Recent Projects for the kids

Vehicle pajamas (Oliver and S Bedtime story pajamas pattern, 4T)






















Aprons for friends' children (holiday gifts)







































Bathrobe made with pre-washed waffle weave cotton (very difficult to sew - I don't recommend it!) from Burda 9828. The ties ended up being a bit low for him and the hood is too big, but he loves getting out of the bath to wear it now.

See? The hood is way too big.























Pants (Oliver and S pajama pattern with modified waistband to allow for buttonhole elastic.
They have a huge hem so I can let it out as he grows.)

















Diapers for 8" doll (Request by G and only 3 only took about 30 minutes. Used tailor's chalk to mark inside of diaper, which turned into looking like something else. Keep scrolling down.)
















Basically, I laid the doll on the fabric, then pulled up the fabric, like you would a diaper and cut a rectangle. Then I cut out the crotch area and zigzag or straight stitched the edges and added velcro tabs on the back and a velcro band across the front like cloth diaper covers. Now he can easily diaper the doll himself. Will be making clothes for the doll soon. (on 1" square cutting board)

  1. Yay! You are blogging :) So many great projects! I was just looking for a good apron/hat pattern, so this is awesome, thanks for sharing! And the baby diapers are adorable. I love that G requested them. He is adorable.
