Every day - black and white T-shirt and capris

Last week I got to wear my own very comfortable cloths : knit T-shit and cotton pants. And it felt good.

The shirt was done a month ago or so and I got to wear it quite a lot already. I just love the print. It was a very easy construction just starting for an old one:

I just love it that is longer and I don't have to worry about showing something I wouldn't want to ... I used bias for the neck line and sleeve. I added some elastic and gathering to the sides:

The pants are the same as poppy pants except the length and the fabric. Th fabric is very nice woven cotton with some stretch.  The quality is lovely. I got it as a remnant for almost nothing.

Sew little, smile big... ( pants )

It is so nice to see this big smile wrapped in something nice that mommy made. I can never wish for a better modeling... It is not easy for me to sew for a boy. But I am trying. So here is my practice run. Easy knit pants and a blouse . I used ready to wear to trace the pattern.

The 1st two pair that I completed seemed a bit tight so I did what I usually do when I mess up.  I try to rethink and change the design to cover it up. Think time I cut the side and added some printed fabric stripe.

I really liked the result so I decided I will keep doing thins on purpose. I already did a black pair as well with a stripe of hearts:

And since hearts should not be alone for to long I also sew a heart blouse for him:

Maybe all this hearts are a bit girly but I have confidence that he is man enough to pull it off.

I like not to worry about this cloth when he plays or eats... and for that he can never have enough cloths. This knit pants closed in the overlock  sewing machine are so fast to make so I decided I should do more. So here is the stripe mini series:

I didn't like to pairs the same so I played with the stripes ( the fabric was double stretch ). 

I would still like to do so many more but we will see ...
