KCW - Jersey & cotton dress, and a long cardigan

I've been sewing in little bits and pieces all this week, but - so frustrating! - haven't been able to finish up, photograph and post til now. At least I have the satisfaction of having made two things that go well together, and that I think will get a lot of wear.

The dress:
Pattern: Dress E-9 from A Sunny Spot
Size: 110, with 120 length
Fabric: cotton jersey, quilting cotton, silver ric-rac

Not much to say about this. Lovely pattern, easy sew, added the silver ric-rac to pick up the little dots of silver on the skirt part, and because I knew R would love it. A nice loose-fitting, comfy dress with a cute bias-binding tie at the back (hard to photograph, as R's hair covers it).

The cardigan:
Pattern: Long cardigan F-14 from A Sunny Spot
Size: 110, with 120 length
Fabric: cotton sweatshirt fabric

I really love the style of this cardigan, which has buttons down the top section and a slightly gathered lower section that sits open. The gathering didn't work all that well with the thickish fabric, and my machine did not like making buttonholes in it either, but the result is very pleasing nevertheless. As this is the second grey top I've made for R this winter, and as she is not exactly a huge fan of grey (what six-year-old is?) I used buttons in various shades of blue/purple. Finding identical buttons in four different colours was probably the most difficult (and time-consuming) part of making this! Luckily the staff at Darn Cheap are used to seeing me crouching in the button aisle for hours on end.

I have one more very small project planned, which I hope I can finish by tomorrow. I'm so enjoying seeing everyone's fabulous creations on the Kids Clothes week website. Keep 'em coming!
