Scrappy Outfits

Now here is where my true scrappy skills were developed.  When my boys were little I made all of their clothes and there was nothing I enjoyed more than making bright and colourful clothes.  As I was really into my patchwork I liked to use some of those skills in this area too and so after making their outfits I would save the leftovers and make more clothes.  Initially I would make clothes simply using a different coloured fabric for each piece but when the scraps became too small for this I would cut 6in strips and combine these to make large pieces of fabric and from this cut their clothes.  I loved the brightness of these items and from this learnt to experiment more with my fabrics in patchwork.
