    RECYCLING

    Do you ever had a garment in your closet that you never wear but you didn’t want giving away? Here, I had a pair of wool pants that I didn’t wear because they itched too much. Every year at the change of season, the usual dilemma. What do I do? The wool is of beautiful quality. The other day I finally decided, I cut them and sew a pair of pants for polpetta .. obviously lined!! With a nice poplin cotton veeeery soft! 😊.

    For the pattern I used the Sacha pajama pants as a base, but I opted for the belt of the Jim model, wider, both by Ikatee, which I had on hand having sewn these two models recently and which you can find described here and here (ok, I am addicted to Ikatee 😊)

    Here is the result!

    🍎 See you soon! 🍎

  • SACHA

    SACHA

    It is the third Ikatee model I have sewn in a month (see here and here… will I have become addicted? 🙂

    Actually polpetta grows fast and needed new pajamas. The Sacha model is a mixed model.

    Available from 3 to 12 years. Very simple to sew.

    I purchased a white jersey fabric with little gray stars, very soft, on the Atelier de la Création website.

    I assembled the pajamas with the sewing machine, straight stitches and stretch needle and then I finished it with the serger.

    I am very happy with the result.

    What do you think?

    CHARLIE

    For the first project of the year I thought about my polpetta. I was looking for a comfortable outfit for kindergarten. By subscribing to the Ikatee newsletter I received the Jim jogpants pattern as a gift, which I then combined with their sweat Charlie. A rather large model with a lined hood and raglan sleeves. I opted for the 4 year size for both the trousers and the sweatshirt (polpetta is 3 years old and measures 1 meter) but it is still a little big. I just finished sewing another Ikatee model (the Grand’Ourse cardigan – I will talk about shortly) and in retrospect I tell myself that I should have sewn the exact size since their models are quite large.

    For the fabric I chose a jeans-colored sweater (Maille Sweatshirt – extra quality – Uni – Jeans) that I had bought on Stragier and a patterned cotton that I had in stock for the hood lining and pockets.

    I am quite happy with the result.

  • PYTER

    PYTER

    My polpetta loves tractors and when I found this Christmas fabric with Santa Claus on the tractor on Supercut site I didn’t hesitate to buy it to sew him a pajama.

    For the pattern, I found it on Petit Citron website the Pyter pajamas, size 3 – 14 years at 2 EUR.

    The tutorial is available on the site. Unfortunately, it is not possible to print the complete document but only image by image, which is not ideal. I personally looked directly on the website in case of need. Furthermore, the explanations are rather concise and almost nonexistent for the finishes. Depending on the fabric chosen, in my case it is a rather thick cotton, I recommend finishing the edges with the sew and iron the seams as in the two photos below.

    But for the price of the pattern, I think you can’t ask for more. 😊

  • FANNY

    FANNY

    I was looking for an elegant but practical trousers model for my little polpetta. After various researches I found that Fanny from La Maison Victor matches perfectly what I wanted. Unfortunately, it is necessary to register on the site to be able to access the patterns in PDF format. Otherwise this model was presented in the 02/2020 edition of the magazine. It is not well indicated whether it is a unisex model or just for girls. I therefore opted to use for some details (pockets and belt) a purely masculine fabric, blue and gray, with little robots. The main fabric is a velvet that I bought on Antonietta Tessuti website and that I had already used to sew a dress for myself. The elastic is only in the back of the trousers. The belt is sewn on the sides, but if desired, it could also be omitted. Also this pattern comes to size 176 (17-18 years).

    So I really think that soon I’ll sew one for myself too 😉
