I wanted hello kitty fabric but didnt like the ones I saw at hobby lobby/michaels and when I went thrifting I saw a small kid's dress for $4 just sparkling at me lol! I got two scrub caps out of it: a regular scrub cap and a pony tail one. The light blue satin is just a flat bedsheet I've had for a while and don't use at all. I followed Meghan Grace's DIY scrub cap tutorial on YouTube. This was fun! A nice break from trying to pattern make/ draft garments and stressing myself out 😂 tried my best to iron the shirred part of the dress but I'm not too bothered by it

Really proud of this set! There was a lot of firsts with this. I've been trying to make a nice pair of pants that's fitted from my hips to the lower thigh, but never fully finished a pair. Only worked with like pj pants or stretchy knit pants until I kind of understood how pants worked. I drafted my own pattern with measurements and watched a bunch of YouTube videos and I think I finally made a pattern I like. The pants in the stores are never flared enough for my liking so I wanted to make my own.

Top: I used my bootstrap fashion dress form to drape fabric on her and make the pattern. Also needed some adjustments. Should have used a lining; I only added fusible interfacing to stabilize the button hole & button area but I was over this shirt at that point lol. Looking back I should have made another button so it doesn't show my stomach so much

Pants: first time doing front pockets, a zipper fly, and curved waistband 😭 honestly just glad I went for it. 2 things - there seems to be some baggyness at the pockets under the waistband and also my waistband on the right side started curving and twisting when I sewed it. I used fusible interfacing and I'm wondering if I folded my waistband down wrong or if there was excess fabric? Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated so I can learn and do better when I make my next pair of pants. But hey I also attempted to stitch in the ditch for the first time too so 😅

I've learned so much from this sub and I love seeing everyone's projects. Also added my DIY tag to make it look more complete :)
