Enter the newly released Posey Tunic and Peony Leggings from Sew Like My Mom (SLMM) Patterns. Miss P and I tested these for Melissa last week, and we both loved them immediately. My girl, at the ripe old age of 6.5, isn't a huge fan of "matching" outfits, but this is a set that's easy to coordinate. Lucky for me it's super easy to sew; lucky for my kiddo, it's easy for her to just grab and get dressed and out the door to school on time. Suffice it to say it was easier to sew up this set for her than it was to coax reasonably normal pics from her, too.
Since I had been working from the tester copy of the patterns, I decided to reprint the final version and start from scratch with the timer going. It took me *just* over 1 hour to print, tape, cut fabric, and sew up the tunic and shorts. And that included re-threading both my serger and coverstitch, and also replacing one bent needle. Not too shabby. I sewed up the tank version since Miss P needs summer clothes, but the tunic pattern also includes multiple sleeve lengths and the leggings pattern includes capri and pants lengths (and also a super cute gathered side panel option).
My kiddo wore this to school the day after we took these pics (and she did the same with the tester version we sewed last week), so clearly she'll need some more. I love when I find a great pattern (or set of patterns) that can be used over and over. It'll be on the top of my pattern pile - and the top of Miss P's laundry pile - for sure!

I love this top and shorts! I like the trapeze look over the slim fitting shorts.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, I'm jelly of your time. It takes me like an hour to rethread my serger and coverstitch alone!
I love Posey and Peony too! Great idea using them for this tour, they certainly are fast enough sews! Love the coordinating outfits my girls too, it's so hard finding stuff that goes together otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI totally want to copy this for my girls. I LOVE the fabric and tunic and leggings. They are DARLING!
ReplyDeleteCute, but please also do the laundry ☺️
