cutest slippers ever!
I haven’t posted these yet, officially, but you saw them here, and I think they deserve their own post. I searched Ravelry for cute slippers, THAT WOULD STAY ON HER FEET.these were SOOOOO cute, and, perhaps because of the felting?, they stay on her feet! the free pattern is right here, and I have to […]
Katie’s Baby Girl…
needs a new dress. Juse because. My friend Katie liked this dress I made for the Bean….Because she’s as cute as a button. The pockets are just a regular bagged-rectangle, with the top folded over and sewn down with the fake button Because elastic shirring is cute and fun. Katie supplied the fabric, and I LOVE […]
Dinosaur heat-transfers…
Ok, I’m finally getting a chance to write the stuff to go with the pics I posted yesterday! phew! One of my bestest (yup, that’s a word) friends from college (and one of my daughter’s godfathers), is going to be a dad around the end of the summer… He’s been great at discussing dinos with […]
Tatting for KCWC…
If I can do a whole long chain of this tatted lace, it's going on the collar of a coat for the Bean…
practice and improvement…
My awesome friend Erin (Hi Erin!) gave me a bunch of old t-shirts (really old ones for D’s school), to play with…given my recent wadder pile o’knits, I decided to practice with some 90-minute shirts. love love love this handsome boy I’m actually happy with the result! HOORAY! I could fiddle with the pattern a […]
Voila! (aka KCWC day 5)
here it is, in all it’s glory, on my daughter…. I love how forlorn she looks in this picture. It’s because I put her down. she is big into being carried right now. Cute, right? oh wait, what’s this? Of course, right when I got it on her (she was Roo to D’s Tigger all […]
another dress for the Bean (shocking, right?)
I CANNOT WAIT TILL DAYLIGHT. this dress is KILLING me with it’s cuteness. I didn’t have enough of the blue contrast (yes, I could buy more, these fabrics are from the new line of DS Quilts from Joanns, but that’s not challenging enough) to do square pockets, so I cut my scrap into very careful […]
KCWC day 4
I had a parent meeting last night for D’s school, so I didn’t get to sew much…. but in the a.m., while D was at school, I made these pants. These are C’s old pants… (I’m actually not sure what was wrong with them, but they were in my refashion pile, so…uh…. I *hope* I […]
KCWC day 5
I found this tutorial/pattern in the Elsie Marley KCWC Flickr pool, and HAD to make it. I totally didn’t have enough of this awesome (hoarded for >2 years) fabric, though…. So I cut VERY carefully, and used a coordinating solid to line and back the pockets… I used my favorite peasant top (scaled down, to […]
on a roll…. sorta
My goal, after KCWC ends, is to master knits. I struggle with them soooooooo very much. this one was just a 2o minute play dress idea, so I don’t mind (too much) that it’s sloppy. It’s just a peasant dress, without the sleeves, attached to a shirred circle. It has pockets, of course. One is […]
