Made some MADE shorts and I Was Featured!

Happy Monday everyone, hope your week is off to a good start!

So I decided to make the MADE basic short pattern again for my niece. I added a couple inches to the pattern because it was a touch tight last time.  They fit ok, I need to add a few inches at the top so they aren't so short in the crotch for her. But she does look pretty adorable in them and she liked them a lot!

Also my jewelry hanger was featured on Made it on Monday!! Hop on over and check it out!

Late 4th of July Post

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday last weekend- we had a blast, but this week was very hard to get back to the daily grind!! Here are a few highlights of the weekend.

Marley was being a stinker and did NOT want to take pictures with the shorts and bow I made her, so here are a few of the best ones that I managed to get- sorry about the blur :).

Here is a view from the back to see how they fit her- they were pretty tight so next attempt will be a little bigger! And she loved the shorts so much that she had not one, but two accidents in them, oh the potty training days!

Went swimming with my nephew Eli- I happened to get a wasp sting at the pool this day which swelled up a whole lot- who knew I was allergic to wasp stings?

At my Aunt's house my sister, my cousin's daughter and I decided to make some hair clips- we got creative and made quite a few- it was fun to see all the variety of colors! We let the little cousins wear them the next day and take them home.

Me with my 4th of July hair clip.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. I am excited for my next post- after the baby shower this weekend!

4th of July Shorts

I have been wanting to make some clothes for a long time- so I decided to make a pair of shorts for my niece. I would like to sew clothes for my future children- so I need to start practicing now! I used the tutorial on Dana's website MADE. I had also seen a lot of blogs with people recycling old t-shirts so I decided I would try that too.

I started with this shirt- about 10 years old, never really have worn it a lot----

Pattern template from MADE- altered to make girl shorts.

Finished shorts- the star is just a piece of old navy blue t-shirt and sparkly tulle sewed together and appliqued on.

Since I made these cute shorts I decided to make a cute hair clip to go with it. I used the tutorial from Disney's Ruffles and Stuff blog- so easy and so cute.

I plan to make a tank top with some ruffles on it to match for Marley to wear on 4th of July. I had her try them on today, they were very tight, but should fit well enough to wear on the 4th. When I make more shorts I am going to make the pattern template bigger!

And since the flower was so easy to make- I made another pretty pink one- Marley loved it!!

Happy Sewing and Stitching to all!!
