Peekaboo Peyton Cocoon Cardigan

While Singapore's weather is mostly really hot and "summery", whenever we go indoors to shopping malls or libraries, the air conditioning is usually really cold. 

I wanted to make my girl a cardigan for some time now. To keep her warm when we go indoors. 

I finally settled on a quick sew - the Peekaboo Peyton Cocoon Cardigan. 

I made this with vintage knit fabric with little stretch. It turned out really cute! 

I liked how everything came together and it helps that this is such a fast sew too. I could cut it out with the projector and sew it up during her nap time, and have her wear it on a trip to the library when she woke. Yay for fast sews!

Do you like the silhouette of the cardi? I kinda want one for myself too! 

S.U.A.T Archer and Artemis Tank

It's SUMMER all year round in Singapore so tanks are always a favorite of the kids. I had the chance to make 2 different tank patterns from Stitch upon a time for my little ones to twin and I'm so happy that they look so good in them! 

My boy is modelling the Archer Tank which is a unisex racerback tank that is incredibly fast to sew. In fact, it is so so fast that he already has 3 such tanks in rotation in his wardrobe! My girl's modelling the Artemis Girls Top and Dress which is a racerback that can be a cute tank or a circle skirted dress. Both tops are made with Cotton Lycra from Spotlight. 

The racerback Archer tank is a lovely quick sew. You can see from the photo that the armhole fits quite well - you have to grade properly though! For example, my boy is stick thin (We DO feed him!! It's genes lol) so his chest is 3T while his height is 6T. I had to grade it according to the instructions in order for the tank to fit nicely - so please don't skip grading!

The Artemis top has a super cute feature behind:

I love it! The gathered back made the outfit really adorable (Quick note: I graded the top to be a little longer than is necessary cos she likes the armscye of her tank tops lower but if u did the tank according to instructions, the armscye doesn't go so low!)

Look at how pleased she is! 

And now I shall spam you with 2 more photos of the lovely duo. 💗
