Kid's Clothes

This week was "clothes week." 

Not that anyone needed any clothes per se, but once the serger is running it's hard to stop it.
Both of my machines have a mind and a will power all their own!


A onsie and skirt for my niece, Claire. She doesn't know it's coming and neither does her mom. :)

This is an older and favorite fabric line of her mother's - Sorbet by Sentimental Studios for Moda. 
Plus, she likes blue for girls. 
Perfection.


A skirt for my little girl from Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille. 
The loveliest aquas and reds in their lines.


Some pants for my little man in the bike print of Lucy's Crab Shack by Sweetwater and in the cars and buildings print of Summersville by Lu Summers.

I can't even begin to explain how much he LOVES seeing these fabrics. 
I'm not sure if he's fully settled with the idea that he gets to wear them and touch them. 
Usually mommy's fabric is such a big no-no. :)


Overall, total success this week in the sewing department. 
Now the quilting department... 
I have a MILLION works in progress. 
Something needs to get finished to save my sanity.

Hope everyone has a good week. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Lemon Meringue


Invisible zipper...

Yellow and white tiny polka dots...



Yellow and white striped knit pants...

Blue skirt...

Green and white polka dot ribbon...



Applique lemons...



Applique lemon pockets...

Polka dot blue and green ribbon bow...


The whole thing...


A friend asked me to make this for her daughter... based on the Lemon Meringue character in Strawberry Shortcake.


What a fun challenge!


I have a strange desire to put lemon pockets on everything now too.

I mean seriously - those things are cute!



The manufacturing of zippered clothing has definitely improved in the last few years. I've actually gotten to the point that I can just do it and not dread it! Ha!


More to post tomorrow - my light went away...


Yes, I personally own rights to the sun.

Weekend Projects

I was feeling a little ambitious/curious about the possibility of making some pants for my little "who" and wanted to get crazy with the serger. The result: two pair of knit pants with double lettuce ruffled edge! I think they turned out nicely (not to mention quickly).

So after some fit throwing she finally let me get a few pics. She's 2 after all...





And a preview for my mom of the pincushion organizer I made for her as a late Christmas hostess present. Thanks for spoiling all of us! In case you just need to make one of these, a free pdf pattern for this organizer can be found
here.


Happy projecting!
