Pretty trims and ruffles dress

Was sewing this evening.And this is the result.
It was a good sewing day,today.
no seam ripping,the bobbin was always full,and i even had pretty little red heart shaped buttons which matched.
And trim and everything else too,plus more fabric in my stash for the little ruffle on the bottom.
yep,it was the rare kinda session when everything went right. :-)

result?

A dress done in less than half an hour. :-)

I have a pattern draft that i use to make a basic bodice for my one year old,which can be altered easily,and the skirt drafted and joined even easier.i have used it for many of Noora's dresses and it works every time beautifully.it's nothing professional,but it works for me,so let me know if you would like me to upload it!(Lazy bum that i am,i need motivation. :-D)

What say,you?
(been watching Pirates of the Caribbean,can you tell?)

me,i LOVE it!

JCasa's girly dress.

Inspired by this,from JCasa handmade. Love that blog!

It's quite easy and it was all done under an hour.Maybe half.yes i think only half an hour,minus all the interruptions.


it seems a tad too wide for my little girl,but maybe more room would make it more comfortable for her,plus it will buy the dress a few extra months of wear!
love the lace,and the two buttons on each side!

Go check out the tute and make one for the girly in your life!

And i have come up with my own version of the big butt baby pants.i drafted my own pattern ,have made quite a lot of pans and bloomers with rear panels,and i must say, i love it!

it looks so much better when its on a big baby bum,but i couldnt get any decent action shots of my whizzing baby!

And it became a kimono dress.

The little dress is completed.It's a kimono style dress with ruffles on the edges all around the dress.The pattern is my own.Which might explain why it does not fit my baby like it's supposed to.i used a pattern that i had drafted on my own.Maybe it was one that i was supposed to have discarded while i was experimenting with them.This does not happen often.So i,m cutting myself some slack.
:o)
But it's completed nevertheless and I'm quite happy how it turned out.However,the butterfly has still not been completed due to me not being able to make up my mind about it's color,still.

I used a bit of vintage lace on the neckline.i wanted to use it near the ruffles on the hemline.But decided against it as it just might be a little too much.

I think I'm gonna make it again,and this time,my baby should be able to wear it.I labeled the small pattern as i should've done before.it wont be that difficult to scale it up a bit to fit my girl.

ruffled skirt dress

i had trouble with this one.i didn't want there to be seams on the side of the ruffle skirt,and believe me it wasn't easy.the top was a pattern drafted on my own.i think i have more thinking to do on the continuous ruffle all around.i haven't quite figured it out yet.do you get what i'm talking about?,do you?the front and the back of the skirt if they were separate and were joined later to complete the skirt,the sides of the skirt where the both sides are joined,there,the ruffle would be sewed down into the seam.i wanted to make it in a way that the skirt would be like an A line skirt,you know,wider at the bottom,and with no ruffles sewn into the side seams.
i did it sort of,but i had quite some trouble which i had to mend after it was complete.if you peeked under the ruffles,you would see the painstaking work i had done.Good thing you see no evidence of unprofessional-ism from the outside.:0)

the bodice is lined with some linen.(Oh don't you just love linen?)It gives body and colour to the otherwise flat thin cotton that i had used for the dress.because of the lininf,no top stitching was done on the outside of the arm holes or the neckline,which gives it a pro look.
plus,i hid the seams from the inside too,so that my baby would not feel any seams poking her from the inside.

Its buttoned from the back and a tie for a better fit,as it was a bit too wide for Angelittle around the waist.i love how how the button placket is of the linen fabric that i used for lining!

And then just because i have to make and put a flower on everything that i make,i made a rolled rose and sewed it on.and also hot glued it some more to ensure that it would not unravel.i might have got carried away and over done it there. :-)

i love the result.

Tell me what you think too!

Oh and if there's any ''i wonder what how whys'' going on about any of the not too easy to understand language that i just used,let me know.i would be happy to confuse you a bit more.ahem,try to clear it up for ya i meant. ;o)

And im partying over here today!

tweeeeeeedles!

Rae inspired dress

This little linen dress was inspired by Rae's baby dress.I made it without a pattern like always.I also made a matching little ruffled butt diaper cover.Made with a piece of white linen that I had in my stash,and scraps of dotty white cotton from another project.


Don't you just love that cute pocket?
Rae makes awesome big butt baby pants,the pattern for which im looking forward to.(more like obsessing over it in my head, checking every single day whether she has put it up yet!)

While i wait i am thinking that i would try my hands on making one perhaps..without a pattern??
