Reversible Tunic & Child Labor

September 23, 2010

Another pattern by dmkeasywear called the reversible tunic.  This is day 4 of KCWC by Elsie Marley.  I made this in size 4 and it fits Anne really well.  Elsie is going to be mad that I haven't made her anything yet but seriously, that girl is so picky that anything I make for her is worn once and then never seen again.  

Here it is on the hanger…

 We went to Lowes today and Anne got a kid size rake to help me in the yard.  So, in 84 degree weather, here she is happily modeling while doing child labor in the yard…

 I think the light side is not the best for her skin color but it matched the orange so there! 

About the sewing~  The pattern was really nice.  Lots of pictures and not too many words which i really liked.  I was amazed and so please that the arms all came together so easily!  The fabrics are vintage from thrift shops and estate sales.  I can't even remember now since I have had them awhile!  

I have been wanting to make something vintage looking since I scanned this picture my mom gave me awhile back~

That's me in the snoopy jumper.  My sister and brother and best childhood friend Christine are with me.  

Hopefully working on something for my boy soon!
