Sewing project – Fun Flannel Kitties

I finally got this outfit done, after buying this flannel fabric at some point this summer.  She obviously didn’t need flannel pants at that point in time, though did she?  The fabric is so cute and girly and soft…I knew I could think of something to do with it.

After moving everything so my house will be clean for the holidays, I got my sewing room set up in the (unfinished) basement.  It is a little chilly down there.  I’m glad this outfit didn’t take me too long, since I have to reconfigure my set up.  I put my sewing machine on a card table, and sewing on that is akin to going 50 mph down a washboard dirt country road.  It’s kinda hard to sew that way.  I did get a nice cutting table at Joanne’s on Black Friday for 50% off, which allows you to cut whilst standing up and not slouching.  A great deal!  Now I just need a sturdy table for my sewing machine, and hopefully I can find one cheap.

Pants: Flannel kitty fabric with my basic pants pattern that I know fits her.  I added trim around the legs that I picked up as a remnant and didn’t know what I was going to use it for at the time.  On top of the pompom trim, I put pink rickrack trim.  I really hope I don’t regret putting that cute pompom trim on those pants.  She wanted to wear them right away, and proceeded to crawl around on the floor and play.  After about twenty minutes she came over to me and handed me a pompom.  What a gift!  I may be sewing them all back on at some point. 😉

Shirt: A plain Old Navy black t-shirt that I appliqued the flannel fabric and added a fun big button and some extra pompoms that I had to cut off the trim.  One of the appliques I added so it wraps around and shows mostly on the back.

Next up will be Renee’s outfit!  I promise!   I don’t think it will be done by next Tuesday though…this is going to be a super busy week, with Kai turning 4 on Sunday.  I know what I want to do now, I just need to execute!
