Ellieinspired pattern group had a stashbuster contest and this is one of the items I made to enter. One of the rules was you had to use fabric  from your stash, preferably bought before May 1, 2013.  Well I know I have a stash, so I started looking for fabric I wanted to use. At first I did have something in mind and was looking for that particular fabric when way in the back I found this pretty aqua fabric with pink roses. If you've seen the front my house you know I like pink roses.  Once I saw this fabric I knew I was going to use this fabric and I  was going to use the vintage baby romper pattern. So my sewing adventure began. I made the bodice using the vintage baby romper, the skirt/band using jazzy baby and tie from Nantucket baby pattern , all from Ellieinspired .com. the embroidered rose from custom Keepsakes gals and doll embroidery collection.

I  love the way it turned out! I love the vintage look too! this is size 24 mo.

A few cute outfits

Guess I have not blog in awhile. My husband is progressing each day from his triple bypass surgery. He went to his followup today. Everything seems to be going as it should, so that's good news!

I have been trying to catch up on a few things I had started before his surgery  Like the ruff or ruffle romper, and vintage baby romper, a little dress I put together with three of Ellieinspired patterns and Lucy locket pattern. Below are a few pictures. I love these rompers and I thought the dress turned out so cute! At first I didn't know how I wanted to do it, but little by little it  came together. you can find the patterns used at http://www.ellieinspired.com/pattern-shop/. All fabrics except the knit hoodie rib knit was purchased at Joannes fabric store. the knit was purchased at http://www.banberryplace.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=239_241_263

Cottage Girl

 

This is the cottage girl pattern that ellieinspired has just released. It comes in sizes 1-16. It has the option of short sleeves. sleeveless, and ruffle at shoulder. the dress I made the top is knit and the tiered skirt is made out of woven fabric, embroidered with K font accented with two flowers and a little rickrack underneath. the dress can be made with just knit too!. It is a very fun pattern. I really like it..You can purchase it at http://www.ellieinspired.com/. and/or  you can order it to be made by me! and leave a comment if you would like to order one to me made  and I will show you what fabrics I have on hand to make it with.

mini sporty girl

I tested this cute doll pattern from ellieinspire  http://www.ellieinspired.com/call mini sporty girl, for 15 and 18 inch dolls sizes. My doll is  an  inch  smaller the American girl doll,  (battat , our generation doll) so I did have take it in 1/2 in the fold and sides and hood middle seam. I  thought it turn out well. I  did have a little pair of pants to match but the little item is hiding from me and has not shown up yet!. the original pattern is a dress, but as you can see can be made into a top as well. There is a separate girls sporty girl pattern too. I would like make a top for my granddaughter from the girl version, probably in a solid color. maybe a teal blue.
Update: while I was looking for something I picked up my bag of scraps and off of sudden the bag rips and all the scraps spilled all over the floor (ugh) so I plunge in and started to pick up the scraps and I as I was doing so, I notice the matching pants among all those scraps! The place i didn't think to look! sorry about the color in pictures. still getting the hang of editing pictures.
The pants were made from the mini Snug as a bug Pattern that you saw in another post. The fabric is from Joannes fabric store.
