My last blog post was basically a pile of kids clothes that Ive made, and this one is basically the same. Last week was the summer 2016 edition of the Kids Clothes Week challenge/sewalong. As Im sure you know by now, the only criteria for taking part is to sew clothing for children for at least an hour a day for a week. Each instalment has a theme, that you can adopt or ignore as you please. This summers theme was Celebration, and I decided to translate it as a celebration of the little girl that my baby is turning into. So that meant embracing her defiantly girly, dressy clothing preferences! 

I failed to do any sewing on Monday or Friday, so I made sure I caught up by doing more than an hour on other days and extended it to include Monday this week. I managed to complete three woven garments, a skirt, a tunic top and a dress. I actually cut out the tunic top months ago, and it was great to be able to use KCW to fit in the actual construction, since I had clearly been stalling for various reasons. 

I intend to write individual posts for each of these garments in due course. However, I must admit at this point that the dress is the only one that Dolores hasnt refused to even try on! So modelled photos may be thin on the ground.
