Kids Clothing Week Challenge

I don't know if any of you follow Elise Marley's blog.
Last week she did her semi-annual KCWC and
lots of the craft blogs I follow were participating.
I wasn't going to do anything because I've never
sewed clothes before, but I've seen so many cute
ideas out there that I've been wanting to try, so
I decided to give it a try.
I've only done two items so far, but my goal is to
make seven different pieces.

1. So I know a belt is more of an accessory, but I counted it anyway.
I've been doing some fall shopping for Wade and it's impossible
to find jeans that fit well, he's just a little too short.
Well I found a few pairs, but they would not stay up.
I've looked around for little boy belts, but didn't have much luck.
So I found this tutorial and gave it a try.
It's very basic and I didn't do any embellishments, but
it definitely does the job.
If you make one though, I would highly recommend
a very heavy weight interfacing, or even canvas,
mine could be a little bit sturdier.
But, all in all very easy, and all made out of scraps I had on hand!

2. Baby boy Sweat Pants!

I saw these super cute pants and fell in love!
I was very nervous to make pants, but it turned out really easy.

I used an old sweatshirt I bought at the Hard Rock Cafe in
London that hasn't fit in a very long time. It was the perfect
fabric for my first pair of pants because you don't have to worry
about ironing and edges fraying. They're a little big, but perfect
for lazying around the house in the winter. I wanted to applique
the entire Hard Rock logo on the pants, but it wouldn't fit, so I just
did the London part of it.
So far making kids clothes is turning out to be quite easy,
you all should give it a try!
