This week space is filled with the transformation of an old soft wool "poncho" into a sleeping bag for my daughter. She "swim" around the bed during the night and usually wakes up with the head in the bottom of the bed..so she doesn't like the usual sheets and cover, because they don't let her move around nicely.This light poncho is great for spring and autumn weather and it was very easy to cut it, I didn't even use a pattern, because as you can see, the bottom of the poncho was already cut. Now I'm going to add some colorful fabric on the edges and in the middle.
And just to stick on the same colors... I'm sewing with white thread along the silouhette of this shirt . I felt something was "missing" in the design and now I like it more, I feel like the light edge brings out the design.

The third thing is ... to check how the tree out of the window is growing fast! I can now touch the last leaves! Will it enter inside the window by summer?For more creative spaces..check out Kirsty!
Ah the stiching does add to the effect. (I do like the original poncho too! It's the style I like in aprons at times.)
ReplyDeleteYou're very clever to make this poncho.
ReplyDeleteMy kids had sleeping bags like that. Aren't they fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI was just saying to a friend yesterday how I would love to have one of these sleeping bag/night gown things. But then I thought how I would spectacularly fall over when I got up in the night to go to the bathroom. Probably not the best fashion choice for people who can walk....
ReplyDeletegreat idea! My friend's little girl does the same thing, swims around the bed and ends up in the weirdest positions. Actually now I thinks of it, would be fun to take photos of her at different stages!ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe sleeping bag from a poncho looks a great idea. Hope it works well for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation! I wish I could sew! Happy weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThe stitching on the shirt looks great.
