Things for little people

During Faye's sewalong I made some clothes for my niece. While the machines and knit scraps and remnants were out.
You recognize some of the fabrics, I'm sure.
:-)


 


Now I find making clothes for kids an even better way of putting remnants to good use.
But there is a catch there.
Will they like and wear them?

Happy sewing everyone!

This top - just happened.
And I'm very happy with it!!!
Except for those lianas there that need to be trimmed, eheheh. :-)
The back is green.

Happy sewing everyone!

Don't you love turning leftovers and scraps into something useful?

Ciao!




The 2013 Top Sew-A-Long - materials

It is fantastic to see how many sewintists (!) , I mean - participants, joined Faye's sewalong.
It is a joy to sew in company!
I'm very very happy. :-DDD

This is going to be a scrap busting project for me, aaaaahhh!!!! Yes.
The pairings:

 A printed piece of knit from a dress, some purple scraps that came from someone.

 A patterned piece of knit from a maxi dress I made last summer and a too small pink top.

A printed piece of knit from a top I made, an old thrifted yellow lacy shrug, an old  white top I already refashioned and a scrap of red knit.

These photos were taken last week when it was still a bit sunny. It snowed all day yesterday and it is still snowing now as if it was mid January! I can't wait for spring to finally come!

But what is better than bad weather to keep you inside and sewing? Productivity goes up up up! :-)

I'll show you what I've sewn as soon as I take some photos. Stay tuned!

Ciao!

The 2013 Top Sew-A-Long

Wow, it's been such a long time since I've joined a sew along!





Let's add something nice and colorful to the wardrobe!
Why don't you come and join the fun?
It begins on the 24th.

Thanks Faye !

Yeah, I know, "What about the dresses for the show?"  you may ask?
Can't help myself.
I missed sewing so much.
I have to do this.
Wish me luck.
I think I'm going to refashion something...

Ciao!
