Christmas 2019 Sews

Here are my Christmas 2019 sewing projects! Earlier that year, I got lucky and spotted some knit Christmas print fabric (Santas!) for a couple of bucks and snatched it up. I washed it and saved it in my fabric stash until December rolled around. I made a raglan top (there's lots of free raglan top patterns floating around on the internet, but here is the one I used) for the little guy and a simple dress using the Talula pattern from VFT for girlie. Other than making the neckband a bit too tight, I think they both turned out great! It was fun that the kids matched: 

Eesa had an ugly sweat contest day at school. She told me last minute of course, but luckily raglan top patterns are a pretty quick sew (at least relatively). I used the same raglan pattern and we had lots of fun decorating the shirt. We used felt, buttons, those round blingy things, fabric paint, and lots and lots of glitter glue. I also sewed on a bunch of bells which made the shirt fun and jingly, but unfortunately Eesa came home with only one bell remaining on the shirt. Turns out it had nothing to do with my sewing them on, rather the metal from the bell cut into the thread and then they fell off. I will have to try something else next time I want to sew on bells!
