another Jalie 3355, same size and everything as the black polka dot one (width P, height M), This hood fits perfect and this sweatshirt fabric had stretch.  This is probably my new favorite pattern - I'm actually tracing out one for me finally!


Fabric main: Teal Sweatshirt fleece from Mill End in Aug 2013. 1 1/8 yard for $3.95
Fabric accents: Scrap pieces of Lillestoff "Hippie Days" omg, love this fabric and it is so hard to find (not to mention expensive) but I only had a few scrap pieces so I made the best use of them!




Miss K had Dr. Seuss week at school  a bit ago and I made her a skirt to go with the theme.
It is just a simple tiered skirt, no pattern used.


Fabrics were bought only 1 week before the skirt was needed from Fatquartershop.  Shipping was nice and fast so I was able to get it finished on time.  1/2 yard of each fabric was used for a total of $16.14. Blue bottom is: Celebrate Seuss Celebration Aqua Animal Circles, White middle is: Green Eggs and Ham White Alphabet Print, and yellow on top layer is: Celebrate Seuss Yellow Character Dots Cotton. This simple skirt was hit with both Miss K and her friends.

What a great end of March, too!  It is supposed to hit 73°F here today. I'm so excited to enjoy the warmth. Take care!

  1. I actually recognize the Seuss fabrics! My mom used several fabrics from the same line to make a baby quilt for us. Including the same ones in the bottom 2 tiers. Great clothes, I especially like the hoodie.

I just had 2 that K refused to wear, and a third that she said no to but I snuck into her drawer. hahahaha. I'm trying to work on some shorts before the warm weather sneaks up on me. Thanks Shirley!!
