Pandemic Projects

2020-09-18T15:23:00.003-05:00

One thing this pandemic has given me is unexpected time! I plowed through a stack of unfinished projects including these two quilts.

Christmas Dresses

2018-12-10T14:10:00.001-06:00

Only three Christmas dresses this year and all the same pattern! Simplicity pattern #8755 is quick and easy! I used stretch velvet.

Anna's Birthday Dress

2018-11-26T10:52:00.001-06:00

Not the best picture, but I do really love this little dress! It is McCall's pattern #6915. This pattern is super easy, but I do think I liked it a bit better made from a little heavier knit like this.

Sparkly Skirt and Sweater

2018-10-08T09:40:00.000-05:00

My granddaughter requested a sparkly skirt for her birthday so I made her a very simple skirt and of a washable fabric and a cute little sweater to go with it.

I used Simplicity pattern #1332 . It was a pretty easy pattern. I also made a matching outfit for her doll.

Border Print Dress

2018-09-03T13:48:00.000-05:00

I saw this beautiful fabric and knew it was just what I needed for another granddaughter dress! I made it pretty simple to show off the pretty embroidery. It has buttons up the back.

Simplicity 8349 Tweaked Just a Little

2018-08-27T10:01:00.000-05:00

Here is Simplicity Pattern 8329. I made this dress just like the pattern with the addition of a 1" band and some piping to length the bodice. Of course she needed a matching dolly dress!

Doll dress is Simplicity 8360. Both of these were pretty easy to make.

Bouncy, Stretchy and Twirly!

2018-08-20T11:20:00.001-05:00

My granddaughter said that this dress was bouncy, stretchy, and twirly and that she loved it! What more could you want in a dress!

I used Simplicity pattern #6538. I made no changes to the pattern.

Baby Boy Quilt

2018-05-21T12:27:00.000-05:00

I started this quilt a long, long, time ago! Finally, a cute little reason to finish it!

Just in the Nick of Time

2018-01-29T12:22:00.001-06:00

Only the binding left on one of four little quilts for the bunk beds where our grandkids sleep. I used the same fabric and pattern, but didn't worry about making them exactly the same. I hand quilted one of the quilts and then used the other three as a good excuse to practice with my new Bernina Stitch Regulator.

Time to concentrate on prom dresses now!

Six Little Dresses

2018-01-22T17:12:00.000-06:00

I made this cute dress six times this Christmas. I Didn't manage to get pictures of the last couple.

I think the girls look adorable in their dresses, although the youngest (not pictured) doesn't like "those things on the sleeves!" I told her I'd make the ruffles smaller or take them off. She's still trying to decide!

Another Version

2017-11-20T10:50:00.000-06:00

Here's another version of McCall's pattern #7274.

I'm Loving Knits!

2017-10-02T16:02:00.001-05:00

I've been finding some super cute knits lately and I love sewing with them! I made this cute little dress was made using McCall's pattern # 7274. I followed the pattern but left off the top ruffle and the net trim. I did adjust the ruffle length for better proportion. Very easy!

Baptism Dress

2017-08-28T13:01:00.000-05:00

We have a cute little granddaughter that just turned eight! I told her I'd make her a dress for her baptism. I really envisioned a lace dress, but had trouble finding

what was in my mind. Isn't that always the case! Anyway, I just happened to see this pretty eyelet the other day and knew I'd found the right fabric. Here's what I came up with. Hope she likes it. Also, hope it fits! It's hard sewing long distance!

Pretty In Pink

2017-08-21T09:27:00.000-05:00

The first time I saw New Look pattern #6487 I thought of one of my granddaughters. I love shirt dresses and thought this was a pretty cute one! I followed the patterned exactly and added a little belt with a D-ring closure. Hope she likes it!

Pretty in Pink

2017-08-07T12:05:00.002-05:00

I made this dress for the second time starting with Simplicity pattern #1433. I added some decorative stitching along the neckline and a little ribbon belt. This dress is not hard, but watch the seam allowances--some are only 3/8".

Baptism Gift

2017-07-24T12:47:00.000-05:00

Just a little something I make for the children getting baptized in our ward. A journal and bookmark-pen holder.

Summer Dress

2017-07-03T16:14:00.003-05:00

I love a seersucker summer dress and this is a really cute one! I used Burda pattern #9417. I don't believe that it is still available, but it was pretty easy.
