These are my grandchildren's Easter gifts. I made 12 of these and sold 2. My first sale of anything that I have ever made.

Andrea- I can't wait to see how your top turns out!

I saw the links posted for good places to buy knits. I just ordered some stuff from the Fabric Fairy but I'd never seen the other sites. I also just ordered some knits from the Purple Seamstress on Facebook. I find her system for buying fabrics a little hard to follow but she gets some really pretty stuff!

Don't hold your breath -- I don't even have the pattern purchased yet!

I bought some knits from someone on etsy -- I'd have to look up her name. She had tons -- prices just OK, but sometimes to get what you want you just have to suck it up.

Guess what I just bought at Kmart today for $1.99?

Those are darling!!! I have never seen anything like them before -- very creative ears.

Good job making your own cover! What do you plan to make next?

Well, I had ordered some of that Plaid Mickey fabric and it came today ..... so I thought I might make a cover for my Keyboard Kindle. I think I'll make the one on the pattern with one big pocket with a flap instead of the two small pockets. I'll post a picture if I do!

Did you go and buy some of the turtlenecks? I can't wait to see what you make out of them! I have a blue one that I haven't used yet. I did cut out a portrait peasant dress out of pink sparkly knit fabric that I had bought on Etsy. I thought I got a great deal on it but when I cut out the dress today, there was a large bluish stain in the center of of the dress. I had to throw away that part and re-cut it. I had to waste a lot of fabric so it wasn't such a great deal after all. Maybe I will just stick with buying turtlenecks on clearance! Anyhow, I think I am going to do some lettuce edging at the neckline and then I am not sure if I am going to shirr it or if I will just put in the elastic.

That sounds like it will be really cute! Can't wait to see the picture!

I missed getting the bunny towels to quote but they are super cute!

I just love these outfits! The Mickey safari material is amazing! Where did you find that? You are going to get some great family pictures in these!

Thanks. It was one of the sellers one Etsy. I think it was HIVMAMA or something like that

Very cute outfit. I love the circus print on the shorts. It goes so well with the Dumbo top!

Thanks

Your outfit is great! Amy just bought that Dumbo design so I will be doing it with or for her in the near future -- it's for a teenager though so I don't think your outfit concept will work

No he probably doesn't want the little circus theme. DS6 won't wear it either but DS4 wants it so it is his.

I did make one mistake with the ears. I thought there was another step to put pink fabric down, but there isn't so I just left it all gray with a little pink.

I was a procuctive day in the sewing area! AND I was able to think straight. I got my moms boxy bag done. I noticed a few adjustments I can make for othe ones. But overall I am very pleased. Especially after last nights mess. I also used the fabric from last nights attemp and made her a change wallet. Had fun!!

You have been very productive.

I would be interested if you resell!! I am SO bad at putting things up!

I am terrible about letting go myself. I was all set to start listed last years stuff on CBRG but I couldn't do it. So it is all sitting in a plastic box in the garage.

I've been lurking here for a while, and you all are so talented! I don't have any little ones to sew for, but I ordered a pattern from "You can make this", thanks to the recommendations on this thread. So, here it is, keep in mind that I haven't sewn anything in years

I almost ordered one from Etsy, but I thought I'd try to make one first It's not as cute as the one I was looking at, but it works!

Thanks for all the fantastic ideas and inspiration!

I am so glad you posted. Great job

Oh I like Dumbo! That is such a cute set!

This FB launch is making me think I should join FB.

Thanks... and you should come on over to FB. It really isn't that bad as long as you make sure to keep all your settings private.

This turned out so cute!!! I am in love with this circus print!

Thanks.

I'm so sad, I just had to share. Tyler put on his (and my) most favorite bowling shirt (jack sparrow) this morning and it is too small now.

Aren't they the cutest? I got the mermaid and pirate. I can't wait to get my machine back from repairs. (a minor adjustment and they need it 2 weeks).

Andrea- I made the portrait peasant from knit fabric today. It turned out great! I will post pictures later. It is still wet from where I washed off a bunch of placement marks.

I made stuffed Peep toys for my kids today from a free pattern I found on Pinterest (sooo totally addicted to this site!!). I think they turned out cute! And my kiddos love them!

Those are adorable! I am sure you kids must have been very happy with their new peeps!

Here are the pictures of the portrait peasant dress that I made with knit fabric. I had read on a blog (but I can't remember which one) that you could use patterns for woven fabrics with knit but that you should make one size smaller. So I made a size 4 instead of a 5. That should probably work ok because my SIL always tells me that my niece is a size 5 and she isn't!

Here is a close up of how I did the neck and sleeves. I shirred them and then lettuced edged them. Next time I will do it the other way around, lettuce edging first, then shirring.

Love the bunny towels! I'll have to remember this for next year.
The pink 'Peeps' is really cute, too.
Nicely done, ladies!

I think the smile on your DD says it all...great job!

Thanks for sharing the picture and how you did it. I will keep it in mind for future ideas!


Oh, while I am here, here's a Public Service Announcement:

Please make sure you keep your hands and fingers away from the moving parts of your embroidery machine! I had the misfortune of getting my finger caught under the needle when it was moving. Let's just say (1) I now have some appreciation for what being nailed on the cross must have been like, and (2) it is not something I care to do again. Please don't do what I did!

But looking at it from the brighter side, at least that meant I actually had time to sew today!

 

[Gryffinclaw]

Loved all of your pictures, but this snow white is just precious! How hard was it to modify the peasant into snow white (really it's just doing the sleeves different, isn't it? or am I way off?)????

No modifications needed, the only addition is the red "diamond" shapes I hand appliqués onto the sleeves! It was super easy. I love that pattern. It comes together sooooooo quickly and easily. I prolly could have played with the sleeves to make them a bit "poofier" but I was pretty happy with the end result. And so my little princess, she loves it! And so do her friends at preschool

Day 13 of sewing and my latest creations...

pants/shirt set, shirt using the pillow case top design.

Dress, had to do my first zipper and sleeves. The dress is fully lined.

Now I just have to figure out what is next. Maybe a shirt for my son and try some button holes.

Thanks for the instructions I totally understand what you mean!
Of course, again, WHO am I making these dresses for??? But I file the info away in my brain in hopes of someday having a little girl . . .

Oooh! great shelves!!! I'm jealous of all that space and storage space!!!



QUESTION:

What fabric does everyone use for princesses skin? Do you use a print? a solid? how dark do I go for say, Belle or Cinderella? Speaking of, what material do you use for their hair??? I want to try out some of the applique designs I just snagged and need to gather supplies. . . I've never done any face characters before, only Mickey, etc in my hand appliques. . .
