Easter Ruffles

I made Easter outfits for my two cuties and I'm now finally getting my daughter's pictures up.  Here she is! 

I was inspired by Dana's ruffled skirt but went my own route on constructing it.  I liked her construction but it didn't make sense for a baby who won't be twirling around in it. 

There you have it!  More seersucker love later. 

The t-shirt dress and the "mini skirt"

 My husband says I look Amish in this picture above.  Ha!  I totally do.  

I've never worked with knit so while my mother-in-law was in town she showed me how to work with knit on my sewing machine by making me this dress.  It's a dress I've been wanting to create.  It's t-shirt sewn to some jersey knit material.  My machine doesn't have a place for a double needle but she was able to make it work with basting stitches and zig zag stitches.  

 Tie in the back.

The T-Shirt Dress

  I looked weirder in my smiling pictures so I'm stuck with this one.  

 The mini skirt

After cutting the t-shirt I had the bottom half left-over.  Luckily I have a mini person in my household right now and I used the left-over t-shirt to make my first knit project.  The hem was already taken care of so it was really just doing a casing and I left some space at the top for the "paper bag" effect.

Tutu Cute

Simple yet satisfying.  

Feeling Crafty

I've had this insecurity for making gifts for friends.  I will make things for my family on occasion but I'm always nervous about making something for a friend because what if they think it is lame?!  Well after receiving so many cute homemade gifts at my baby shower I decided I would make a gift for a friend.  This friend just had a baby girl in January and is such an amazing person.  She is a woman of so many trades but doesn't really like to get crafty so I decided to make something for her little girl.  Since she has two older boys she loves dressing her little girl in a lot of pink so I stuck with pink things.

I made these three hair clips all in different shades of pink.  

 As well as a frilly, pink tutu.

 Here are a few more hair clips I've made in the last week.  

Here are the tutorials I based my designs off of: Ruffle petal flower, Bows, Felt Rose, cluster of flowers, rolled felt flower.
