Pattern Giveaway!!!

A blog I follow is doing a pattern giveaway! She would like to give one away before Christmas, so here is your chance to enter. All you have to do is become a follower of her blog! It's easy! When she gets to 25 she will pick someone. :)

Here is her link: http://ihearttosew.blogspot.com/

If you become a follower, be sure to tell her wheelerclothbaby sent you! I will get another chance to win a pattern, and I have been eyeing that dress pattern of hers for SOOO long!

Thanks!

Take One!

With all this pattern testing, I thought to myself, "I can do this!" I decided to try at making a dress of my own for Miss Danica for next summer. There are some alterations that I can think of after this first draft, but hey, it's not bad for my first one! I would like to eventually make more sizes, offer my own testing, and then sell the pattern in my etsy. But, that is WAY in the future! I first need to perfect her size.

I'd like to know your thoughts on this dress. As I said, it's my first of drafting my own pattern, so it's definitely not perfect by any means. What are your thoughts?

1. Do you like the style?

2. Would you buy a pattern like this, and sew it yourself?

3. Would you like it to be reversible?

4. What sizes would you like to see?

Let me know your thoughts! I will update as I make more, and alter it to fit. :)

Lots of Stuff!

I am testing a pair of longies pattern for someone, and she loves them! I think they turned out great as well!

Don't mind the messy face! Had to get quick pictures of this! This is our Christmas dress this year. Love it to pieces! It's so soft and adorable on her!

I got the Redondo Pattern awhile back, and thought I would make a skirt for my daughter. I made this awhile ago, just now getting to post about it. Do you think she likes it??? She calls it her twirly skirt!

You've just got to love that smile!

Etsy Sale!!!

I am having a sale over at my Etsy store! I am doing 25% off everything in the store as is right now, as well as any custom orders until December 19th! Come over and take a look! See something you like and want a custom order? Send me a message over at Etsy, I would be glad to make it in time for the holidays!

I've Been Busy!!!

Some of the things I have been working on the last few months!

Finally sewed that Feliz Dress! :)

Tunic Tops for Danica!

Made my first pair of longies! They are scrappy longies made out of scraps "literally" of various types of yarn.

Crocheted shorties.

Another dress for Dani!

I couldn't resist this one! It's too cute, even though I don't have any babies to put it in!

Hoodie for Jeremiah!

Dinosaur t-shirt for Jeremiah! He loves dinosaurs!

Here she is wearing her new longies! She is potty trained, so not using as a cover, but they make GREAT pajama bottoms for this upcoming winter!

Some Knitting

I've recently gotten into knitting as well! This is my first "real" knitting project that Danica can actually wear. I hand dyed the yarn myself and just love how it knitted up. The kids and I also dyed some yarn together the other day, will have to make another post about that! :)

All in all, I think it turned out, but it is a bit shorter than I had planned on it being, I didn't want to run out of yarn for the hat, and I almost did! But, with a pair of jeans for the fall, this will be an awesome top!

Imke Hoodie and Dortje Pants

Made a hoodie and pants for my little girl today! The pattern is from the Sewing Clothes Kids Love book. I still have yet to make that Felix Dress. Anyways, the shirt is adorable on her, and she LOVES the pants. She was so happy to find that she had pockets in her pants. :) The material for the fabric is from that polyester fabric I received awhile back. They actually make great pants! I am going to make her some more of these pants, especially for daycare, as all she is going to do is run around in them and get them dirty anyways!
