Vintage Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited sewing project

A sleepshirt made with Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited

What to do when your father needs a new sleepshirt and the shops have none? Sleepwear needs to be roomy and comfy - just like the sweatshirts in this book. 

So I traced off the sweatshirt pattern and lengthened it. Initially I intended to make the crew neck version but after cutting the neckband and sewing the ends together it looked so small. I tried it on and even on me it was snug, so I recut the neckline as the V-neck. 

The cotton spandex fabric was a nuisance to lay out flat and fold but did sew and overlock easily. 

The cutest sloth to sew

 Last post I shared a promotion from Creative Fabrica. They have lots of useful things to inspire the crafter, creator and people who like to make things. Did you know they also have a sewing section?

This cute sloth is one of the many sewing and craft patterns available on Creative Fabrica. This particular pattern is only available to subscribers but there are others that you can purchase. This post contains affiliate links meaning I may receive a small payment if you purchase anything on the link, cost to you is the same. Link to felt sloth page.
