Last month, Jess found some cute fabric in a charity shop, and asked Grandma to make her a dress or something. I explained there wasn't enough material for a dress. Liz suggested for a cushion for her bed. I had a small cushion pad in the stash, so whipped up a simple cover. Last week, the machine was out, and I decided I had just enough fabric left for a little pair of shorts. I used my M&S reward voucher to get a plain white teeshirt. Adding a tiny puppy motif on the sleeve produced a sweet pyjama set. I'm so pleased that Jess is already a keen supporter of CS, happily putting outgrown toys and clothes in the Donate Bag, and looking for books and bargains in the stores.
That is a cute outfit. I'm in awe of your skill. And Jess has some good instincts as that it great fabric. I love the little motif on the shirt.
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 I taught the girls at sewing club to make pj shorts, and use a motif from the fabric on a plain vest or teeshirt. It is a good intro to dressmaking, because the garment will be worn at home, so errors remain private. If you start with a dress o skirt and it goes horribly wrong, it will not be worn and your money will be wasted. Ps will email later 👍

DeleteWhat a lovely little set, so pretty. ❤️ It's good that Jess is already into charity shopping. There are far too many new things produced in the world, and so much choice of what is already available.
ReplyDeleteYou are right there
DeleteMost every little girl I know would adore those pj's. Made with love by grandma guarantees they will become favorites.

DeleteAnother beautiful make by Grandma. I thought it was a summer set-perhaps Jess will wear it as daywear in the warmer weather? Catriona
ReplyDeleteYes it would be good in the sunshine
DeleteSo clever of you to add those delightful finishing touches, the sleeve motif and the tiny bow !
ReplyDeleteJust perfect. JanF
Thank you Jan
DeleteSuper cute pyjamas for Jess and a lovely way to make that pretty fabric stretch in the best way. It is good that she is already learning the benefits of supporting CS.
ReplyDeleteBoth girls are thoughtful and generous. Rosie was busy explaining to some other children this evening why we were raising money for Ukraine
