Kids Clothes Week

March 14, 2014 Jennie Comments Off on Kids Clothes Week

20140314-102422.jpgAmazing timing. The same week we had children’s clothes making on the Great British Sewing Bee I’ve seen the next Kids Clothes Week advertised here.

This a wonderful twice yearly online event with lots of pattern designers and bloggers showing off their funky new togs for kiddies.

Of course we don’t quite have the fabric range here in the UK- we struggle to find nice and especially cheap and nice jersey and denim etc so don’t feel disheartened to see people whipping up things that we are unable to reproduce easily.

But really sewing for children is such fun! The garments are small so they are quick to make, they don’t take much fabric so you can splash out a little, and kids just look so god damn cute in stuff you make them! Also no curves to take into account to fitting is pretty easy. 20140314-102447.jpg20140314-103113.jpg
Got the bug? Don’t know where to start? I’m running a class on Wednesday 19th March which will teach you to make some cute elasticised pull up pants. Great for PJs and dressing up costumes but made in cord or linen they are also great for daytime wear. Bring a meter of fab if and I will supply the elastic, the knowledge, the machine, and the tea.

In the meantime I counted my patterns for little dresses (now remember I have three sons!) and came up with 8!!! So I’m doing a sewing week challenge making up one of each pattern. Join me?

Hello

Jennie Caminada

I set up cheekyhandmades after I left my job 2010. I really wanted to use all my creative skills, skills I’d had for many years but never had time to use any more, and skills I realised I could and wanted to pass on.

I also wanted to work for myself, I wanted to be able to work around my children. And I am doing all of that now, and am loving it. I get to be surrounded by like minded people, great fabrics, my kids and cats, and listen to music all day. I get to decide what I do every day and how I do it.

I get to teach people how to make things and how joyful craft is. Every day my job gets better, every day I meet and talk to enthusiastic people and I help them achieve their creative potential.
