Kid's Set

I was asked to make some items for an agriculture related fundraiser auction, so I did just that and had so much fun

The organization is putting together a basket for toddler age kids for the auction.  I was asked to make clothing pieces for this basket.  On the day I was asked to do this, I received an email from 

Urban Kids Fabric with a 20% off sale.  I found this cute bull fabric and thought it was perfect, with only 1/2 yard left in stock, I mixed it with this french terry and a matching rib knit.  

So excited for my find, I couldn't wait to start sewing and went with a 4T in all patterns.   I knew the featured garment was going to be the Altitude Pullover by Peek-a-Boo Patterns

I purchased a half yard of a black knit at Joann's for the piping and used that on the front of the sweatshirt along with adding "MOO" to the front.  I used mySewnet embroidery software for this  and here is the blog post specific to that technique.

Next up the shorts, Lowland Kids Boy's Shorts  For the faux drawstring, I cut the black knit at 1/2" wide and about 12 inches long.  Then I pulled it from each end  to get it to curl and look like a drawstring.

I couldn't resist adding this label from my Kylie and the Machine Advent Calendar, which I purchased from Style Maker Fabrics last December

With the smallest bit of bull fabric left, I used Brindille & Twig's Raglan Tee and pieced it with the solid French Terry.  It was just the perfect proportion for the front of the tee and I made the 3-4 size.

I am so happy with this set and hope some little person enjoys their new set.
