{Kids Clothes Week} Day 7

Yippeee, we are at day 7, I must say, my house hasn't become the bomb site that I was expecting it too.  I must have made time somewhere this week to do some housework...not folding though, haha, I've folded once this week, and am presently looking at another MOUNTAIN that needs to be folded or I won't have any nappies for Portia tomorrow!!!

I have really enjoyed sewing for my kids this week.  I do it anyway but this h ad given me the push (not that I needed it) to make something for them, and to think about the things that they needed.

Day 7

Pattern: My newly released Rock Star Raglan

Size: 4 (Elijah - hes done quite well out of KCW this season)

Fabric: Repurposed t-shirts my husband didn't want anymore. (read that as wife went through drawers and pulled out all the t-shirt and said "you havn't worn this in 10 years!!!")

I started off with 6 different t-shirts and mix and matched the panels, front/backs and sleeves.

I made long sleeves as we are moving into winter in New Zealand.

This is what I ended up with.  The only extra piece of fabric that I needed to use (every other piece was recycled) was the blue ribbing for the neck of the shirt on the left.

Elijah was NOT keen on the Blink 182 one to begin with, aparantly he doesn't like rabbits!!! since when.  But when I told him it was the Easter Bunny, he was more than happy to put it on!!

This t-shirt is a Trademe t-shirt, Trademe is the New Zealand equivilant of Ebay.

This t-shirt was dubbed the "kiwi" one and now has feijoa juice all down the front..

This next t-shirt is a mash between a Parachute Festival and a Microsoft.  My husband is an IT manager and has heaps of "product" t-shirts.  This one was a nice shade of green which matched nicely with the grass in the Parachute T-shirt.

As you can see, he rather likes this one.

I've had fun joining in with KCW
