Tshirt & Diaper swap



The sewing on this set is not up to par but there were firsts and it’s been awhile since I’ve sewn anything. I’m a bit rusty apparantly.
Let’s see, the dress is Olivia by Farbenmix, just the underdress and without the pocket. I thought the pocket would take away from the print on the dress. The hood is velour. I ended up needing to rip the hood off once, as I used a straight stitch to attach it and to topstitch it … it wouldn’t go over Matthew’s head (this is going to a little girl about Matthew’s size) so I serged it with some wooly nylon and added the decorative topstitching instead. Works much better. I’m just glad that I tried it on him first!
The diaper, is a Little Comet Tails AIO in size medium. I’ve only serged a couple of diapers ever, but I see improvement on this one. I’m still not putting my elastic in far enough though. There are a couple of spots I had to go over as well.
The shorts are also LCT, but the Crescent Moon Yoga Pants pattern. I lettuced the edges of the dress and the shorts, but I’m not very good at that yet — somehow the thread keeps missing the fabric every now and then, so I go over it and there you have the wonkiness.
Now that I’ve finished up this swap, I can start on the Magic Yarn Ball swap on DSD. I already have mine mostly done, but I’m waiting on something to come in before I can finish it completly. This is so much fun!
