KCWC: Fail

One of Benjamin's expressions lately is "What a fail!"  He says it to himself or someone else.  Today I'm using it for Kid's Clothes Week Challenge.  "What a fail!"  I sewed one thing.  And cut out a few others.  I was feeling utterly human last week with a sore shoulder and an inability to sleep more than 4 hours per night.

But, I got my shoulder fixed up (kind of) with a steroid shot into it and I've had two good nights sleep in a row.  (If you've ever dealt with insomnia you understand me, if not, then you think I'm a whiner.  I'm trying not to care what people think of me.)  So today I decided to do the basics around the house and the rest of the time I spent in my sewing room.  And it was lovely!

I actually sewed up 5 pieces for Carolin today.  Three pairs of leggings, a shirt and a skirt.  I'll show the outfit tomorrow.

Carolin is super skinny scrawny slim so not a lot fits her.  She likes skirts but hates tights.  So I thought I'd make a pile of leggings to go with her skirts.  I had all of these knits in my stash (some for a long time) so I'm calling these free.  This is the second pair I made so I made them even slimmer than the first one.

For the pattern I used a pair that she had a hole in the knee.  I really liked the fit on her so I just cut them up and used it for the pattern, adding seam allowances.  Very easy!


I'll be back tomorrow with the other three pieces I sewed today!  Thanks for reading!
