Burda Kids 9393

It seemed so easy to make a pair of joggers for little nephew, but it took much more time than anticipated. Especially the pockets: both the back pockets and the side-seam pockets. To be honest: I am not used to sewing side-seam pockets at all and all seams and top-stitching have to line up perfectly before I am satisfied. But in the end they look great.




 


Instead of button holes I used metal eyelets to guide the cording, as I am not proficient in creating button holes. Especially when on a (tight) schedule. Most of the seams where done using a serger and top-stitched using 4-mm twin needles.

Since the pattern was released I loved it: Jalie 3901 (Kate), and so did little niece when her mom showed it to her. Needless to say that I picked this pattern to make her a birthday present. As I needed a break from all the pink, I decided on a blue/green mystique for colour and hope she likes it as well.

The leotard came together like a charm and looks gorgeous. Shorts 3247 and scrunchies 2792 complement the set.

 







Unfortunately the leotard turned out too small (width wise) and she couldn't get her arms is as the neckline was too small. So I took the leotard apart and added a 2cm-wide black band to both sides and removed the neck band. Instead I added elastic to the wrong side of the fabric, turned it inside and top-stitched the elastic down. It doesn't look as professional as the original, but it's better than having to start all over again.

Finally, J's birthday present (from 3 years ago) is finished! This summer she selected the patterns and picked the fabrics. I am happy I made a test set first, as the shorts turned out to be a little too small.

The top is a size T, with V-length straps and length of the part on the back where the straps attach. To accommodate removable cups I added an extra layer of lining (combining both front pieces to create a single piece front). Also added 1cm of length to the mesh overlay.

The only change made to the leggings are the addition of 2cm to the length.
