Art Gallery Fabrics asked me to create some projects with DARE by Pat Bravo lucky me! Once I saw the line, I knew I had to make some Christmas outfits for my 5 kids! I had not sewn with knit much before, so I got my mom to help me. My mom is a master seamstress. And she said at least a dozen times "this is such a good quality knit!...stretches both ways..." On and on! She loved it! I will have to make her a scarf out of the leftovers.
First up is my darling third daughter. This girl has grown in the last year. All her dresses and skirts were way too short.I made this fit below the knee. I attached it to a knit shirt from target. And now she has a nice knit dress that won't wrinkle for when she wants to sleep at grandmas or cousins. This knit is soft! I am sure she will wear out this dress!
Next up, a peter pan collar. My mom and I agreed, after Christmas we need to make like 600 of these. They are darling, easily dress up any outfit, and so easy to make. Love!
Next we have my darling 4th daughter. Isn't she sweet! I love this plaid peter pan collar. Just too sweet! She looked so fancy pants with this collar. Then I made her a long maxi skirt, because she just wanted to look a little grown up. She is a cutie!~
All these knit skirts, and Addies dress were made from a variety of pinterest tutorials. We didn't use any elastic, it is the knit material that is holding the waist in. These are going to be so nice to have, and not have to iron. I love when I can make them all matchy matchy.
For my second daughter, we went with a long maxi. She has a hard time finding things long and slim. So it was nice to make this a custom size. It is a really cute fit on her. This knit really lays nicely, and tightly where you want it too.
Now here is my fifth, our only boy. We adore him. Can you see why? I just made him a simple sweet tie.
Last but not least, our third born, McKenna. This little lady is a tall tall girl! 5"9 last we checked. I made her a pretty scarf, that I promptly took away after this photoshoot. its too pretty, and cute and soft! Now we will all share it.
I also made her skirt mid length. She too has too short of skirts for her long long legs. This goes right below her knees. And a simple white target top was all I needed to get to complete the look.
Now these cuties are ready for Christmas, and hopefully then I can snap a photo of all five together. We only have a couple hours of sunlight when they get home from school, and I never had them all home at the same time this week. Anyhow. I will get that pic!
Thanks Art Gallery Fabrics!!!
