2nd attempt MUCH better

Here is the 2nd skirt attempt with the "real" material. I think this one turned out MUCH better but I still need A LOT of practice. I LOVE this material. If you ever need some super cute material and are in the Denver area Fancy Tiger is the place. :)

First skirt attempt

The skirt inside out.

I bought some really cute material to make Zana a Easter skirt, BUT before I made it with the nice material I bought some cheap "test" material. It turned out OK. It is a little big despite shortening the elastic and taking in twice. Good to know that I need another 1/2" off the elastic and 1/2" off each side. Practice makes perfect right?!?!?!

Don't mind her huge dirty white shirt. :D

With all that said I am very pleased with how well the inside turned out though!

Pants for Ewan, can you believe it?!?!

The completed outfit!




I finally finished Ewan's pants. I thought the best way to showcase them was to have my little man model them himself. These were fun to make and I LOVE the material. Don't mind the polar bear shirt, I could not wait to try them on polar bear shirt and all. I am making a cute shirt to go with these pants.

All these babies!

I have another friend who is having a boy so I sewed up this nursing cover. I am going to make her some baby shoes with the left over material too. Don't look at the gross faux wood-paneling in the background of my sewing room. Hopefully this summer we will get a new basement and rid of the faux paneling.

* In progress is a skirt for Zana and some pants for Ewan.......wish me luck! ;)

Shoes #2

So a lady in my ward asked me to make a pair of baby shoes for her new granddaughter and I just LOVE how these ones turned out so I had to share. I know it is not something different BUT I am in the process of sewing something new and will hopefully be done and have it posted sometime this week. ;)

Baby Shoes for a Friend.

So my new sewing project was to make some baby shoes for a friend of mine who just had a baby girl. Here is how they turned out.
