More lullaby baby

This time I made a complete baby set out of the lullaby patterns for my new grandson due in June. It so fun to make little things. I made a 3 month onsie out of a truck brown/blue print. I love the print and wish I had more. That was the last of it! Then I made a basic hat and pants out of blue knit fabric from chez ami. I plan to make more as time allows, so stay tune.

Knight Jacket Pattern

I love this colorful Jacket I made my grandson, so alive with color and  with little boy vehicles all over it in a patchwork print. The Jacket is from Puperita Knight Jacket at https://www.etsy.com/listing/157938724/new-knight-hoodie-jacket-or-raincoat?ref=shop_home_active_7. It is fully lined with flannel on the inside and light cotton twill on the outside, with cute orange side zippers for little treasures and a orange separating zipper to match. A great spring jacket addition to any child's wardrobe. She has a 20% coupon on any pattern in her store until valentines day!

a Belated Christmas Gift

Well I finished my Granddaughter's Christmas gift and presented it to her a couple of weeks ago. I love the Ellieinspired nonie girl pattern because I can get it in a slim size. Having it in a slim size is very much a plus as Sarah is tall and slender. I am using size 8 right now. I made the top part from cream tone on tone vine print and  cream colored print on red background  cottonfabric for skirt and waistband and embellished it with three small red buttons down the front and red piping around neck.

 It does come in plus and average size as well. Doesn't that sound good! Most of Ellieinspired pattern pieces are interchangeable too! The nonie pattern origninally is sleeveless, so I added sleeves from ellieinspired's butterflydream dress sleeve, and added a tuck waistband, did a gather skirt instead of a pleated skirt, and added length to skirt and sleeves. She really likes it. Long dresses are her thing right now. It keeps her warm and since its cold here right now, long sleeves is a good option too! The pattern has a belero jacket included with short and long sleeves option.

Lullaby baby

The lullaby patterns by Peek a boo patterns is out! and I am excited and ready to make baby things for a new grandchild  and I have already started making items from it. This is a onsie I made for my 16 mo grandson. Its a easy sew. The only thing that took longer for me was putting in the snaps in, only because I just started using them. I just discovered Kamsnaps so I am still practicing getting them in. Once you get them in correctly, it seems they will snap and unsnap well. Kamsnap has a tutorial that helps you along the way on their site too  at http://www.kamsnaps.com/


 

 

Well the onsie fits, and he loves the trucks on them, I say the onsie was a hit!

Ready to Play in the beautiful sunshine!

Butterflybaby flutter top/ Dress

I Love this butterflybaby pattern size 0-24 mo. by tie dye diva. It a very easy pattern. The designer's photo's and instructions were easy to follow. Its a pattern that can be made different ways. I had one idea but after searching in my stash for that idea combination I found this cute rose print and thought it suit this pattern well. You can think of all sorts of color combination and/or add length to make a dress instead of a top. The original top pattern has a band at the bottom, but I wanted to give it a ruffle so it had a similar look to tie dye diva's girl butterfly flutter dress size 2-8. I added a strip of the contrast color to the ruffle before I gathered and sewed it to the bottom of the dress. I think it will make a  great gift! I know I will eventually make another.

Some homemade Gifts

Family homemade Christmas Gifts

All 3 teenage grandsons plus my son received hats from  Tie Dye Diva Pattern made out of  fleece fabric. And all the women received a buttercup bag I modified from a free pattern from  http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/02/free-buttercup-bag-sewing-pattern/ and the smaller children each got a pair of pjs made from either a peekaboo pattern shop or Oliver and S.

The hat is a very quick sew, instructions are great and my grandsons and son said it is a comfortable hat. This hat is going to be retired soon  and Tie Diva pattern shop is having a bundle sale of 11 of her soon to be retired patterns, so make sure you check out Tie diva Pattern link and see what others items are included with her hat bundle before they are gone.

My daughter talked me into making a fleece pullovers for her boys and she supplied the fabric after Christmas. So the 6 year old received a peekaboo crew neck pullover which I modified by leaving off the waistband and I added a hat to match from Tie Dye Diva Pattern.

As you can tell he is a 49r's fan. He was leaving today so I made sure I got a quick photo of  him wearing his tie diva hat and peekaboo crew neck fleece pullover. The sun was pretty bright at the time so he looks like his squinting. The fabric is from Joanne's Fabric Store. The fabric is very soft fleece!

A Holiday Skirt

Love this sugarplum skirt pattern! Went together really well. Its made from a tiedyediva pattern. 100% cotton. size 4 you can find the pattern at  Tie Dye Diva Patterns.   or you can purchase the above skirt I made in my etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/listing/170065459/blue-tonal-snowflake-skirt?ref=shop_home_active. Thank you for visiting. Come back again soon!

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.
