I heart denim

I got this super cute heart bottom weight fabric from JoAnn's. I had my husband's grandmother do some embroidering for me for this outfit. She actually did it over the summer when I was doing the back packs for the kids and shorts for the boy.

I did matching short sleeve and long sleeve tees to go with the ruffle pants, which also have her initials on it. :)

They are super cute. I love 'em.

She looks great in it. Can't wait for her to wear it some more.

P.S. Christmas sewing posts coming shortly. Get excited!

Halloween Wear 2014

I made an outfit for my girl for Halloween. I got this super fun haunted house fabric on clearance from JoAnn's. I bought what was left on the bolt.

I used the See & Sew B5904 pattern for the top. Then, I made some matching ruffle pants to go with. Pair it with a simple long sleeve black tee and my girl is ready for some fun. 

Front and back photos. 

I needed more information on how to make the circle yoke, so I searched online for some tutorials and came across a video that was helpful. The video has a circle yoke to it as well, but the back buttons/snaps to the front, whereas mine is attached, so I had to modify my sewing a bit to make it work. Not a bad turnout for the first time making this pattern. I made a size 5. We should be able to get a couple of years of wear out of it.

She really likes the pockets. They kind of look over-sized and I am not sure if I really love them yet. I can't decide if I should keep them or redo them. But for now, they will stay just like that. She will have plenty of room to store her treats. She also has her model face down pat.

Some Fall Sewing: Woodland creatures

I made some outfits for the Fall. Shocker, I know. But, they turned out super cute. So here you go.

First up: Harvest Foxy Forest from JoAnn's--

          "Look, Mommy, I'm a pirate." Ha!    

I made a peasant top/dress with ruffle sleeves, and matching corduroy ruffle pants.

I think she likes the outfit. She got lots of compliments on it when it got cool enough outside to wear it.

Next up we have a woodland friends outfit. 
I made two of these for my friend's girls. My girl just happens to be able to wear the biggest size, which is generally much bigger on the other girl.

I made a peasant top with ruffle sleeves, and green leggings to match. I did make some alterations to the outfits to fit my friend's girls so that they wouldn't drown in all the fabric. They should fit them much better now.

Much more sewing to come, much more sewing to do. :)
