I really do miss sewing for SCATdesigns in the business sense but I am really enjoying having some time to expand on my sewing skills by trying some new patterns out for my girl.
When I think about it I really have sewen a lot for Sidney and not shared much of it at all. So I'm going to dedicate the next few posts to playing catch up so I can share what I have created for her.
Sid certainly does have a heap of clothes so I've stopped sewing summer clothes so I've started to sew some winter clothes for her.
The first on my list of things I wanted to sew was this amazing
hoodie - This was the first thing I had ever sewn like this but it went together really easily and I am in love with the result....just hoping it gets cold enough this winter for her to get some wear out of it.
My neighbour is getting married in a few short weeks and Sidney is flower girl (i'm very excited about this only wish I could find shoes to match my dress) When she asked me if Sidney could be flower girl I of course instantly said yes but then she asked me to make the dress....I shuddered with fear - I had never sewn anything so complicted but was ready to take on the challenge - we scouted the pattern books at our local Spotlight (shuddering again cause I hate commercial patterns) and found a pattern that we both loved, bought the material and away I went.....below is the result - I even installed a zipper in the back.
I am so excited that it worked - it's far from perfect but it's pretty good for the first time I've ever sewed anything with like this ever. It fits her pretty well and is the perfect length.
I promise to post pics of her looking cute when I have them.
