Made By Lex

Today I got out my Oliver + S Shorts Pattern and made these shorts for the girls. I varied from the pattern slightly and added the different bias tape and then my new favorite thing- this ruffle crochet trim that I get at Harts. It’s so great! This is the only kid’s pattern I own and I really like it.

Isabel’s 5th birthday is next month so my next project is making her a backpack and lunchbox for her first year of real school next year! I’m working on the pattern today. Isabel is obsessed with this fabric and has been for a year now. I don’t know if it would work to do the backpack out of it since it’s sweatshirt material. But I might just make her a sweatshirt out of it. But $28/yard!! I need to calculate whatever measurements VERY accurately!

I’m also thinking about making some patterns for some girls’ dresses or skirts. I’m looking through my designs and seeing which ones I think people would like the most. We’ll see where it leads me!
