My little grandson loves Mickey Mouse. When he comes to my house I put on the Disney channel and he loves watching Mickey Mouse Club House. And when the Hot Dog Dance come son at the end of each episode he is laughing and bouncing. Since he's not walking yet I hold him up to help him jump. Hot Dog it is fun.
While I was shopping at the fabric store I came across some fun Mickey Mouse knit material and decided that I would make him overalls.
Since they are red, white and blue his mother decided that they had to be his Fourth of July outfit.
It's fun to make clothes for my little ones. I do find it hard to use the required 5/8" seam allowance since I've been quilting and not garment sewing for some time. And with these small clothes the seam allowance is almost wider than the actual garment piece. I purchased an inexpensive serger which makes seam finishes a breeze. Although, I do have a sewing machine that will finish the seam edges, I love that the serger trims and finishes the seams all in one step. I have a couple more garment pieces I'm working on. Pattern sizing is a little bit of an issue. Trying to measure a little one vs using the size of store bought garments can be challenging.
