Sewing Project – Lavender flowers

Here was my project this weekend.  I made the pattern for these little pants to make the curved gathered section on the front.  I added some pretty ribbon along the edge and a pinwheel at the bottom on each side.  It has a vintage looking silver button in the center with flowers stamped on it.  The matching onesie was again, Old Navy, and I added the appliques and silver button.  The shirt and pants match the dress I made a few weeks ago that I posted here.

I also made another skirt out of the remaining material for this lovely lady.  Her daughter is going to Africa on a mission trip to work in an orphanage and wants to bring skirts for all the little girls there.  She had hoped to bring enough for other orphanages in the area, too, and their project is dubbed “Sewing Seeds”.  If you are interested in helping with the project, see her post here about it (or click on the project logo below).

  1. Thanks for popping over to the bensonfamily blog.

    You are very talented at applique. My first attempt was a flower on M’s first birthday dress (that was my first time ever sitting in front of a sewing machine, too!). I’m much better at straight lines. I love the flower on the shirt. That’s a great touch. You choose beautiful fabric, as well.

    Thanks for sharing your projects! You definitely get my mind going!

  2. Thanks ladies! I still have more left out of this lavender floral, but I think I am DONE using it LOL!

    Natalie, the applique of the flower is simply and iron on. Easy to do. We’ll see how it washes up…it says hand wash on it…HA HA! Like that is going to happen! 🙂

  3. Thanks Randi! I really hope that us bloggers can get the word out and help your daughter reach her goal!
