McCalls 6109- Liz's new dress

Sorry the pictures are so awful but here's McCalls 6109 dress for Liz. I had to shorten the top and take an inch out of each side seam. Not sure if it just runs big or if that was design ease. But looked much better taken up. These pictures of dress on Judy before I took it up and hemmed it for Liz. Judy's 5'10" and Liz is 5'4" so had to shorten it also. It's a quick dress if I didn't have to take it apart to resize. I don't like that the neckline isn't finished but on it looks cute. Also some pictures of the pj's (Kwik Sew pattern)I made for William and Dylan plus undies for Jacob.

Judy's Romper- McCalls 6083

This is McCalls 6083 Romper I made for Judy for the July 4th weekend. I added 3" to length of top for Long Tall Judy's length and to add additional blousing per Judy's request. I also added 3/4" to length between waist and hips. I did the top different I added contrast and turned to front and used that for casing. The material is cotton shirting from Joanns last year and the plaid is from who knows where and when. She likes it and so did my niece and she wants one now. I would recommend this fun and easy pattern.

Tiana Dress for Hailey B-3351

This is a dress up dress for my granddaughter Hailey who loves the Princess and the Frog movie. She's been asking me for a Tiana dress so I used Butterick 3351. I made it a little big so she could play in it for a couple of years. Put a grow tuck in the hem to let down later as she gets taller. I changed up the top -gave it a sweatheart neckline and gathered the rest of the front. Not crazy about it but it's to play in so it's fine. My youngest daughter got engaged on Sunday so will be working on her wedding dress soon. The wedding is in November so have lots of time to get it finished. Picture of Cowin J Pussycat whom I thought looked cute that day while I was taking pictures for the blog.

Sewing Miss Daisy

Made one of the Lil Blue Boo Recycled T-shirt dresses again. Emma Daisy loves cheerleading so cut up an old t-shirt and made her a dress. No model pics yet. Also made another version of the kwik sew nightgowns for Emma Daisy with some scraps from a shirt I'm working on. And of course a matching doll dress to go with it.

Fab Four- UK dress for Alyssa

Well when my daughter in law Liz saw the dress for Sophie we had to make one for Alyssa Grace. I used the top of the Lil Boo dress and just made the bottom layers wider and gathered them. Doesn't she look adorable in it. Now her sister Hailey wants one. That's what happens when you have 9 grandkids, they all want one. ha ha

Three's a charm- Lil Boo x 3

Well I'm hooked. These are just fun to make. This is the third one today heres number one and number two.Megan had this old shirt I cut up and used the scraps from Judy's test fabric (one of her favorite summer shirts)and some leopard poly knit from who knows where. It's kinda silly but I like it. Love the colors. Now I'm tired and need a nice bubble bath.

Lil Boo Take Two- refasioned for Sophie

This is the remake of the Lil Boo dress my daughter Nicole of Cole's Creations made Sophie but did not fit her. I added the fabric to the sides and took off the red binding and replaced it with the matching fabric I added to the sides. It's not as cute as the original dress but it's cute enough.
