Corduroy pants

I really liked the way this pattern went together. Very easy to follow instructions and Photos. This is made with black corduroy and the lining and contrast is made with a cotton red/black paw print. I am not use to putting lining in pants but putting it in was not as hard as I thought it would.  I love the little details like the cuff on the bottom of pant with buttons and the fake pocket in back with buttons. My grandson is small around so the pants are little big for him right now, But its always nice to have something for them to grow into when they seam to grow so fast. I made a size 6 mo.

Another winter pj set and Vest Jacket


The last two months have been birthday months. This little fellow turns 5 today. It was celebrated on Thursday. I gave him this Peek a boo Pattern (Great Outdoor Vest) Thursday along with his Winter PJs. I made it out of Blue Sweat Shirt Fleece Fabric  and line with a printed flannel for extra warmth for  the cool fall days. This jacket vest can be made reversible using a reversible zipper, but I onlyhad a separating zipper for one side so that what I used this time.

This is the first Peeka booPattern I have made for him and its seems to fit good. size 4T. I definitely love this pattern! I have not been one to  line jackets but I love the finish look to it and want to do more lined jackets. Next time one with sleeves.

The Rosalie Tee

Here is another peekaboo pattern I have  tried out. My granddaughter really like the Rosalie ruffle T  that can be found  here at http://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/product/rosalie-ruffle-tee-3-mos-12-years.  Her mother wanted her to have a neutral color to go with a lot of things. So since I had some white t shirt fabric, I did my first one in that color. I love the way the  ruffles look. The pattern said to use Jersey so the ends curl, but I didn't want the ruffles to curl and interlock knit does not curl. Interlock is thicker than jersey so the neckline where the ruffle was sewn to was a little thicker than I like. I do think the shirt turn out good and it looks good on Sarah. I would definitely like to make another one!

A few fall projects

Fall is upon us with cooler mornings now so its time to make warmer clothing for my grandchildren. I have been trying out different patterns from different designers. there are so many to choose from that it is hard to decide what to make first.  As you can tell I have started out with a hooded pullover fleece jacket with a lined hood and a pair of knit pajamas size 12 mo, both are pdf patterns from peek a boo patterns shop . According to his mom,  they both fit great. Fabric is  from Joanne fabrics. I think next time I  will add a little more around the neck so it will go over his head a little easier. Doesn't he look happy!pictures by his mother. she takes great pictures!
