EB Kids Clothes Swap 2010

The EB Kids Clothes Sewing Swap is all over for this year now and I can reveal what I made for two children now that they have been received. For Renee's little girl who is almost 7, I made a twirly patchwork skirt from Sandi Hendersons Analise Pattern. This was the first time I had used this pattern which I had, had for over 12 months in my stash and I loved making it. It involved LOTS of fabric, but well worth it. I also added a matching t-shirt with some ruffles to the front. Some pics of Renee's little girl wearing the outfit here and here. For the second outfit I made for one of Emma's boys who is almost 3. A basic pair of denim shorts with linen pockets and a matching t-shirt with applique to match the shorts.

For Matilda I received a couple of gorgeous outfits from Naomi. Naomi did an absolutely beautiful job on all the sewing and even included a pin cushion and some chocolates, yum!

For Tom I received a gorgeous outfit from Joy. I am yet to get pics of Tom wearing this one, but the detail Joy has gone to with the pockets on the shorts is fabulous!

EB Kids Clothes Swap 2010 - sneak peaks

I am taking part in the EB Kids Clothes Swap again this year. Basically you make an outfit for one person's little one and in return somebody else will make an outfit for your little one. I volunteered both Master T and Miss M this year so in return I have to make two seperate outfits for two different children.

The first outfit is cut out and started for a little boy and just needs some little extras to go with it. Sneak peak of that to come shortly.

The second outfit is I think going to be a big task, as its a pattern I have had in my stash for quite a while now which until now I had looked at and told myself, too hard, don't have time. But now, even though time is not a lot I have of these day, I am going to tackle it and bought the fabrics for just the bottom part of it today;

I hope to make a start on this one on Monday : )

More sneak peaks to come.
