Upon finally wearing this dress for more than just a few pictures for me, Anya decided she rather liked it. It is a comfy twirly dress, with the added bonus of a big flower. I rather like it, as well. It isn’t too complicated to make and it mixes wovens and knits together for an […]
Anya’s upcoming 1st Grade Performance is apparently going to be “How does your garden grow”. I think this would be a great dress for her to wear to it, with all the spring colors and flowers. She told me she prefers the black and white dress I made earlier, though. We shall see… Just in […]
This outfit is sorta from something she picked out of a catalog (Garnet Hill). She wanted some shorts and a top, but I did them in different colors and slightly different styles. The shorts are linen, so they should breathe nicely this summer. It was just a simple shorts pattern, with a ruffle added along […]
Well, it was more sewing for Anya this week. This first one is a “sorta” tiered-maxi skirt for her out of fabric that I have had in my stash for quite awhile. I made a maternity skirt out of it, originally, and this skirt used up the rest of the fabric. It isn’t a stretchy material, […]
When I saw this dress in the CWD Kids magazine, I thought it would be a great summer dress for her. She even agreed! It is a mix of knit and woven, so I have a placket on the back. The neck binding is woven, and I figured that it needed extra give on the […]
I did end up getting a few more dresses sewn up, so I will post my other outfit that I made for Anya last week. No pictures of her in it, yet. I’m sure I will get some this summer, though. I bought some chiffon knit on fabric.com to sew up some cute little skirts […]
I actually did get some sewing in this week, amazingly enough. Of course, that meant that I did not work out much at all because I can’t sew in the evening AND work out. Non possible! Here are the fruits of my labor. These dresses are destined for an orphanage in Haiti. The Girl was […]
I got a chance to use some more of that fabric that has been sitting in my closet for a long time. For these first two tops I used a shirt I had bought as the pattern. This first one is using a sweater knit. It is a thinnish sweater, so it definitely needs something […]
I spent the first few days of vacation last week working for a bit. That was fun. Not! Anyways, after getting a few things out the door for work, I was able to concentrate on the LOADS of sewing stuff I hadn’t been able to get to lately. First up was finishing the teacher gifts. […]
My To-Do list is acquiring epic proportions. Thanks to Pinterest. Thanks also to my lack of getting anything done lately. Thankfully, I squirreled away some time across a few weekends to get a few things off my I-want-to-try-this list. Project #1 I had these tiles left over from tiling the kitchen a few years ago. […]
