Girly Shirt

My youngest needed a shirt, here it is:

And off we go to creadienstag #98 and meitlisache

Birthday dress for a friend's daughter

The pattern for the summerdresses, Schnabelina's kapuzenkleidchen is really very versatile, it can be made with knits only, top knits and skirt woven material or woven material only (with buttons / zip somewhere). This time I used it for a winter version: knit for the top, corduroy for the skirt.

The dress is really easy and normally fast to make, but this time I almost wrecked my two sewing machines. First the embroidery (from emblibrary) went wrong and everything was blocked, then the corduroy broke one of the needles of my overlock, then the overlock went completely crazy. I managed to finish the dress and I found the reason for the behaviour of my overlock: A screw is missing! No idea where it could be and how it could get lost without me noticing it, but I guess it should be easy to fix.

So here is the dress. The colours should be orange or red - so it's both, which should be perfect, the theme princesses or elves. I took a princess.

And now another entry to creadienstag!

Several Shirts

A friend asked me to make some shirts for newborns and their siblings.

And this is one for my own daughter

The front girlie got a button so that Daddy also knows, what is front and what is back...

Summer Dresses

Both girls are really keen on dresses. Since my older daughter didn't have many that fitted from last year, I had to make some. Even though I don't really like hoods on dresses Schabelina's 'hooded dress' pattern Kapuzenkleidchen is perfect, because there are so many variations and you can even mix knits with woven material.

So the first dress was made from yellow Trigema piquet and woven material from my mother-in-law.

Then one with lilac piquet and two different tweet cottons. Since I even had the matching ribbon for this material it looks quite fancy, I think.

My younger daughter got almost the same.

Here an action picture from the square in Siena with both girls wearing their dresses.

 

For her second birthday she got a lovely strawberry dress with Pinocchio on top.

...and matching leggings...

birthday dress and crown for my dear daughter

For my daughter's birthday I made a dress from velour knit with freehand machine embroidery.

It's my first freehand embroidery!

Only the '3' was made with the embroidery unit of my brother innovis 900

The Kam Snaps are reenforced with leather flowers.

I also managed to sew a crown with velcro number so that it can be re-used every year.
