Orange Week Part 2

 Hello Readers. I really went wild for the color orange and made a top to go with my orange pants. I found this orange fabric at a thrift store months ago and it looked so fun and summery. Let's make a orange top. 

You can't have too much orange, right? I hope not because I had a good amount of this fabric.

I wanted a simple shirt and this pattern was perfect. The orange fabric is the star of the show here. I chose the pink top on the front of the pattern. This is Very Easy, Very Vogue 8062. (Spoiler- It was very easy.)

I cut out all my pieces and adjusted the length of the top by folding the paper pattern piece. 

I put the neck facings in place with clips. 

I used my serger to put all the pieces together. This was a fast sewing project. 

I turned the ends of the sleeves under and sewed a basic hem and I did the same with the hemline. 

This orange shirt was perfect for my orange pants, and it is so fun. And I still have some orange fabric left to make something else. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself. 

***Year End Update***- i can't be down with these fun clothes!

Valentine's Day Nightshirt

 Hello Readers. Valentine's Day is next week. I found this Valentine's Day theme fabric a month or 2 ago. It has super cute vintage looking Valentines all over it. It was a thin light weight fleece and I thought fleece would make a great night shirt. 

Before and after.

I like to hunt for fabric at Goodwill and that was where I found this fabric. It was pinned to some black fleece. I think someone was going to make a blanket. 

As with anything I buy, I washed it right away. 

 

 I got my pattern. I used Very Easy Very Vogue 8062. This shirt was very oversized and I thought it would make a great night shirt if I added to the length.

I played with the pattern pieces a little to see if I could fit my night shirt and a small pair of pajama pants. I thought I could. 

I cut out the pieces. 

I cut out the neck facing pieces. 

 

I started sewing, and it was a very simple project.

 

I put the right sides together and sewed the side seams and shoulders.

 

I added some decorative stitches at the neckline.

 

It looked kind of like this. 

 

It going to look like this when I am sleeping.

 

And the little pajama pants turned out great too. (This child model was paid with candy and extra TV time.) Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourselves. 

 

***Year End Update***- This light weight fleece was a great choice for winter. It's soft and warm. The kiddo pajama pants are still getting worn a lot too.
