I had a funeral to attend and it was a very last minute on being able to go, I literally had nothing in my closet that i felt suitable for my grandpas funeral, so I went thru my fabric stash, found some scuba knit that i liked and found a pattern that I liked with some minor changes, pattern was not in my size but it gave me a basis to draft my own, so i set out to draft my own pattern incorporating the changes that i wanted to include, sleeveless and no turtle neck and a high low hem line. 8 hours later this dress was ready for the next morningParagon of creativityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16280037063227675736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322159165036065544.post-41214949086748332612016-08-09T15:18:00.001-07:002016-08-09T15:18:16.639-07:0070's housewife to cool mom<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found this really shapeless dress at a church rummage, while I absolutely adored the fabric, which had these bright little fish on them, the dress had no shape, it was pretty sad, almost nightgown looking, it really just hung there sadly. I of course grab it soon as i saw the bright fabric and fish, I just couldnt wait to get the dress home and breathe some new life into the garment, extend its life. <br />

Makes me feel pretty special too. Anyway she asked me if i would be interested in making a tshirt quilt for her if she sent me all the tshirts that she would like to be incorporated into the quilt and that she would like it to be atleast a full sizes quilt. I had never done a tshirt quilt but thought sure why not i had done several other quilts just not s tshirt one. So i accepted the order and waited a few weeks for the tshirts to arrive and then got to work, there were 35 tshirts total that i recieved to work with and only one wasnt suitable to use in the quilt. I cut and trimmed and stabilized and stitched for several days both the front and the back of the quilt were done with tshirts. I absolutely love the end results too and would love to keep the quilt for myself but alas it will be mailed out this weekend to the client<br />

"head in the clouds" quilt (#rachelrossidesigns) was pretty easy to construct as long as you read the directions carefully, i, at first, skimmed the directions and assumed in knew what was going on and stitched two pieces wrong and had to make quick friends with my seam ripper, thankfully it wasnt a huge issue and one that i was able to catch early. This quilt has so many color combination possiblities along with the vast choices of quilting stitch options when you are finished piecing it. I did not have any quilt batting on hand so i used a layer of cotton flannel for the core. I mitered the corners of the binding which for some reason is always a challenge for me but i was able to get it done. See photos below of my progress and results.<span id="goog_1556536398"></span><br />

I have been testing a pattern for ckc "celeste" boatneck dress pattern this past couple weeks, it passes my daughters "princess" standards, I personally am not a fan of 3/4 sleeves but my daughter loves the dress so it doesnt matter. The dress was a fairly easy sew up for me except lining the bodice was a bit tricky for me but i did get it done.<br />

I made my son some shorts which are so cute, shirts are coming up to coordinate with them. I made my middle daughter a reversible blanket and pillow to match. I even made a blouse for me! I was stunned by the couples generousity and hope karma pays them back with good favor! I will be passing the good favor forward also!<br />
<br />
here are a few pics of what i have made with my good fortune<br />

It was a very fun project from beginning to the end, granted there were a few pull your hair out moments but that had more to do with my skill in free motion quilting rather than anything to do with the design or the pattern. My 3yr old son adores this quilt, I even allowed him to help with the free motion part of quilting, that was an experience on a whole new level with anything i have ever sewn. This quilt has tons of possiblity with using different colors and prints and you could even add a few textured fabrics into this design for a whole new look. I highly recommend trying this pattern out.<br />

Regardless of the reason for the book I love quilts and history and have decided to work on recreating a quilt that might have possibly have been used during the Civil War Era with using fabrics as close to what would have been used during that time as well, this post will be updated as I progress.<br />

My toddler son is ever growing out of his clothes so to curb the cost of new clothing that he will outgrow in a couple months time I have started upcycling things for him (i had been just upcycling for myself) but I love to upcycle so he gets included also. I was given a button up sweater by my mother in law that was in great shape except none of my girls wanted it since it wasnt a girly looking sweater and it was also missing a button so I cut it apart at all the seams and drafted a pattern for my son and recut and reassembled it to fit him and I totally love the results I still need to replace the buttons though.<br />

I even did a sally skellington dress from drafting my own pattern and drafted a pattern to make my daughter a dress to be kitty Cheshire from ever after high. I have also been working on crocheting again too. Busy busy busy. lately I have been inspired a whole lot with fashions from generations past, especially the 20's. I find the clothing is so romantic from that time period. I especially find the clothing worn by the ladies in the TV show downton abbey and titanic, I find it really elegant and feminine and soft. The dresses in this photo are some of my faves from titanic. I am hoping to recreate the walking suit and the red empire dress even though I would love to recreate more those are my top faves on the list<br />

Designed by a very talented woman. This pattern is such a fun pattern to make and a pleasure for your child to wear. So many fabric combination options, dress version and top version, bow or sash and just because you can why not do both!! The princess seams make this a very classic and elegant look for girls and since the top is so lined no irrigation from seams to any child with sensitive skin!! A win in my book!!<br />

