Kids Clothes Week:: Day 3

wow. i'm getting to this much later than i had anticipated. but i challenged myself to sew and blog about at least one item per day for this here little challenge. are there consequences for not doing this? no. will others feel let down if i don't post something? highly doubtful. would i be mad at myself for not holding up my end of the challenge? yes. wait, that doesn't make sense... does it? alright it's time for bed....

this is a tunic top that i made for zoe a while back, but never finished. i figured it was appropriate to use since my intention was for her to wear it last fall, but it turned out being a bit big on her then. and i hadn't finished any hems or added elastic. so i sat down and finished up the rest and sewed a little fabric squirrel button on the front left side. i just love me some little fabric critters, don't you?!

the pattern is from kitschy coo, which if you haven't heard about, you should go right over to her shop and buy all of her patterns!! they are great. affordable, easy to follow and versatile. she offers many options to most patterns and many of her items are reversible. this top, for example, calls for two thin rows of elastic at the top, but i used a 1" piece instead and like the mock turtleneck it created. it's a little mod this way and will be nice on a chilly fall day.

hope everyone is enjoying the challenge. thanks to everyone that has stopped in to comment and see what i've been up to over here!
