I am hosting Crafty Tuesday this week since Carrie is gone to Hawaii. Lucky ducks! I love Hawaii, and hopefully someday we can brave the 8 hour flight again and take the kiddos. I think they would love to swim with the sea turtles, which was exceedingly cool. The whales weren’t too bad either.
I thought I would share some stuff I made for moi. I was selfish and spent some of my precious little sewing time on making some clothes for me for summer. I definitely have enough fabric for several new wardrobes…..errrrr…outfits for me. 😉
First up we have this lovely green and white outfit that I made a few weeks ago. Just simple knits, and the green and white one is super light. No patterns were harmed in the making of these pieces…so it was the usual cut and sew and see how it turns out.
Next are some shorts for Kailan. I still have to make some of the tops to go with them, yet. Last week I entered the hallowed halls of the fabric store and found some super duper cute fabric for shirts for Kailan. Oh, he was happy with the choices. I have the shirts cut and ready to rock and roll, so hopefully by next week I will have some more boy stuff to share.
These are from the shorts pattern I used before, only I redrafted it to have the front pockets enclosed underneath. I like it better that way. The tops that go with them are just tanks I bought last Fall on clearance with an applique on it. I had three cut out at once so I made them assembly line fashion. Much quicker that way!
Anya is feeling a bit left out, but I’m sure I will get to her soon. I at least need to make her a 4th of July outfit, right?? I think she will just be getting a twirl skort or a simple shirred halter dress. We’ll see.
What does everyone else have to share this week?
Cute stuff, as usual Miss Stacy!! Hmmm, my crafty thing this week? I made a baby!
WoW! Have you been busy! I would rather have seen the outfit on YOU though 🙂
Nothing from me this week, unless writing exams is crafty?
Those motorcycle shorts are awesome! I bought some fabric to make the taggy blanket you posted about ages ago. May get to that sometime soon. While at the fabric store we asked W.W. if he wanted Grandma to make him another set of pjs which sounded good to him. But then he refused to pick a fabric. So he’s still wearing the flannel ones she made him for Christmas in July!
I’ve been sewing for M a lot lately. I really like to applique more than I like to sew. I’ll have to take pictures of M in her outfits and post them. I just don’t have any desire to sew for myself. Perhaps because it will take too much fabric! I really like the outfit you did for yourself! Nice!
Oh my… hands down that first outfit you made for yourself is my favorite. I’m on such a green and lime and (what is that snooty name for the bright yellow and green combination? chartreuse or something?) kick. Those are super cute!
OHHHH!! Thanks for hosting, first of all! Hawaii was amazing, but we are trying to re-acclimate now…it is a little rough!
I too LOVE that green/yellow color right now! And I’m continually amazed that you did that without a pattern?! You truly are a sewing goddess, my friend.
I have some great material that I’m itching to sew something with – maybe i’ll attempt a dress or skirt for me this week…maybe.
