I got sick of all those PJs that I had to break the monotony of it all and sew up a suit for KR. Although she has lot of hand me downs from Arianna, I always feel that each child should have something of their own – something that they can say, “Mummy sewed this for me.” instead of thinking that all they get is old clothes from the elder siblings.

I sewed this in size 86 and it is big on KR….I havent got a modelled shot yet but she has tried in on and I can easily get a few seasons out of it which is excellent! Instead of following instructions and use either jersey or cor fabric, I used cotton interlock instead and I don’t think it turned out THAT nice although in general, it turned out not too bad. Just not 100% happy with it.

I had loads of issues with the instructions! I spent some 45 minutes reading and RE-reading the instructions just to understand it and yet, I totally skipped some parts and made up my own coz I just couldn’t figure it out!! >.< Sometimes, my brains just don't function well enough. Ps. I used the ric rac Aida gave me. Thanks dear!! And the interlock fabric was from a destash sale.

And to compliment the top/dress, I made these leggings. These were super easy and fast too! This too is a wee bit long which is always good. This was the first time I ever used Stella fabric and it’s such a dream to sew with!!! I’ve been putting off cutting this fabric coz I was so afraid I’d ruin it (Tis a little pricey for my pocket so I’m very cautious of using pricey fabric). It’s a gorgeous knit and so easy to sew with despite the elasticity. Will definitely get more of this when it goes on sale from CM next time.

TFL!!
