I seem to be learning an awful lot in my preparation for Kids Clothes Week. Learning how to manipulate the material I’ve got, how to not blow the house up using the iron. Learning how to make bias tape, button holes and cool trim. Learning that I’m still struggling to make pants and shorts that will fit over the cute big nappy bum. Learning how to fabric stamp and coffee dye. Also learning not to cut shorts out too late at night – unless you want 4 fronts or 2 backs that face the same way . . .

Here’s some more photos of my prep process 🙂

Alas, it seems I may have gone completely overboard in preparing for Kids Clothing Week. I have 6 outfits planned which involve 13 pieces of clothing. Preparing goes beyond simple cutting out and includes painting and stamping. And yet, I’m having the best time. I figure that this is a great chance to really make some lovely things for Squirm, and a good focused time to do more than random pieces.

Bring on Monday (once I finish the cutting out and painting, that is!)
