SNS #29-31 A few more for 8 yo girl

Here is a simple t-shirt from KS Sewing for Children. Instead of doing a ribbed collar, I just folded the neck edge in 3/8 inch and coverstitched it for a wider-necked look. I received this striped interlock in a trade. I'm not sure what color shorts I should make to go with it. The shirt has red, pink, orange, and yellow stripes. I think I have solid fabric in all those colors. I wonder what would look best?



And here is another tank top from Ottobre 2/2005 (size 140). I used an awesome soft, stretchy cotton/lycra stripe that I actually found at Wal-Mart a couple years ago. I bought all they had! The fabric has four way stretch, so for interest, I cut the binding parallel to the selvedge so the stripes would be opposite (at least at the neck). The cropped pants are made from a soft drapey twill from www.fabricmartfabrics.com (came in a bottomweights bundle). Pattern is the basic pants pattern from KSSFC, shortened by five inches.



Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous! Love the tank and pants combo, the neckline looks great. I *personally* would pick orange for the shorts outfit, but that's because I'm weird. Pink would probably look really nice!

I have some of that pink striped jersey - I would do any of the colors you said, or even do them all so she always has a pair to match!!

I love the contrasting stripes on the tank - looks really nice that way!

Allison, you are absolutely right...it is a jersey! I don't know why I typed interlock. LOL Both stripes are jerseys...the first one is all cotton, the second is cotton/lycra.

I don't think that's weird. I was going to suggest orange or yellow--to pull out the colors in the top
