Boy shirt and cocoon dress

I wasn't finished showing you my black and white creations that I made with the fabrics from Droomstoffen. Here you can find post one, two and three on the topic. I have not much to tell you about the last two garments I sewed, so I decided to just bundle them in one post (and because I am sewing like crazy lately and want to avoid posting to often).

The first one is a shirt for my son. I drafted the shirt myself. I wanted something new and fresh, but with hindsight it looks surprisingly similar to the Zo Geknipt 2 shirt. You probably noticed I am trying to prepare our wardrobes for summer. It is still a while away, but I want to avoid sewing garment that will hardly be worn because they will be outgrown next season. And I do not want to get surprised by the gap in my kids' closet, where the summer clothes should have been.

The other garment I made is the Cocoon dress from Heidi and Finn. It was released approximately the same time (but slightly earlier) than this pattern with the same name. I did not change anything, yes I am also surprised, the pattern even came with pockets! It does explain why I have not much to say about it. *update* I just realised that I dropped the back zipper and finished the arm holes and neckline different than explained in the manual! I should have used the contrasting white fabric and the bottom, then the sleeves would have been the same as the bodice. The dress was a bit short for my taste, so I hemmed it with an extra piece of jersey.

If you feel the itch to make your own black and white wardrobe, make sure you check out the webshop here or immediately check out the black and white selection.The crosses and the geometric fabric seem to have been sold out already, but the penguins are here.

I love to hear what you think of my creations. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).
