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!

Sewing Machine Broke...

So, yeah, after I sewed those three dresses for the neighbor, I started to make some hoodies for my own daughter, and my machine broke. :( I was so devastated!!!! So, I had to take it in to get fixed, or, if it's too much money, then I will get a new one. It might be nice to get a new machine. Mine was $70 when bought, and was a great new machine for a beginner like me. That was three year ago, and I have DEFINITELY grown as a seamstress!!!

If I get a new one, I will show pictures of it. I was shopping around a bit today to see what there was available. We'll have to just wait and see. :)

More Dresses!

Made some more dresses! These are for the neighbor's little girl! I can't wait to see her in them!

Polyester Playdress

On our local metro re-use-it group I posted that I wanted some fabric that was up. It was said that it was knit fabric, well, when I picked it up, it was polyester fabric from the 1970s! This stuff is old, but it makes such cute dresses for my daughter to play in. :) The pink rick rack just makes it perfect as well. I am planning on making some of these up for this summer. It was so easy, plus she likes it, and it's not too heavy of fabric. At least I will make use for what I have, and not spend any money on the material.


This tag makes this dress perfect. It says "mama made" and has a mushroom on it. :)

Sewing Clothes Kids Love

I just received my book in the mail today! Did some reading, and now I am ready to tackle at the Feliz Dress!!! I plan on making it for Fourth of July partying! This book was written very well, and, needless to say, I am a bit scared! I do consider myself an intermediate sewer, however, this pattern looks definitely more complicated than what I have ever sewn. I am excited to begin on something new and fun. There are 50 days left of school, so I think I should make a plan to get this dress done in time for school to get out. This way my daughter can wear this all summer long!!! I will keep updated on the progress I am making with this dress. :) Wish me luck!
