In the middle of July, I did the unthinkable- I challenged myself to make a craft each day. So far, I've kept to it. I've made two on some days to keep on track. I'm nearing the end of July and I've finished 8 projects!
Here are the first 8:
First project- a simple A-line skirt for Jess.
The second project is a black jersey - long skirt. Jess and I saw a similar one at Nordstrom for $56! We knew we could do better. We made one for $15.00. The pattern was on-sale for less than a dollar at Joann's.
Project #3 and #4 - Cute Baby Dress and Headband
I gave this dress and headband to my friend Jenika, her baby Priya Grace was born in April.
Project #5 & #6 - Ruffled onesies
This one (above) I kept it simple- just a few rows of eyelet.
This purple heart & ruffled one turned out interesting. I'm not wild about the "shabby chic" ruffle - the fabric shrunk up after washing and the fabric also went wild unraveling a little. The ruffles look really cute, I'm just not crazy about the unraveling. If it was for my child I would go crazy trimming the strings!
Project #7 - Dress for a baby-doll It matches the baby dress (project #1). The funny story about that is that the pattern was a free one online. (Dress by Petchy) There was a small box on the sheet with a note that said the box should be 1cm and to adjust as needed to be sure that the pattern was to scale. Well, I assumed that it was 1cm. The word assumed tells you everything-- the square was 6/10 of a cm. So, it was perfectly sized for a babydoll. Of course, I had cut it out and had to finish it. :) It turned out so cute-- my favorite doll "Giggles" from my childhood is the model.
Project 8 and 9 - Baby Bibs
I have some leftover fabric from some aprons I made and decided make a bib. The ladybug bib is larger for a toddler. I think it is needing something. I'm looking for some material that is vinyl-like to make a large-ish ladybug for the center.
