We're all going on a City Holiday~ Clever Charlotte Finch shorts Oliver+S Class Picnic blouse Oliver+s Field Trip tee Vogue 8759 shirt OOP Vogue 1753 top and shorts

The Fab Three were going off to camp.

In the past,the city camp was 'school uniform' required,so I went on a uniform sewing session a few months back.
However,the 'powers that be' decided to make this one casual.
Slight problem,not enough smart things for hot weather.
These children grow!

The oliver+s Field Trip Tee is proving a firm favourite in our house. This is a size 12 in a very stretchy lycra knit.
The Clever Charlotte Finch Shorts are another frequently requested item.
These are a size 8. They are quite a roomy fit considering my Twins wear a size 12 O+S bottoms.
I used a medium weight drill.

Another O+S pattern the Class Picnic Top is a very smart little piece,offering good sun protection. This is a size 12 which has plenty of room and the slighty higher yoke will give ease for a bust.
The fabric is from Tula Pinks Parisville collection.
The shorts are the lovely Finch,again in cotton drill.

The same combination of patterns,this time is shot cotton for the blouse and a lovely soft linen for the shorts.
Different fabrics give a completely different look.

I sewed another Field Trip tee in some buttery soft City Weekend interlock to wear with some lilac Finch shorts.

And Elsa requested a lemon coloured ribboned trimmed belt.

This was simply some cotton webbing with two D rings salvaged from an old school bag.

Hugo picked a vintage pattern and chose some hanky linen for the shirt and a linen/cotton mix for the shorts.
Giving the stinking hot weather it was a good choice in hind sight.

Hugo is more a shirt then a tee man. This Vogue 8759 style is BullRush shirting was a good fit and looked snappy paired with the Vogue 1753 shorts in a taupe linen.

I finished up with three new pillowcases as I was not too keen to send them off with my nice white ones.

Despite the hot weather they had a blast.
Unfortunately,Elsa twisted her ankle iceskating and is still on crutches and Hugo will have a fine scar where he split his cheek falling minute later.
Both still agree it was a great camp.

Many thanks to the teachers and parents that helped out.
