new stuff part 3

Here are 2 bubbles. The first bubble, in blue and white gingham check is a size 3 mo. and is not designed to be reversible.

The second bubble with the trains on it is a size 6 mo. and is reversible. The reversible size features a plain baby blue fabric.  

All of the bubbles are made with snaps in the crotch and elastic in the legs. I tend to put just a little bit of extra elastic in the legs so that they will fit comfortably.

When I get someone to model all the purses I have made, I will post those on here too.

more new stuff part 2

Here is yet another t-shirt onesie, this time made out of one of my own t-shirts that I stopped wearing but was in fantastic shape.  This shirt came from my first (and only) X games that was in San Diego sometime in the 90's where I saw Tony Hawk skate. I am glad to have been able to repurpose this.

more sewing

So here is more stuff I've been making while I have not much to do. The pictures aren't great, I think something is wrong with the camera. I think I will post each of these in a separate post so that it's easier to view.  

This dress is a size 3T and is reversible, so, 2 dresses in one.  One side features the disney princesses fabric and the other side features a matching lavender light print with two pockets featuring 2 different princesses. I bet some little girl would love this.

Update on the t-shirt onesie

So I made several versions of this t-shirt onesie out of old t-shirts I had. After 2 attempts I finally got the directions right (I am spatially impaired) and made the 3rd onesie correctly.  I just used a shirt I found at GoodWill for $1 (good place to go for practice t-shirts till you get the hang of it.

Now, time to make a few more of these to make sure I have the hang of it.

What a great way to use those t-shirts you don't want to get rid of.

Here is the link again for how to make a onesie sack out of a t-shirt.

Decorate your onesies

I found a tutorial on howaboutorange for making plain onesies a little bit cuter.  I wish I could take a better picture of these but the light isn't good right now, maybe I will replace the picture later, but, you get the point.  The only deviation I made from the tutorial is that I used stitch witchery instead of the ultra heat n bond, just because that is what I have.  

I made the Auburn football onesies for a friend having a baby this summer who are big Auburn fans.  The other two onesies I made for a friend in Iowa who just had a baby (who I'm not sure what she would want but I wanted to get her something no one else would) and the Texas onesie for a friend in Texas ha! How is that for specialized gifts. I love it!

Two more neat things I found

I wanted a way to put labels on clothing without having to order some that looked stupid and found this tutorial, so far I have printed out the labels but haven't ironed them on yet.

Make your own clothing labels

I found this link today from howaboutorange, I am putting this on my list of things to do, probably make a cute gift for a child, or...maybe turn them into coasters if they are laminated or some such thing.

Make your own memory game from fabric

Some things I have been up to

So I am now officially unemployed and find that I have a lot of time to pursue the fun things in life.  I have taken a sewing class and learned how to make a Lucy dress and a Taylor bubble and I am really happy with the first Lucy and bubble.
