KCWC: arrow shorts and ruffle peasant top

Ok! Last outfit, finally! Look for a round up post asap!

 After pinning these shorts a little while ago, I had to make my own version of them…using some Chevrons in Mint from Deerfield Anthology Fabric. Love this fabric. I had to make another pair of the Bubble Pocket shorts, too. Sadie’s in desperate need of shorts so she may get some more, we’ll see. 

I’m pretty sure those pockets have it out for me. I cut them out wrong not once, but twice. CURSE you pockets! Totally my bad, nothing to do with the pattern. So after unpicking (already serged) seams twice…I was ready for them to be done. Finally they were. ahhh.

The tee…I had an idea to do a peasant tee out of ruffle material. So it worked, but not perfectly. I wouldn’t really recommend it..lol! It was tricky to cut out the pieces with the ruffles intact, and I used fold over elastic for the sleeves and neckline, which was also interesting, to say the least. Anyway, I persevered, and though it needs a tank underneath, it’s not bad. 

My two lovely ladies posing together…those girls are the best but they drive me bonkers with their catfights. Girls!

  14. oh I feel you on the catfights, some days I’m ready to lock the girls in a room together and whoever survives gets to stay! Of course if I did that they would sit on the bed and read nicely together and stare at me quizzically when I came in and had to collect my jaw from the floor. Always the way of it.

  15. I approached pre-ruffled knit with the same naive enthusiasm! It’s a lot harder to work with than I imagined! Haha….the shirt looks great even with your difficulties.
