Kids Clothes Week Challenge, Take Due.
To go along with those foxy pocket pants, I stitched up a little raw-edge raglan T, complete with an embroidered fox.
This is the second time that I have stitched this embroidery design, and I continue to be head over heels in love with it. I can’t freaking stand how adorable it is. I mean, come on. It looks like it belongs in The Chronicles of Narnia
As for the T, I used a lightweight jersey and had to take 8,000 breaks in order to curb my frustration. I was pretty much Incredible Hulking-out about it. It curled so much that pressing the seams was futile, I had to re-cut and re-sew the neckband twice, and even though I swear I adhered to the 3/8″ seam allowance, the under arms are pretty wonky. I’ve used this pattern twice before with minimal issue but this time the only thing that saved me was Wonder Tape
Thankfully, it’s still insanely adorable, especially paired with those striped sweater pants. I was able to inspect the whole ensemble in great detail (nearly an hour to be exact) when I locked my son and my keys in my car yesterday. Oh fun times.
What are you working on?
Pattern: Tee for Two by Patterns by Figgy’s via Sew Mama Sew! (size 2/3)
Olive Green Jersey: Fabric Depot
Embroidery Design: Penguin & Fish via Sew Mama Sew!
Embroidery Fabric: scrap from repurposed men’s cargo pants
PS – the whole roast chicken was a smashing success (contrary to the awful camera phone pic and burnt onions). I mean, smashing. I way overate. The bones are currently simmering in a pot on my stove, turning into golden delicious bone broth. Thank you Latisha for all the bomb tips. Delish!

That is the shirt Jude needs for his pants! Sorry you had to wrestle with it, totally worth it from where I’m sitting. I have almost locked Jude and the keys in the car so many times, stressful!

Ooh! I love the embroidery! LOVE! Like you say, straight from an old children’s book.
I love the Tee for Two pattern and have made quite a few. Sometimes it’s a breeze, sometimes it’s a challenge, depending on how slippery or curly or stretchy the knit is. But this looks amazing. Wonky underarm? Shoot, that is not a thing! It’s super cute.

I love love love all things embroidery and this is so fun! Great job!
If the iPhone 4S had one big improvement, I’d love it to have been that it takes decent photos of food! It just cannot do justice to good dinner.

Gee Kimberly, do you ever sleep?! Your embroidery is so perfect and I think I can smell the chicken. It really goes with the fox in the chicken coop fabric!!!
