I promised the girls I would make them bending costumes for Halloween before I realized it would fall on a Sunday. The costumes were way too much work to just be worn once to our church party, but, luckily, Sage had a school party. Also, they have wanted to wear the costumes every day since.
made from Kona cotton, Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants pattern (shortened and added elastic hem), Habitual Kimono tutorial, and Little Lizard King Vest pattern (unlined, lengthened, added collar, extended center placket, and left side seams unconnected); accessories from own design
made with Kona cotton and Habitual Kimono tutorial (lengthened and added side vents); completely made up (and botched) the water bending bag
made with Kona cotton, Habitual Kimono tutorial, Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants pattern, and Little Lizard King vest pattern (unlined and lengthened)
very simple pattern; made of bandannas, part of an old sheet (I ran out of bandannas), and pearl buttons; for Sage's Red Ribbon Week--Western Day
very well done pattern; made of thick tubular double knit yardage; size 7 was a little large for Sage, even thought that's where her measurements put her
great pattern; very similar to LBB leggings; made of knit yardage
upcycled pocket t-shirt
made from knit yardage and a mash-up of different patterns with too many modifications to be recognizable; one of my favorite creations thus far
made from yardage and LBB Twirl Skirt pattern (much better than my own); found transfers I made 2 years ago, and they yellowed slightly when ironed
made from recycled knits and yardage; modified LBB Hoodie to make a racerback pattern and left off arms; same issue with the main piece gathering when I attach a gathered or ruffled piece to it (very frustrating)
modified LBB Sienna to give a twirl skirt; added too much width to the bottom, so it falls asymmetrically; next time, I won't widen the bodice to match up with the twirl
from own pattern; added ruffle to hide unfinished hem; had issues attaching ruffle (skirt kept gathering under the ruffle)
Sage requested a Voltron dress and helmet for her 5th birthday; made from knit yardage, LBB Sienna with modifications, and Leila & Ben Little Cap
made from stretch knit and own design; used Leila & Ben Sweet Dress pattern
made from recycled t-shirts and LBB Sienna pattern; fixed stretched neckline by not using stretch fabrics on bodice and arms; used 3/4 formula for neck and arm band length
made from recycled dress shirt and Sweet Dress pattern; added pockets and covered buttons; elastic in arms needed lengthening
