Quilt Update

I have shared about this quilt in the past, and I am still slowly working on it!  I now have all of the blocks assembled, and the sashing sewed on.  Next up is piecing the quilt together, which I will start on in the next little bit! 

Tissue Covers....

Lately, I've been working on these cute little tissue covers for a craft sale, and as gifts.  They are super fast and easy, and so festive looking.

Christmas Stockings......

For this Christmas, I made everyone in my family new stockings to use.  In addition to these shown, I made a few more to hang on the railing of our stairs.  They look so festive!

This is the stocking that I made for my sister, Elisabeth.  She picked out the fabrics herself.  They make me think of the Victorian time period.  So delicate and pretty!

This is the stocking I made for my brother, Ethan.  He picked out the fabric for it.  He LOVES animals.

This is the stocking that I made for my Dad.  I think the little snowmen on it are too cute!

This is the stocking I made for my Mom.  The fabrics she picked out for this stocking also remind me of the Victorian era.

This is the stocking for my youngest brother, Ean.  He loves it!

And finally this is the one I made for myself.  I love the fabrics!


Have a great day!

A New Outfit For Dolly

I recently made this new outfit for a 18" doll.  It has three pieces: a shirt, jeans, and a scarf.  

I experimented with the different settings on the camera, and this is what came out.  The colors POP!

Here are the jeans.  I used a Pixie Faire pattern found here.  I love this pattern and have made many pairs of jeans using it.

I used my mom's sewing machine to do some decorative stitching on the pockets.....

And the shirt was made with the free Tank Top pattern, also from Pixie Faire.

Have a great day!

A New Dress For Dolly

I recently made this sundress from some scrap fabric I had.  I think it came out pretty cute!

This dress was made from a Heritage Doll Fashions pattern available through Liberty Jane Clothing.

Here's a picture that shows the entire dress.  The fabric has a white background with teal flowers.

It ties at the shoulders.

And this is the crocheted flower that comes with the dress to go in her hair!  Here's the link to the dress on Etsy .

Have a great day!

Spring is on its way.....

.....At last. I am sooo excited that spring is finally here. We have had a hard winter. So when the flowers started to bloom Ethan and me went and picked some and brought them in the house.

I was looking through a kids sewing book a few days ago and found these cute bags then decided to make them. They were very easy and fun to sew. Although I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet.

This is my favorite one. I haven't cut any threads or anything yet, but I'm getting there.

My siblings and I made some Easter crafts that I still need to take pictures of. Hopefully I can do that really soon.

My Version Of A Snuggie

For Christmas I got a snuggie. But when I wore it, it kept trying to fall off. So I found a way to fix that...

Sew on snaps!!! I love sew on snaps. They can almost always fix things. This is my sister modeling it and it is a little big on her.

And this is what it looks like from the back. The snaps do line up, but it doesn't look like it on the picture. I should have worn it when we got 3 inches of snow and built a snowman!!!

By the way, this is my tenth post!!! And hopefully 10,000 more to come!!!

A Family Of Dolls

I made these cloth dolls last month. One for my sister's birthday, one for my Mom for Christmas, and one for myself.

From left to right: The one I kept for myself, the one I gave to Mom for Christmas, and the one I gave to Elisabeth for her birthday.

After I made the dolls for Mommy and Elisabeth, I couldn't resist making one for myself. My favorite part of making them is picking out the fabric for their dresses. Although making their faces is fun too. (Just in case you're wondering, the doll in the middle is supposed to look like "Dorothy" from the "Wizard Of Oz.")

Have a great day!!!

A New Dress For Miranda....

I have been working on this dress for my doll Miranda. And I have learned alot about making doll patterns while making it.

I have made two but I decided to take a picture of this one since the other one doesn't have a hem or buttons yet. One of the things I learned while making this dress is the importance of seam allowances. After I sewed the buttons and button-holes on I went to put it on Miranda and I realized that the dress was really tight around her middle. And so that was how I learned the importance of seam allowances.

This is the back of the dress. When I was sewing the skirt, I made a mistake, but then I realized that that way it had a train. And so I decided to leave it like that.

Now I need to go finish the next one!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
