Boy's Patriotic Shirt

I made my very first boy's shirt. It took me awhile to figure out how to attached the collar. I was following the instructions that came with the pattern but it seems too hard for me to follow. I guess ESL is my problem hahaha. But I came up with the idea to find an old boy's shirt and just take a look at how it put together and it took me 2 minutes to figured out to put the collar together. I read the instruction and trying to follow it it took me maybe 3 hours :(.

aw this shirt cost me $1...my time is priceless!

I used butterick 3475 size 5 for pattern.

Yellow and Black Flowers on White Easter dresses

I made couple dresses again today. I used the same pattern from the previous sewing post. I used simplicity 2432 and the pattern the I made from my daughter old dress.

I used the pattern that I made with this dress.

 Simplicity 2432 and modified the front bodice. I added ruffles in the middle area for change a little bit.

She loves it but she said she need a pocket too :)

SPRING DRESS 2

Make sure you visit Alida's website and check all the cool stuff that she have today. I am joining her new series of Calling all Kids link party.

I made another dress for my youngest daughter. I used the same fabric from this post. I just want both of my girl have matching dresses but not the same designs. I just don't know what to call this dress. I made the pattern from my daughter's old dress that was given to her by her Aunt.

I took me forever to make this since I don't know what to do with a limited fabric. Plus I was praying that this dress size will be just her size. I made so many dresses for my girls and when I finished it never fit for them because I did not add an allowance when I cut it. So, It was either too short or too narrow and won't fit.

 Anyway, she loves it!

I add some pockets. I love the ruffles.

 I didn't realized that my daughter is taller than I thought. I thought I add more allowance at the bottom of her dress. Well, I still can add it later though.

 This is the dress that I made the pattern from. This dress now is too short on her.

Love the outcome!

Have a great one everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Everyday Strawberry Dress

I made another dress using my own pattern. I added 3" belt sewed around the waist line.

Guffy faces!

Percy Tank Engine

Hello :-) been awhile isn't it?

Anyway, I made my son a Halloween costume yesterday afternoon. My son likes Thomas and Friends stuff. Last year he wore Thomas the train costume, so this year I made him Percy the train costume. I was gonna buy him another costume but it cost a bit expensive and he will just wear for one day. Anyway, I decided to make him one. Is not as good as the already made one, but he won't notice the difference... it is still Percy the train.

Here it is... it took me 1 1/2 to finish
