Well, I bet you thought I'd forgotten about my blog! But, with the debut of August, came a boatload of activity and this natural homebody was thrown mercilessly in the brew of much activity! But, I did find time to sew...a little!
Remember this?
Remember this?
It became this!
This cart cover was made using Simplicity Pattern 4225....I love this color combo, I even used it in my little fella's bedroom.....as noted before one of my favs!
What I learned from this..... you need to reinforce the stitching when you trim the area from which the legs come through. I love this cart cover way better than my Eddie Bauer one....this one covers way more.
She (Amy) sent this pic...and said what if "we" (her being the designer and me the
sewer) made this....holding up a skirt to a t-shirt

...so she purchased a medium Hogs bedazzled t-shirt $12 from Walmart... and this copper key, knit tank and skirt, dress. for $8.70 at Dillard's.
I cut the t-shirt approximately in half and detached the knit tank from the skirt and sewed my cut t-shirt and the skirt together and now you have the Hog's Spirit Empire Waist Dress! By jolly gee it worked! Cute huh!
This became....
Three rompers made using Simplicity Pattern #3882 and McCall's Pattern #M6083. The
girl's actually requested I make them a romper...in the day and age of name brand only...they want something handcrafted by me! I was shocked and flattered! I wanted them to all have a different look and I was able to accomplish it. I played and the results were good and I had three very satisfied girls! Oh and the fabric was actually $5.99 a yard at Hobby Lobby, not $6.99.
Austin is modeling the first one....I added fabric flowers, per Austin's request, to the top of the bodice(not pictured)....I modified the waist length for Austin's longer torso....she loved it!

Micaela is modeling this one....I combined Simplicity Pattern #3882 and the
Mcall's PatternM6083 to come up with this number....and crossed my finger and hoped
and hoped...and it worked! And she even rocked it to school!
Tacara is the model in this pic...and I just want to send a shout out to my baby girl.....since I don't have a dressform yet, she is it...thank you baby for your non-patient attitude when I call you, but alas you have to come, because you have no authority in my house...love ya chick! This was made using the McCall's pattern #M6083 . A ruffle was added to the top of the bodice.
Three different looks, for three different girls. Sew that's what been
up in my sewing world! Hmmmm.....what's next!
