Etsy Order Coming & Sewing Spree

Hi everyone! It's Willow and Honey.

          For months now I have been browsing Etsy looking for the perfect item to purchase. While reading the blog Clarisse's Closet, I stumbled upon the shop Closet 4 Chloe which had SOO MUCH CUTE STUFF!!! When Honey and I went to order the shirts for PVLC, we caved and bought these:

These were purchased with McKenna in mind, but after we bought them we realized we don't have a shirt to go with them. Ooops.

Sooooo... I decided to make a shirt! We had a pattern from Liberty Jane (conveniently free) so all I had to do was sew it. Except I had one problem.The last shirt I had tried to sew ended up like this: 

Uhhh... It looks better from the front.

Sorta.

 

I was a little reluctant to do it again but I decided I might as well try. 

And it actually worked. I finally figured out how to sew on sleeves and not having a colar or buttons really helped. Personally, It was one of the most satisfying things I've made so far.

Then Willow put McKenna in an outfit and we went outside for a quick photo shoot.

Then, Willow had a the idea to do water color paints on the shirt. We didn't really know how it was going to work but since we didn't have any fabric dye on hand we took a quick trip to our local fabric store. And you won't be able to guess what was waiting there... fabric water colors! Seriously, I didn't even know they sold that kind of thing. So we came home and painted an anchor design then waited 8 hours. 

I turned out super fabulous, but we had to wait even more so it could dry. So yeah.

But then:

AWESOME!

Stay tuned for part 2, in which we will assemble the final outfit!
