Little Bea

This is a cute little jumper, it was the first time I have had to follow a non english pattern so I just put it together how I thought it should go... :)

Kids clothes...

The groova got some shorts a while back..
This crazy fabric came out of my mums stash from when we were kids...fun!


Little miss got a new purple stretch denim skirt and a cute top.
I am most impressed with my zipper efforts.. getting so much better..yay for me
the purple denim was out of mums stash so sadly limited, and I wish I had of bought more of the pink stretch when I could... but really how much is too much?


I used press studs instead of buttons because Taegan says they are easier... makes my job easier too.. :)

Ok just dooo ittt!!!

Jeebus it has been ages since I have updated anything...I have been such a slacker since Christmas. I didn't want to put anything up until I had given everyone their gifts...
Anyhoo it is late so I will try to make sense..

I got the Olivia pattern FINALLY and I love it, so cute and so easy and so fun to make...
I made one in a size 2 and the other in a size 6ish..

Quinn was really not happy to model a dress for me.... poor kid the things he does for his mama..!





I can see me making lots more of these......


I made for the little brother of the first Olivia a pair of Ottobre Aqua shorts, they come together really nice..

I am sure I have made more over the last month I just need to think...haha

Boys Birthday Pressy.. Circus time :)

I try to make presents rather than go out and buy plastic cheap crap that will last a week, so for a little boy turning 3 I made a circus outfit..
I made these shorts last week after finding this gorgeous circus fabric from Spotty, then appliquéd a plain yellow T.. I think the out fit looks great aside from the issues I had with the appliqué...hmmm


The applique goes from the front around to the back..
note to self- avoid appliqué on the sleeve of an already constructed garment!! duh...

Hoody

Central Vic feels like it has had an iceberg hit, it is freezing here....brrrrrr
Quinn has been growing so much that all his jumpers are too short for him and I have been wanting to make this little Otto pattern for ages...very cute!



Aren't we cute......

Crazy op shop fabric

I'm still not sure about this fabric, it gives me flash backs of happy pants!!


It was $2.50 for 2 mtrs and there were 2 lots so I had 4 mtrs to put to jimjam use.. I used one of my mums old long sleeve T's as the ribbing, her tops are usually still in great nick to re-use into other stuff..

I have made another two pairs for some other little fellas that are the same age as Quinn.. :)

So what horrible flash backs do you get when you look at this fabric..? haha

Cute pinni and pants!!

I think they are cute anyhoo.. I am a really bad photographer but thats ok I sew not take photos for hobby.. haha thank goodness!!
This is out of another Ottobre magazine, 1/08 I think.
I love the way they turned out although I really have to learn to read the destructions because I seem to get ahead of myself and miss important steps..LOL never mind only a little bit of unpicking.
While I was outside taking really bad shots I had a baby magpie come and say hello, there is a mum and two babies that come in everyday to see if there is any cat food left in the bowl but since Obar the staffy figured out he could jump onto the table the cat is lucky to even get some..poor Mishka!!
here is a cute pic of baby maggie...



And here is a really bad pic of a really cute outfit...


Maybe I need to ask santa for a new camera!!

Girly Skulls :)

I love pink and black together on girls, I have wanted to make this for awhile but haven't because I don't have a little, little girl, Taegan is growing out of the cutesy sizes.. But one of Dons friends is in love with the skull knit and has been asking me to make something for his little girl for months, so I hope he likes it!!
I managed to find a stray battery lying around to swap with one in the camera, I managed to get 2 extra pics..LOL yes people I still haven't got batteries..I cant even manage to get everything that I put on a shopping list let alone remember to put things on the darn list!!

This is another little Ottobre dress, I am feeling depressed that I haven't been able to update my subscription due to lack of fundage!! :(

stuff doing..

I have made some stuff in the last few months, just not much, in between kids, life and sewing machines that are having emotional breakdowns!!grrr

Summer JimJams for the chidlets.. :)



A pair of Otto pants for Taegans half sisters birthday... I think these are really cute!
Front view...
Back view...
I finally finished Daisy's(Taegan's cousin) little Otto outfit.
Quinn before he had a hair cut looks so pretty as a model.. haha Don didn't think so, he made him a sign.. :p


Taegan got a pettiskirt as part of her birthday present, she also got her ears pierced, she has been asking me for years and I finally agreed.. :o
Some little Otto shorts, these are a great little pattern and look cute as on, I think Quinn will be getting more of these for summer.. :)

Shopa's Tablecloth..!

This was some fabric a friend had used as a tablecloth for a shabby chic theme, and this is what I have done with some of it while the child slept... yep thats right he had a nap!!! whoot
I think he is coming down with a cold!!!
Quinn is my lovely model again, he is at the age where dresses don't bother him, Don tells me he is going to be at an age that he wont let me use him as a model soon, or with pink dresses anyway!!

Yay Batteries!!

Ok here is the little dress with shorties for Stace's neice.. these wont fit her untill Summer..

And here is a close up of the rainbow fabric.. it is so cute.. I used green and purple thread on the binding, I dont think you can see it too well with my camera..

More sewing..I will call it my Stacey Session..

I am sewing for a friend of mine who has a new niece, so I will be calling what I make for her Stacey Sessions..LOL
I really hope they like what I am making..
The first item was a little pirate suite..

Then I made a little Romper out of the latest Otto..And I have made a little dress with shorties but I cant post them until Don comes home with batteries for the camera!
