Bloomers



I've always wanted to try my hand at making some little bloomers for my girls to wear under their dresses. So the other day, after throwing this little project together, I decided it was the perfect fabric to throw together some bloomers with.

I roughly followed this tutorial. I say roughly because I couldn't actually figure out how to print the pattern pieces to the size that I needed and ended up with a miniature doll-size pattern to work with. So I threw that aside, free handed the general idea and snipped pieces while I sewed so that corners and ends lined up appropriately. I wouldn't recommend the method, but I did end up with legitimate looking bloomers.

Instead of putting elastic in the waist I just tucked it into a matching skirt and sewed it in under the top hem. It fit like I'd actually measured it, I love it when things work like that!




Many more bloomers to come!!

Oh yeah and maybe I'll actually do something to hem the bottom of that skirt.
