I have been interested in doing some sample sewing for some of the custom fabric groups on Facebook that I follow, and this one came up. I offered up, and was selected to sew up this pretty print. It will be stocking on Friday, noon EST. Some of her stockings sell out right away, so if you want it…be ready!
Zenith & Quasar Fairytale Print on brushed poly
The test was printed on swim knit, but it will be stocked in brushed poly (so thicker and warmer). I love the colors on this print, and it went well with a supplex activewear fabric that I bought last fall on sale at Joann’s.
Zenith & Quasar has a supplex that is similar, and looks like it will go well with the print. There’s only a few yards left, though.
I had hoped to get pictures of this outfit this past weekend, but alas, we were busy, busy, busy. Saturday was the first volleyball pool play, and then Sunday, it took me longer to make my sister’s purse than I expected. I sewed until almost midnight on Sunday, and then stopped before putting in the zipper. I was very tired, so I figured that was a good place to stop!
The jacket here is the Foliis by Sofilantjes. I used the side seam pocket pattern piece from the longer jacket version to add into this shorter jacket. The bottom of the pocket is enclosed in the bottom band, and the side is caught by the zipper edge. I still had to top-stitch it down, though. Otherwise it was floppy.
The leggings are a modified Shenanigan’s leggings. I cut the curved section out of the middle, and then I also modified the waist. I cut the waist lower and added a different waist piece. This is from the volleyball shorts pattern that I created, and is comfortable on her. Next time the front rise needs to come up about an inch. It was a smidge short.
The top underneath is the modified Nivalis/Hibernis mash up, with a design that I drew and cut with my Silhouette Cameo on HTV. Which….didn’t get pictures of yet. I will try to do that soonish.
I also used up just about every scrap of both of these fabrics. I had to piece the top to get enough to do the top part of it (which you can’t see, of course).
She loved this one, and so do I!
