customer loot

This is going out in the mail today. All of it is for the same kiddo. Peasant dress with bloomers, block capris with peasant top, and primary striped wide ruffle capris. It's been done for awhile, the payment just cleared today.

mythical creatures camp shirt

A lady in my quilting club gave this fabric to my big ds. :) Notice how I almost got the images lined up on the button plackets? No closures yet, I'm leaning towards black snaps.


A close up. Just because having the ability to take a close up still amuses me.


The back.


Shoulder. I was trying to get the sleeve detail, it has raglan sleeves. :)

Moose jammies.

the whole twirly set

I think I forgot to post the shirt too. She has a pair of bike shorts in the same magenta, and a ballet wrap type shrug, and there was finally only scraps left of that magenta knit after that.

skivies are done

Not that I'm enjoying having a new camera or anything.

sorta boring sns

But they are cute! Moose's new skivies. He picked out a yard of the orange at the fabric store today, it was enough for the side parts of 9 skivies. The middle pieces (the cowboy print in the pictures) all came from my knit scrap bag, and most of the leg cuffs (some leg cuffs are in the same orange). Including the elastic that's about $5-6 for 9 skivies, that really fit him! Size 4t skivies are getting snug enough on his waist and hips that they're getting hard for him to manage, but if I put him in 6s they'd go to his knees. Not to mention I skunked the store bought prices.

lap t style dress

For my Muffin. Hanna Andersson inspired, but I have a soft spot for lap shoulders on toddlers and babes. Very very soft cotton fabric.

the camo pants

Can I start by saying I don't really like camo? Well of course I can, it's my blog. Especially realistic camo on kids. I tried talking him into the kiddie versions, or the blues. No dice. He had his heart set on the real camo. Hunter quality fabric even. He was promised a yard or two of whatever he wanted that day, and camo was what he wanted. Then he flipped through my Ottobres and picked his pattern. These are "high water" pants (essentially a manpri) from an '05 Otto. Lots of topstitching, a hammer loop (well, Jack Sparrow sword loop in this house), reverse yoke panel on the back, pleated back pockets, twill tape covering the lower seams so there are no raw edges showing when it's flipped up. I veered off the pattern for the fly and waist, it called for a zipper and real button, I put velcro in for the fly and button, and added elastic to the back of the waist for my skinny boy.

The legs really are the same length, I didn't have the cuffs flipped up the same length so it looks a bit wonky.
