Elsie Marley Kids Clothing Week: Project One

09/20/2010 By Christie

DSCF1846 - Copy DSCF1720

I enjoyed Meg’s challenge so much last time that I knew I wanted to participate again.  I admit that I did get some of my sewing done last week for the challenge, as I had purse week coming up, and birthdays to sew for!

C has been wearing this vest, inside out, with the tag sticking out one side.   DSCF1724DSCF1725

He’d button it from the inside.  He just loved this crazy 80’s looking vest (but he still looks cute so I didn’t care how he wore it).

I just traced his current vest and used some instructions from an old thrift store pattern on a size 4 vest (he’s 7—and big).  I love how it turned out.  Actually, my favorite part is the buttons—it gave it a vintage look.  DSCF1721

P.S.  The dates on my kids clothes week challenges are all messed up, as I want Purse Week to end up as the first post for a few days.  So I’m changing them to say something that isn’t the real date I published them ;) .

    Nice! I have a vest on my list of things to make. My boy is in the getting dressed up stage right now.

    What handsome photos. You did a great job on this! A vest is so versatile and it is a great option for little guy’s dressup gear.
