Circle Shirt SALE

Circle shirts are my most popular item…followed closely by my handcrafted ring slings!

My favorite circle shirt is this yellow floral one I made. It’s very stretchy and comfy and because I made it using my own measurements, it fits perfectly, hiding my flaws and accenting the right features.

I even made my daughter a matching one!

20120828-222857.jpg

Refashion: Maternity skirt to toddler dress

Today, I refashioned this Old Navy maternity skirt.

20120811-222643.jpg

First, I took my toddlers measurements and figured out how much to take off of each side.

Next, I sewed each side, creating the new dress.

I then took the extra fabric pieces and cut off a section of the crochet part.

Perfect size for straps!

20120811-223128.jpg

I pinned and sewed the straps into place.

I made this cute little toddler dress completely recycled from that old maternity skirt 😉

From scratch: quick n easy leggings from scraps

I have a lot of leftover fabric from all of my sewing projects. I keep it to try mini versions of my projects or to make my daughter things.

Tonight, I took this purple knit fabric out.

20120721-211351.jpg

Folded it in half lengthwise and cut to create pant legs.

20120721-211435.jpg

20120721-211442.jpg

Sewed down both sides and in between the legs.

20120721-211523.jpg

Folded over the very top of the waist to create a casing to add elastic.

20120721-211612.jpg

Put a safety pin through one end of the elastic and slide it through the casing opening. Then, sew the elastic ends together.

Took about 5 minutes and now my daughter has a new pair of pants.

From scratch: Matching mommy & toddler dresses (with tutorial)

I bought this knit fabric a while back for $4/yard. With the 2 yards I bought, I made a dress for my daughter and I. This fabric was 60″ wide and is a knit.

I cut about 18″ off to create my daughters dress. Because the fabric was 60″, I kept the fabric folded on top, folded the fabric lengthwise and cut my pattern using one of her onesies as a guide.

Here’s how it looked once it was cut.

20120720-111046.jpg

Next, I turned it inside out and sewed up both sides using an overcasting stitch.

20120720-111220.jpg

Flipped it back right side out and here’s her new dress…super simple!

20120720-111316.jpg

Apparently, I added a bit too much to my seam allowance as the dress is a wee bit big for my 21 month old but I had her model it anyway :). I’ll take it in a bit on both sides and shorten the length before we wear it tomorrow.

20120720-111505.jpg

20120720-111518.jpg

I didn’t take pictures when I made my own but I followed the same steps as when I made my daughters dress. It’s also very similar to my other post scraps to dress, but I kept the length on the front and back to reach the floor.
