With my last shreds of soil separator paper I managed to eke out a tee shirt pattern for Myra. She really needs some long sleeved tees, and I wanted some leggings as well, for layering under summer dresses that she hasn't yet outgrown (but will by the time it is warm enough to wear them again!).
Here is her first tee. I didn't want anything fancy, since she'll be wearing it under things, but I liked the little keyhole at the neckline.
And a pair of basic leggings.
I did the waistband slightly differently than the Ottobre directions and it looks exactly like her RTW leggings. Basically I attached the elastic in the round to the wrong side of the pant top with a wide triple zigzag and my overcast foot so it finished the edge and sewed it in one step, then folded over the edge and topstitched it down with a twin needle.
For both pieces I used a "ponteroma" double knit from Hancock. It is super soft and cozy. I think it will be perfect as a warm winter layer.
"Why are you taking a picture of my in my long johns, Mommy?" Yeah, not too stylish all by themselves!
But just right with a
little dress over the top.
