You can often find me staring at the knits in my fabric closet, wondering what to do with them. I plan complicated designs with plackets, and zippers, and gathers, and features. And then do nothing, and grab a woven.
Thing is, I actually really enjoy working with knits. If you look at my kids' RTW wardrobes, 98% of the time they wear knits (at least on the top). And by and large, there's nothing complicated about those shirts.
So I decided to just go back to basics and let the fabrics speak for themselves.* Coloured cuffs, neck and waistbands but other than that, just lovely fabric. Sometimes it just makes sense to keep it simple.
*If these fabrics could speak for themselves, they'd obviously say 'Your reds don't match' and I'd say 'Shut up'.
Cuteness!
ReplyDeleteThe reds look fine from here, honest.
Lovely! I just made a v sweet simple raglan t-shirt for my toddler from an Ottobre pattern, and I couldn't believe how quickly it came together, and how much it looks like a proper t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so sweet in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree - I tend to sew so much differently than what Rylee actually wears most days. So I'm trying to do more knits because what's the point of things that just hang in the closet?
Adorable shirt! I like the wide band at the hem.
ReplyDeleteWow, Maia's looking so grown up! The top looks cute on her :)
