My sewjo has been on hiatus since March. It's been a never ending battle with sickness, household chores and well lets face it, everyday life with 5 kids.

But Sunday night I got the urge (right about 9pm) to sew something!
After scouring my Otto's I decided on three pieces for Elliott to wear out the very next day.

So I only finished two of the three things, but in my defence it was after 1 am when I packed my gear away.

Item #1 was the "Rille" raglan sleeve tee from Otto 6/2008 in sz 80 (without seam allowance added). It's a great fit too and so easy to whip up. I will definitely be making more of these up for E 's winter wardrobe.

Item #2 was the "peikko" furry vest ( minus the fur though lol) from Otto 6/2009 in sz 86. I used a nice warm slightly ribbed winter white knit for this one. I did not put the button and ribbon hook on. I was going for an open vest look but it is slightly too big on him do I am going to add some snaps to the front instead (photo's to come)

Item #3 is the "goofy" tweed pants from Otto 6/2008 in sz 86.
I am using a nice red and grey tartan for these pants. I've only just added the pleats to the front, I still have along way to go to finish them.
I am hoping to get them done tonight. (pictures to come )

It's nice getting back into the swing of things.