<br />
This was a first time testing with this designer, in fact though I have many years sewing experience, my experience to using pdf patterns is less than 1 year. I love the fact that this pattern explains how to alter the pattern for a great fit for your child. My child fell into a size 12 for width but a size 10 for length. An issue in patterns w my tall but short waisted daughter I hit that issue a lot and this is the first I have seen it explained how to make the pattern work for my child's measurements. I adore this pattern and will be making many more top and dress form. I did receive permission from te designer to add a slight sleeve to my daughters so that she could wear it to school. That took a few drafts to get right and at moment it's attached once dress is finished. I'm planning on figuring out how to attach to straps while attaching lining so no outward seams are visible to distract from the beautiful garment.<br />

Instead of cutting all seams apart, i used the sides of the legs as the fold of the fabric and used it for my front and back of the romper. I used some scrap from another cast off tshirt for the sleeves and collar and even salvaged a snap for the collar opening. all in all it looks cute. Now to take pics of my son wearing the romper. The pattern for this romper is available http://www.kbstitchdesigns.com/product/wrap-around-romp/<br />

these were the choices my daughter originally wanted together but we kept the paris fabric for this outfit but used a solid pink to pair with it instead of the small print, saved that for another project and as you can see the solid pink was a much better match and my daughter loves the shorts. I also made a top to coordinate with the shorts</div>

One of my girls loves animal print and this knit sort of resembled zebra print and it had pink in the fabric so a double score for her. She picked out a really cute open back tank style tunic that instead of the ruffle skirt that it called for on the pattern I lettuce hemmed the shirt. Super cute, super fun and my daughter loves it<br />

I learned a couple new techniques in making this dress. understitching and concealed zipper, though i didn't do a concealed zipper as i don't have a concealed zipper foot (it is on my every growing list of things to purchase). I love the fun and trendiness this dress is all about and my daughter loves it too, granted will have to wear it over a tank top for school since it does have that open back but this dress is soo cute and i loved the priviledge of making this for my daughter.<br />

So since having another is not an option for me, I am sewing things for other peoples babys and I gotta say there is something so much fun about sewing tiny baby clothes especially frilly stuff!! I absolutely love this pattern I made that I bought through ckc patterns "baby mimis twirly peasant top" it was a very easy project and so stinking cute!! I did change the sash to an adjustable velcro belt instead. I keep finding new patterns to add to my list of ever growing things to make at some point but I can say I did get this one done. <br />

Funds being almost as small and tight I drafted a top using elements from 2 different tops that I liked. I had already drafted and made a bodice block so I used that to draft my swimwear. I had never sewn using Lycra fabrics so this was a new experience for me. It was a bit challenging for me to sew but thankfully w using stretch stitch (a must w stretch fabrics) and my walking foot I was able to make me a halter top and it's ready for use for the 4th of July. Now that I have the hang of making this top I will be making more in different prints. <br />

My closet was in dire need of some freshness to it (new to me clothing ), shopping wasnt possible at this time so it was refashioning and upcycling to the rescue. I had a bag of clothing that someone had given me to do whatever I wanted with them, so I went thru and found a peach shirt that i loved the color of it and set off to work. The shirt was rather shapeless on me and required some altering to have a better fitted look, I found a picture on pinterest of what look I was going for in the overall design (photo 1). I did not use any pattern for this i just winged it. I changed the straight collar to a peter pan collar (or rounded), added some pintucks to both sides of the button band and gathered the sleeves and added some lace, it does have some technical errors in it but I am happy with the over all look though i plan on adding some trim to the sleeves once I buy some more<br />

I am going to use this panel that i already have<br />
<br />
things needed<br />
<br />
1. fabric of choice, needs to measure at least 40x55<br />
2.thread and needle or sewing machine (i use machine)<br />
3. measuring tape and fabric pen or chalk<br />
<br />
fold fabric in half with wrong side facing you,(photo 1) from your bottom edge measure up 10 inches and then in 6 inches and mark, should form an L shape(photos 2,3) and cut out that section(photo 4) and repeat on the other side, sew those side seams together(photo 5 , i also zig zagged edges). measure in from your side seams and find the exact middle and mark straight up on the length (height ways up to the fold at top) cut only the top layer on this mark (photo 6) now you can either do a close zig zag on this open edge or do a small hem I did a zig zag, hem bottom if needed and hem the sleeves. my finished product (photo 7)<br />

I had the privilege of testing Kelley's Twirly Skirt and let me just say this skirt has the perfect twirl factor. The skirt features and double layer skirt (endless fabric combinations from print to solids or both) and a yoga style waistband with built in modesty shorts. This skirt was a very simple quick sew for me, love it and when a women's size with shorts becomes available I will be making me a pair as well.

Well a tie didn't seem so complicated to do, 3 pattern pieces and a piece of elastic to fit my sons neck and I was finished. Very easy! Now I can make my son ties of any color fabric.<br />
