Meg is hosting yet another Kids Clothes Week Challenge next week, May 9-15. I participated for the first time last fall, and Turkey’s pants were one of the featured creations.
The stack above is waiting in anticipation to be whipped up into something fabulous, however considering I’ve sewn only once in the past two months, I’m a bit nervous to jump back on the wagon. That attitude seems lame though, so I’m planning to participate; whether or not that culminates in a finished garment is yet to be seen. Will you be participating?
Over the past week or so I’ve embroidered four lovely designs from Penguin & Fish. Oh I love these designs! So simple, over-the-top adorable, and the perfect small project to jump back into embroidery; a craft I’ve also been neglecting, but just adore. I hope to finish the project I’m working on soon and can’t wait to show it off. The patterns are definitely the most expensive that I’ve bought, so expect to see them used in more ways than one.

Beautiful embroidery!
I’m still trying to decide if I’m up for participating in KCWC. I love the idea, I love the concept, I love the motivation – but I’m just not sure if I’m up for it right now….hmmm, we’ll see.
Carolyn I couldn’t agree more. I cut out two pattern pieces for pants to get a head start and with all that pressing and whatnot it took the entire nap time and I seem to be much too wiped to do anything at the end of the day. We’ll see if that fabric stack gets whipped up into anything or stays put. Our cat thinks it makes a lovely bed.
Yay kcwc!! I’ve got high hopes and moderate expectations. I can’t wait to see what you make, especially with that super cute anchor fabric! I love that embroidery, I’ve really been wanting to do more of it. Seems like something I could do pool-side this summer, as long as the little one is sleeping or supervised, of course.

Embroidery is so rad. You can take it pretty much anywhere, though my favorite is to just park it on the couch and go at it while watching bad television.
You are amazing! That fox is just making me squeal with its cuteness.
Awesome links and thank you for including my rather humble attempt at the banjo! I hope it inspires someone to pick one up and have a go at it. This is one of the most exciting things I’ve done in a long time.
