about some of my finished projects! Pardon the pun, but I finally got it together and made my own 'French' bias tape, for the little kimono project I was working on. It's not perfect, but I got past my mental block about it, and just did it. I know you can buy a little gadget to make tape, but I was glad to learn how to do it from scratch too. The pattern for the kimono is from Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones.
I used a thrifted table cloth for the main fabric, and some of the vintage Indonesian fabric from my Aunt Dorothy for the bias tape and borders.
I used that same Indonesian fabric for a special project for Sam - his own apron - for art projects and cooking projects. There's no bias tape on the apron, but it is reversible! The other side is made from one of Michael's old dress shirts - I used the collar to create the neck strap on the apron, and I used both sides of the button placket to create the tie around his waist.
Love the outfit! Dorothy's practicing commenting.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe apron is inspired, using the collar and the button plackets. Very fun. Dorothy
ReplyDeleteI love the kimono outfit. The apron is fun too. Time to get my sewing machine set up and start creating some kids toys and clothes.
