I made a matching mini travel collection for me and my friends recently, so I’m getting this on the grid!
…
Here’s what I made:
📍 @maisonfauve #leshortgrandbain
📍@fridaypatterncompany #saguaroset pants x2
📍#S9561 shorts x2
📍#asukahamada Funny Shape Clothes pattern S fleece top x3
📍fleece Baby Yoda #asukahamada #bigclothessmallclothes small sweatshirt x2
📍@100actsofsewing #dressno1 with an added pocket from a vintage 1970s pattern, lengthened 2” and finished with a contrasting 2” hem facing
📍knee length #wikstenshift
…
My friend’s daughter wore her baby Yoda fleece every evening and says she will wear it to school the first day she’s back.“And if they ask me where I got it, I’m going to say they can’t buy it because it was made JUST for me.”
The non-fleece items are all quilting cotton from Joann Fabrics. I haven’t tried to sew a garment out of that in ages. Honestly, everything turned out pretty well for it being quilting cotton, plus it’s such an easy sew. My friends also said that they preferred the cotton items I made for them because they were the coolest temperature-wise to wear out of all of the items they had along.
I decided to line my shorts with some Bemberg I had on hand. Note to self: line more pants/shorts. They wrinkle less, look better, and are more comfortable to wear. We go to Disney quite a bit for races, so I know my shorts will get a lot of future wear in the parks.
People commented all day every day about these items, which made me feel so good. The item that received the most questions on where to purchase was the newsprint Harry Potter Dress No. 1. My friends would just point at me and tell whoever was asking/commenting that I made it! 🙋♀️
