Each Fall, the search is on for ONE THING: “Fall Fabric”
Yep…..that “subtle fabric” that can “blend” into some perfect collegiate football attire, without screaming – “That’s a _____________ {insert blank} football fan!”
Paired with the fact our brother-in-law cheers for the in-state rival, we have to be STEALTH.
UNDERCOVER.
SECRETIVE.
We claim, “we sew….we choose.” And, thankfully, our nieces look GOOD in navy!
This year, after much looking, we found the perfect fabric at Girl Charlee.
Ummmmm, scratch that……. the ALMOST perfect fabric…..
You see, it was in KNIT!!! *Insert audible gasp here….
While we’d like to hold a “claim to fame” with sewing knits, we just don’t….plain and simple.
Still, a perfect fabric NEEDS to be sewn. So, sew we did….pairing it with a navy corduroy to complete the look!
We used the Oliver and S, Playtime Leggings {sz 2} and paired it with an Oliver and S, Hide and Seek Tunic {sz 18 – 24 mo}. This was our first time to sew the Hide and Seek Tunic, but definitely not our last…
We interfaced the “perfect KNIT fall fabric” to create piping, sleeve cuffs, and covered buttons.
The argyle-esque leggings CRACK. US. UP! Luckily, CL can completely rock the look and pull off such a bold statement!
So, it’s a little “louder” than we typically sew….but “fall fabric” has no bounds.
As for the big sister?? She has her own special outfit using the “fall fabric” that we’ll share in the days to come…. The verdict is still out if she likes it as much as CL did hers!!
*And, psst…we used another Oliver and S pattern not previously sewn by us on EA’s creation. Any guesses??
