Sewing For Baby - part 2

Leaving the house with Baby means you need to pack lots of baby gear.  
This cute tote can be used as a diaper bag, or just an extra bag for 
the endless "stuff" that the little Miss is going to need.




Add an owl taggie, for a sweet matching toy:




Now you're ready to go!  Next project, little boy bags and accessories!

Sewing for Baby

I have spent the past week sewing some gifts
 for a new baby girl.  Here's part one of the gift ~
a fleece hoodie for fall, size 6 months:



Side view of the ruffled hood,


And of course, a matching fleece hat with pink rosette.


I love brown and pink for baby girls!

From Jeans to Capris

Here's an idea for those pants that you love, but they don't fit in the length:  
Let me turn them into capris!  
Whether they are miles to long, look like you're ready for a flood, 
or were just a great deal when you didn't really need more long pants - 
get ready for this wonderful warm weather with a newly refashioned pair of capris.

Jeans - Before



Adding the side slit and new capri length:



And now, the new capris!

Raise the Neckline

This lovely ladies top was too low in the neckline
for this client, making it a little to revealing for her!



Taking apart the shoulder seams and raising the front an inch
made a world of difference:






Love This Quote!

Kool Aid Jammer bags

Kids love Kool Aid Jammer bags!
They're colourful and fun, and the perfect size for a little person!




I love to make "something from nothing"!
