A tiger in the jungle


 
I spotted a tiger in the jungle....
(After earlier sightings of panthers in the woods)
Prawling through the tall grass...
Wild and gracious
With fierce and focused eyes....
and soft and sensitive ears...
Glowing in the late sunlight

Pattern: Adapted Bethioua mini from Ellepuls (free pattern)
Fabric: jersey from local fabric market

Kids Clothes Week: animals all over

Despite a busy week, I'm trying to participate in Kids Clothes Week. This daily hour of sewing is not only a fun challenge, but also a way to relax and unwind.
At least, if everything goes smoothly and as planned. Fortunately, this was largely the case for this little tee.
A while ago I scored this animal fabric at the local fabric market. It's a really nice, thick and high quality knit, and perfect for the theme of KCW (I couldn't find the brand, but found out that it's sold at www.babarum.be in various colorways)
I combined it with some coral/salmon pink for the collar and sleeve cuffs.
As mentioned before, I'm on a mission to introduce more pink in my sons' wardrobes, and I love it. Never having been a big fan of pink, I'm now discovering that there are so many different shades of pink, that can be used in all kinds of color combinations. It has opened a whole new range of opportunities.
Next up, some cool pants for my girl. Let's see how far we can get this week...
