Belts

A new outfit

March 16, 2011


I have been doing lots of sewing this week and having fun making Isabella some new clothes as her wardrobe is beginning to look depleted of clothes for the cooler months ahead. A run around in the garden this morning provided me with some good photo opportunities.

The pants are made of stretch velvet/corduroy while the top is made of a stretch wool jersey. Although I made the pants to Isabella's height specification they are still a little big so I fashioned a belt of some cream strap and two little red D rings! I used a detailed red stitch across the strapping to add a bit of interest to the belt. This pic also shows the pocket detail on the pants.

They were fun to make and I think I will keep my eye out for some stretch denim for Issie's next pair of jeans.
