Last Minute Easter Sewing

For every holiday I have these grand plans to make the kiddos clothes.  I usually go as far as to pick the patterns and buy the fabric and then all the sudden it is a couple days before and I haven’t started and I just abandon the idea all together.  For Easter it wasn’t much different, I purchased the fabric a few months ago and never really settled on a pattern.  Last week was spring break for the kiddos so I got even less sewing done than I normally would.  Somehow I arrived at Saturday morning with a pattern for Ben picked and still no final decision for Sophie.  Normally I would have scrapped the idea at this point but I was determined to make something, plus my in-laws were in town so I knew they would keep the littles occupied so I could get some sewing done.

Is this print too big? Schoolboy Vest Test

When it comes to picking the right fabric for a pattern sometimes the process is easy and other times you begin to question whether your vision is going to work in reality.  My recent test of the Schoolboy Vest by Sew Much Ado in Sophie’s size was exactly one of those times where I started to doubt the awesomeness that I had envisioned.

Sophie has pretty clear wishes when it comes to the fabric for clothes I will be making her.  No surprise that has resulted in most of her clothes being either pink or with pink in them.  Because I can only sew so many pink things I decided to try and branch out and incorporate at least one of her other loves, flowers.
