This is getting challenging!
No, not the picking out of fabric, cutting the pattern, sewing the parts.
That is all EASY!
The hard part?
Fitting my model!
The child is on the move and it seems to hit hyper mode when I put clothes on her to size. Hemming pants? Much more challenging when your model is running across the room. Figuring out the length of the sleeves? Next to impossible when your model insists on raising her hands over her head and crawls away!
Somehow the designers on Project Runway don't have to deal with this. I think they should have to fit fashions to toddlers. Now that would be a good elimination challenge! Move over Project Runway. At my house, we have Project RunAway!!!
The funny part is, LA thinks it is the most hilarious thing when I am chasing her to fit her clothes. She is giggling, dropping to the floor and rolling, squealing...and I can't help but laugh. But, we'll see who's laughing when she ends up with Urkle pants and uneven sleeves. Just sayin...
Ok, enough rambling! For KCWC Day 4 (technically days 3-5), I finally gathered the courage to make a top without a pattern (just using this tutorial). Guess what? Peasant tops are EASY!!! I made a muslin prototype first and figured out what adjustments needed to be made to fit my LA. A pair of pants in coordinating fabric completes the outfit!

It really did come out just adorable!
And my biggest problem with my model (my older girl) is that she's constantly asking why it isn't done when I have her try something on!
