April 18, 2018: More Sewing

Kenny was sweet and posed for a photo in the outfit that I sewed for him.
I made him a pair of shorts.  I added a pocket to a purchased blue t-shirt.  I thought it would be fun to make a double pocket.  The elephant fabric was a great match and it's a little pocket on top of the big pocket.  He says that he likes the pockets the best.
I didn't have enough fabric suitable for a boy to make him a pair of pants.  The outfit was a present for him (along with a couple toys, of course) on his sister's birthday.

I will be on the lookout for more boy fabric.  I've got tons of girly fabric but I can't sew for one grandchild and not the other.

I was working on a little unicorn doll for Miho's birthday.   I've finished it too late for her birthday but I'll give it to her for another occasion.  But, it's sooo cute that I might just keep it for myself!

April 10, 2018: Finally sewing stuff!

Rapunzel

My sweet granddaughter is celebrating her 4th birthday this week.  Now that I have my sewing room set up I've been busily making her some birthday gifts.

First I made 2 princess aprons.  I got the idea from pinterest and etsy.

Belle

Miho loves pretending she's a dog.  I bought a pinkish vest on Amazon, added ears, paws, tail of pink fake fur.  I made a little skirt for her using the best match from my pink poodle fabric collection.  Then she needs a little purse to hold a cabbage page doll wearing a matching skirt.  And she needs a top so I appliqued some of the skirt fabric on a white tshirt.

 I'll try to take some photos of her wearing my gifts but 4 year olds can get feisty so she may not cooperate.

I plan on making a pair of pants and appliqued tshirt for my grandson, too.  I've got to get busy and start working on them.
