Etsy Order & Sewing Spree Part 3

Hello everyone! Here is the last part of our sewing spree post. The first and seconds parts are the last two posts, so just scroll down.

This last little project really didn't have all that much to do with sewing, it was more of a crafting thing. As I mentioned before, there was a second piece to our etsy order. Camp Tees!

$4 Per T-shirt, pretty much.

We used this iron-on paper that we got at Joann's, it was super easy to use and the effect was perfect. It was also really inexpensive when compared to getting screen printing done.

You can see the outline of the piece we ironed on.

 It looks really good on the t-shirt, the only drawback being the square of white that gets ironed on, and makes the shirt a bit stiff. Other than that, it looks great! Another detail is that the colors are slightly lighter on the shirt then they are on the printables I printed on regular paper. Still, I am confident that the shirts will do their job, and extremely well for the cost of making them.

Friends!

Close up of the shirt detail.

Don't fall asleep!

We are super-dee-duper excited!

We are so excited about these super cute t-shirts! Here is the link to the review video on our Youtube, where you can see these shirts in action:

Etsy Opening & Sewing Spree Part 2

Hi everyone, it's Willow!

Here is the second part to our sewing spree post. After much anticipation we got the Lilly Boo shorts we ordered from Closet 4 Chloe last Wednesday. The are adorable, and have a functional little pocket.

Here the shorts are with the shirt we made. The look grows on me more and more every time I see it.

The outfit looks great on McKenna! It is just what we hoped.

Shifting gears, Honey also made a dress as a part of her recent "sewing spree".
Here it is:

 This is another great look for McKenna!

Blues just look so wonderful on her, it's great.

Stay tuned for next part (part 3) where we will reveal the other piece of the Etsy order. The camp tees!

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!
