I first started blogging when I was very inspired by Project Run&Play and their challenges, and needed to link up while I sewed along. Now some of my favorite pattern designers are in the mix (including a couple I’ve pattern tested for) so I felt the need to sew along again!
This week’s theme is Willy Wonka. We randomly just watched the newer version in the yard last week yet still, I went original for the inspiration. Just for the record, however, I’m team remake. Book loyalist that I am, I have to side with the Tim Burton version.
For the big girl, I made an Andromeda top from Sew Straight (Terri’s competing! and it’s the first pattern I’ve ever tested!) out of some slinky gold fabric. Very golden ticket/Gene Wilder I think? The bottoms are crushed velvet Carita Joggers from New Horizons because she needed a touch of velvet to channel Wonka of course. And Carita Joggers are life.
For the mini, I went with Violet Beauregarde. Because this little round thing reminds me of a blueberry anyway 😉 I mashed the Olivia top and Cerena Romper bottom, both from Rebecca Page, and made it from navy liverpool. Somehow all the fabrics I used were from LA Finch. They are like the candy land of fabric perhaps?
Anyway, hope you enjoy! The daughter is disappointed I didn’t make Charlie Bucket at the VERY least for her brother….maybe next time….
