I've been doing a bit of sewing for my niece in recent weeks. I missed out on having something ready for Christmas, but got cracking on a few items for the summer wardrobe.
Here's PJ being very helpful when I was trying to iron the fabric. It's a better quality photo of the fabric which was a craft fabric from Lincraft.
Next is the Puff The Magic Dragon dress. I made this from a pattern in the Japanese sewing book "Sewing for your Girls".
After a terrible few weeks of hot weather I decided to make some lightweight outfits. The first is a shirred dress. No pattern required for that one. I got some lightweight cheesecloth from Lincraft. I was concerned how my new machine would go with shirring, phew it worked. Even tough it's a super simple dress to make, it does take awhile doing all those rows of shirring. I probably should have spaced them out more and then I would only have to do half.
And finally I made this little ensemble using an old skirt that no longer fit. The skirt was a button down the front number and I kept the facing and button holes so that the back buttons up. Shorts were from a basic shorts pattern.
I used a couple of cute cow buttons at the front for a bit of a feature.
