KCWC: Day 4

Charlie’s dress, another version of Simplicity 4927. I lied and put on sleeves anyway, which I think looks better with the ruffle down the front. I’m not sure what the fabric is, some kind of shirting I think. It was very thin, and puckered easily so I had to unpick and restitch both sleeves. GOOD TIMES.
As I was pinking the seam on one of the armholes, I cut through the sleeve. I was so mad I almost punched a kitten. It was only 1” by 0.5” but it’s in the very front of the sleeve. If you look closely, you can totally see it. I made a quick patch by cutting out a rectangle of fabric and used some stitch witchery to glue it over the hole. Whatevs. A better person would’ve cut out a new sleeve, but that is not the way I roll.
I like the ruffle front (it looks crooked in the picture but it’s not, pinky swear) but I’m not sure if it’s too heavy for the dress. The dress fabric is really thin. It may hang weird when Charlie wears it — I’ll have to see. I fussy cut the leftover fabric from this dress so that the red design would show down the front of the ruffle. I really wanted to do a solid red or pink, but I didn’t have any in my stash. So sad.
Not sure what I’ll be making for tomorrow’s challenge yet. Maybe some t-shirts? I had an idea for cutting up some of Thea’s baby tees to use as the gusset on more monkey pants, but we’ll see if I can find where I stored her stuff — I may have to dig through a lot of boxes.
