Baby Tunic

I love the Tea brand but I can't justify buying their clothes very often, so when I get something on sale, why not copy it?  I bought this material for my Knits class, not paying any attention to what it was made of - 100% polyester.  Yuck.  It sticks to itself.  But, it's so cute!  I decided I'd use it to make something small, a copy of a tunic I bought on sale from Tea.  I'm mostly happy with the way it turned out.  The proportions around the waist are a little funny, but she doesn't care.  :)  I made the leggings too (tutorial).

I think I'm going to be brave and join the Kids Clothes Sewing Week.  I want to make this dress for a wedding we are going to in May.  I even made a muslin of the bodice!  I should have the material by Friday, so perfect timing!

approx cost:
tunic: $2
leggings: repurposed from a bag that jersey sheets came in

Striped Dolman

I have been obsessed with sewing clothes lately.  I've never really thought I could and I love it!  So satisfying.  And this top, oh this top.  I so love it.  I had this Dolman at Make It Love It saved since it was first posted, obviously the fabric captured me as well as the top itself!  And then I stumbled on this one so I combined them and used a sweater I have to help with creating the shape.  I never would have had the confidence if not for the Knits class with Whipstitch.  Oh, and I'm posting on Made By Rae's Spring Top Sew-Along!

approx cost: $3
