| Hi! I love bright yellow, bright red, bright blue, bright orange, bright green, and bright purple! |
I found this fabric at Joann's, and it's knit, and bright, and the moment my 3 year old saw it... well, let's just say that it will be a sad day when it isn't big enough for capes anymore. Everyone needs a giggling giraffe cape (Giggling giraffes is what is printed beneath the yellow giraffe's).
I used an interesting shorts pattern from Ottobre 3/2014 #12, with 3 pockets, running stripes and easy swingy shapes. The second I saw them I thought 80's gymnasium, so this is her gymnastics suit, a la rainbow brite. I used stretch terry borrowed from 7 year old's too small shirt. They match the shoes. THE shoes.

I made the shirt out of basic tank sloper with some binding for muscle-t look. She wanted more pockets. Maybe next time. I really like how the top turned out. The shorts are cute, but I think I'd use a firmer fabric for the stripe/binding if I made them again. The lycra knit kind of puckered, or maybe I used the wrong stitch for it.

Rainbow Brite would have done more kapows if she'd had these shoes.
Also, she would have ridden more whales.

Fun and comfy! I like the wide binding on the sleeves--the outfit definitely has an '80s vibe while being totally modern :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I really love it when the things I make are worn and cute. :) Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThanks! Your challenge sounds EXACTLY like my cup of tea. I am going to check it out post haste! So glad you commented. :)
DeleteCute idea! I have some of the fabric too and can't bear to make anything with it cause cutting into it seems so final :)
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling. The longer I have a fabric, the more precious it becomes. I want to keep everything in beautiful color-coordinated rows forever, because heaven forbid I have to go out and buy new fabric... except I LOVE to buy new fabric. Thanks for commenting, Call Ajaire. We must be strong. :)
