Zeke's Comfies

Comfies.  That's what my gramps used to call the cozy clothes you put on when you get home.  

Zeke is ALL about "comfies".  He couldn't care less about style most of the time as long as his clothes are soft and fuzzy.  lol

I made him these sweats for his 8th birthday last month because I wanted him to have some clothes that he loved but that also didn't look trashy.  lol  I think I succeeded.  He LOVES them.

The sweatshirt is the Peek a Boo patterns Classic Sweatshirt (hoodie version).  This is my go-to for sweatshirts.  I sized up for this one so he'll hopefully be able to wear it next year too.  

 The pants are the Domi pants pattern from Sofilantjes.  It has several different length options and two pocket options.  I really like the fit of it and plan to make some for the other kids too.  I used sweatshirt fleece for these but you can also use plain knit and make shorts!

The top stitching is my favorite part of these items!  It just adds the perfect pop of contrast.

Hufflepuff!

Hi there!  Thanks for coming back!  Today is July 1st which means it's OFFICIALLY Star Wars month at Crafting Con but I'm still playing catch up from Harry Potter month and doing detailed posts of my outfits.

Today we're up to my youngest daughter and she's in Hufflepuff!  I really love the bright yellow mixed with gray and black in her outfit and she's already worn it several times.  That means she likes it and I consider that a WIN!  

I used the Rio Racerback top and dress pattern from Peek a Boo patterns for her top and modified it to have a panel of stretch lace at the top back.  I just LOVE that touch!

Then I reverse stenciled (more freezer paper stencils cut with my Silhouette here!) HUFFLEPUFF on the back of one side.

I put a badger around the side from the back to the front  too.  

The skort (I didn't get any pictures of the attached shorts, but trust me, they're there!  She isn't known for her modesty at this point and I'd rather not have everyone around getting undie shots all the time.  :p ) is the pinwheel view of the Ashley Knit Skort from Funktional Threads.

I also added an "H" to the skirt for Hufflepuff.  All the fonts here are the Harry P font from www.dafont.com

She loved it (and the wand that her sister made her) and kept running around saying, "Presto!  I just made a... (fill in the blank with anything and everything you can think of!  lol)"

Come back tomorrow for our LAST Harry Potter look!!!
