Cassie had kindly taken in the four girls' outfits I'd made previously, and I'd asked her if she could please get any feedback. She reported back that apparently outfits for twins were particularly needed. I wasn't sure whether this was a hint that the outfits be identical, or just matching?? anyway I took a punt on making an identical set. Well, I should say more accurately, near identical. I'm personally quite big on having things matching without being exactly the same ... so I made the tiniest little difference in my twin-set. Can you see it?? :)
For these boys' sets I went to Spotlight for the fabrics.... and oh man, yuck. The selection of cottons in my local Spotlight at the mo is just awful, unfortunately, and I just had to do the very best I could. I agonised to find something boyish that I even halfway liked. Actually, I've always found it a lot harder to find good boys' prints, even back when my own two boys were tiny tots and I was sewing stuff for them. Anyway, I tried to pick prints and colours that I would have chosen for Tim and Sam. I used to like dressing them in red and blue, and so that's how it's going on here!
Details!
