There are two new dresses up on my site…
I put a lot of work and detail into these dresses….
One is a 24m/2y in green tones…
the other…
4y in pinks..
both can fit a bit larger and smaller because of the shirring and the adjustable straps…
With Khéna’s “weird” shape… finding pants that fit has been a task to say the least… I knew I could make some but I was a bit scared of patterns… but I finally decided to try… however… just like pants don’t fit… patterns don’t fit… so I found a pattern that I had bought at the thrift store and like I get the general idea from a recipe… I got the general idea from the pattern and made my own…
Because I didn’t know how it would turn out I used an old pair of Simon’s pants for the material… I am pretty happy at how they turned out and they fit him so well and look so comfortable!
I just finished this last night (well… I still have the hem to do but otherwise it is finished)
I LOVE this dress… it took me about 6 hours in all over the span of about a week….
I wasn’t sure about how it looked when I just had it on the hanger but when I asked Colin to try it on I saw that it turned out better than I hoped… I will be putting it on my new website to sell, along with a new skirt that I made…
shirred back…
decorative topstitch…
yes… I used my son to model… lol
and the skirt… (again needs to be hemmed)
back with elastic and a tie…
eta… they have already been sold… and I have had requests for others!
I really wanted to sew a skirt for my good friend Gen…
There was a lot of trial and error in this one but I finally finished it and I am really happy with the result…
It is a 6 piece gored skirt with knit waist, made with chocolate corduroy and an embroidered linen…
I finished another dress yesterday… and I am going to start working on a few skirts for adults to sell…
There is so much pressure in making clothes for others, but I love sewing and people seem to like the clothes that I make…
I don’t know if this little business will become something but it is something that I enjoy doing… I am getting my site ready and will put a few things up in the next few weeks…. and then I will be putting things up as I make them…. no customs and no pressure for me…
The clothes that I make are all pattern free… like with recipes I don’t like the constraints of a pattern..
so here is the latest…
