Kaleidoscope Top - KCW Day 5

Kaleidoscope Top - KCW Day 5

Friday, January 31, 2014

See Kate Sew patterns are my new fave... I purchased 3 of them in prep for KCW and boy they did NOT disappoint! I fell in love with the Kaleidoscope Top the minute I laid eyes on it. That was quite a while ago and I'm so glad I finally bought it and put it to good use. *BTW, this sews up SUPER fast! At 7am this morning this shirt was just a big piece of fabric. By 9:45am, I had the shirt completed, the 2 kids and myself all dressed, fed, blog photos taken, necessities gathered up for a playdate and out the door.*

Recess Raglans x2 - KCW Winter 2014 - Day 1

For the first time ever, I'm truly participating in Kids Clothes Week! And WOW! It is FUN. Last week, I planned, printed patterns, chose fabrics and even cut out a few shirts. Three Recess Raglans were in the plans, and I managed to get all of those cut out, so those are the first to hit the machine this week.
