Sewing project – sunshine outfit

March 15, 2007

Burgundy and yellow setThis is a new set that I finished this week.  I made a skirt (self drafted) with diaper cover, a pair of ruffled pants, and embellished an Old Navy colored t-shirt.  Those little plain colored t-shirts are pretty cheap, so I can just match it to the fabric and do some fun stuff to them.  I did a few new things on this set.  I made the little pinwheel for the shirt, which was SUPER easy and so cute!  I hadn’t really done the applique thing before, so that was new.  It pulled more than I like, so there is room for improvement.   I love the little ruffled on the pants.  It is a fairly easy thing to add to a regular pants pattern.  No pictures of baby girl in it yet, but not to worry…there will be PLENTY!

  1. Sew sweet (Couldn’t resist the pun!) On my to-do list for the weekend is to finish two outfits that have been waiting for buttons, buttonholes and elastic…that project now has a big check mark beside it!! I’ll post pictures on my blog when they are out of the wash. I’m not brave, or talented, enough to create something from my own head, but I love taking a pattern and fixing it up a little–with ruffles, extra layers, etc. Thanks for the inspiration! I love the pinwheel on the shirt…would love to hear how you did it.

    Oh, and I can’t wait to try a little diaper purse thingy…I’m taking a few weekends off from sewing because I have a few other projects that need my attention, but never fear, mother-to-be friends of mine…you’re getting cute diaper-purse thingies!
