It’s next week! I love the theme but, after Project Run & Play, I’m all themed out. So here was the plan:
- cape for souricette 2
- denim skirt for souricette 1
- 2 tees for souricette 1 (1 white, 1 navy)
And then, I had the brilliant idea to actually go through their wardrobes. These children need absolutely nothing. I could sew for myself for 6 months and they would be just fine. I revised the plan.
- cape for souricette 2
- 2 denim skirts, one for each of the girls
- 2 tees for souricette 1 (1 white, 1 navy)
- Christmas dress for souricette 1 (not likely to be done during KCW because the fabric I want isn’t out yet)
- mending
Say what? These girls have plenty and I just made my list longer?
The cape is actually for Halloween. I don’t sew the girls’ costumes. I like the idea of it but not the reality. I would spend gobs of money on the perfect fabric and weeks on the perfect costume. TO be worn all of a handful of time. No thank you. This year though, the girls want to be Elsa and Anna. I know, I know, how original. I thought, perfect. They have their dresses (bought online). All that’s missing is something to cover up if it’s cool out. Souricette 1 has this cape that should work:
So souricette 2 is getting one too. It’ll be a bit different but same pattern (Oliver + S, Little Things to Sew).
The denim skirts are not necessary exactly but nice to have. Souricette 2 likes to throw on a skirt and tee and I just had to put a few of her skirts in the donation pile. She could use one that goes with most of her tops. That butterfly denim will do. And then souricette 1 likes skirts too but most of them aren’t neutral in the least. What do you pair with a purple tee and sparkly blue tights? The only skirt I could find that sort of worked was a pink one. With flowers on it. Colorful. I realized she could use a neutral skirt too. And wouldn’t you know, there’s enough of that butterfly denim for her too! I’m thinking two Oliver + S sailboat skirts will do nicely…
The tees… I really wanted to remove them from the list. Souricette 2 has a metric crap ton of tees. None of which are quite right for her Lol swing top. If I can get one done, I’ll be happy.
The mending… There’s a hole in a cardigan I knit souricette 1. And she pulled on the appliqué on her Charlie dress. Holes in leggings that need patches… A skirt with a busted zip. Every KCW, I plan on mending. Every KCW, I don’t. I may save one day just for that.
I’ll be busy! I’m not sure a single hour per day will cut it…
