While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. I got the impetus to get going on it, so it is finally sewed up!
I drafted both the top and the skort. She wants the skort a little longer next time.
My serger is having some “issues” right now with constantly breaking the lower looper thread, which is oh so much fun to re-thread. Why does it always have to be the hard one?? I am hoping that I don’t have to bring it in to service it, since I have a lot that I want to get done!
I made some mistakes in sewing up the skort, but you can’t tell. I serged a few layers together that weren’t supposed to go together. The bottom is supposed to be a little wider than it is. Still works fine, though.
So cute!
The Sports Stitches are apparently coming in this week, so hopefully I will get the rest of the fabric I ordered in the next few weeks. I ordered softball, baseball and volleyball. It is really hard to find softball and volleyball fabric, so I am happy that I was able to find these.
I applied to be on their strike off tester team, and was accepted, so you will see more from this fabric host in the future. I like that she doesn’t do a lot of “inspired prints”. I think we are starting to get out of the animated characters phase, so sewing up stuff for the kids can be a challenge. There are still ones that they like, though, so that is good at least.
I have a few more strike-off samples to sew up this week, along with 2 baseball games, a night out with the neighbor ladies, several softball and baseball practices, along with the last volleyball tournament of the season. Should be easy to get them done amiright??
Over-committed? Nah! 😉
That is just so cute and what fun fabric. Can’t wait to see what all you make from their fabric.
Thanks, Lori! It is fun using up these fabrics on the cute little outfit. Now I just hope she wears them. She seemed to really like them, so I sure hope so! I have lots of plans for the rest of the fabrics!
Oh my goodness this is so cute! You should sell the patterns you draft–you really seem to have an eye for it! I would buy them!
Thanks, Karen! I need to learn how to digitize and grade patterns before I sell them. I am interested in it, I just don’t have a lot of time! 🙂
