KCW Day 1 and 2

Schüchen2 First 2 days of KCW, I`ve been busy sewing little shoes for my girl. She just starts to stand up on her own, everywhere. I just needed something to cover her feet. As she`s not walking jet, it`s not necessary to buy her shoes. The leather shoes i found in store look all the same. I couldn`t find just a solid black one, she could wear to every outfit. Time to do it myself.

schüchen4It was a time-consuming project. No, not the sewing. But the pattern drafting. I just wanted to try my hand on a little shoe pattern. And I really like it.  I think that could be a new addiction. So be aware, there may come a few sweet little shoes the next weeks.

schüchen3It`s easy to do. Really it`s nothing complicated. You just have to measure your little one`s feet exactly. I used a nice Nappa leather. I bought from an old little shoemaker in town. It`s so soft. As it is so fine, I lined the whole shoe. To layers of leather. It gives a nice finish. But, if I`ll do so next time, i have to make my shoepattern a tiny bit bigger. My little beans feet is not going to fit in for long. But fortunately, we know a sweet little girl who is just a few moths younger. So this is going to be a gift soon. And i`ve got a good excuse to sew a second pair.

Schüchen1My sewing went quite well this KCW. There was just no time left, to get pictures and posts in time. But i`m going to show you my projects over the next few days. That`s live with a baby, day`s do never have enough hours do get everything done in time.

KCW is here

kid's clothes week

 

It’s KCW again. And I`m going to participate, for the first time. The last two days, I managed to sew at least an hour a day. Mostly during my little beans nap time. I`m going to use this week, to sew up the useful stuff my little one is in need of. The kind of things always have to stand back behind the sweet little dresses. But it`s not less fun. I hope that I`ll have the time to take a few pic`s later, to show you what i did so far. Be sure to check out all the cool creations popping up all over.. have a look to the KCW Blog.
