I made some much needed warm play clothes for the girls. This is what I like – simple and quick sewing with a cute result. I actually get a lot of clothes sewn up in my mind, but sadly not many in reality!
I modified the Miss Madeline dress pattern to make long tops with 3/4 sleeves.
The leggings are from a very easy Simplicity pattern.
This little one hasn’t quite got her “camera smile” figured out yet!
The fabric was all on special at Spotlight. I find knits really easy to work with these days, providing they don’t have too much stretch. I usually look for cotton with about 5% lycra or similar.
I’ll be making more of these, the girls find them so comfortable too.
I too am frightened about sewing with knits, so would love tips.
The girls clothes are great.

i really love her "camera" smile, my kids did the same thing for such a long time it makes me laugh.
nice sewing, gotta love quick and easy…
This is very inspiring! I want to make clothes for my little ones too. Now that the weather is cooling down here in South Africa… You have made beautiful items:)

I also haven't liked sewing with knits much except for sewing jumpers. I may have a go at sewing some leggings too.
I've always shied away from knits thinking them too tricky to work with – what's your secret? What sort of machine needle do you use?
