All made of fabric backed upholstery vinyl which is a little beastly to work with.
Featuring CONTROLLER zippered cell-phone size case and CARTRIDGE WALLET.



With nonsensical "BIKE" logo even though those are clearly rollerblades! Oh well. Also you may notice there are a bunch of loyalty card slots but no place to really put cash. That is because I don't have any!

This is for my parents for Christmas. They said they'd like wall decor for Christmas, but my budget this year is $0, so instead of buying a painting, I made this. 2/3 of my kids. I can't paint, or sculpt, or anything like that, but I can sew.

It is all machine applique, on hand-cut pieces. It is 16"x20" so they can frame it if they like, but if not there are loops on the back for hanging it on the wall with a rod or by other means.

These are gifts for my BIL, and 2 of my brothers. Potholders. Mostly machine hand-applique with a little bit of machine embroidery thrown in on the lettering.

The backs are plain.

1 halloween costume out of the way! It's modified Otto 01/2007, I used the toddler shirt and pants but skipped the snapping shoulder part, and added the hood from some other Otto pattern, but modified it a bit.

I knew I was doing OK when partway through sewing DS started saying "I SEE MUNO!!" :supercool:
Now he's saying "I MUNO! I MUNO!"

We are visiting Colorado next month for a NIN concert and to see my nephew, who'll be about 8 months. I had to take the opportunity to make teeny fall/winter things!

Velour pants with pockets:


Trains hoodie:


And coordinating navy/white octopus shirt. (Yeah I know, trains doesn't go with octopus, but the colors match OK?)


I didn't bother with interfacing / iron on on the shirt so the appliqué is sloppy, but I left edges free so hopefully it will fray up a little.



Cocoa shirt:


Dinosaur shirt. Made 2 of these.


Yay coverstitcher!


Coordinating dinosaur hoodie. I elected to add the rib around the hood and really like it I think.



And overalls that work over the cocoa shirt or with the dinosaur stuff:


I so <3 these.

Coverall. No snaps in it yet, for some reason I have a trillion studs and no sockets right now. It's 0-3m size. No, I'm not pregnant. Just felt like sewing something tiny. I'll find it a home. It's from Ottobre's 1/07 issue.



And the heap of dresses, my own pattern. They are all different proportions because the sizes range from a 2T to an 8/9yrs.

Don't have a waist? Need one? This shirt to the rescue!







It looks even better when I am wearing a good bra...this was my "lazy sewing Saturday" bra and it's not working to my best advantage.

I used the wrong size needles in the serger and poked holes in the fabric.  So I am going to redo it now that I have the correct needles in. I am going to add pockets in the black strip, at the bottom, 'cause it seems like that'd be cute.

For my SIL's future baby I made 2 knit shirts, 1 pair corduroy pants with cuffs, and a gray motorcycle jacket that reminds me a teeny bit of this Armani one. Did them all start to finish last night from Simplicity 3852 or 3582, I forget.

Made with Simplicity 3582 for my pregnant SIL's future baby.







This was a pretty easy pattern - I didn't follow most of the directions because putting it together seemed intuitive. A lot of the pieces were separate for separate sizes, so I only had to trace off 4 pattern pieces. The jacket is fully lined.

Lesson learned: pay more attention to the wale on corduroy. I didn't on one of the pockets. It's less obvious IRL than in this picture.

What can I say, I don't have any girls to model and sewing boys clothes is pretty boring since you can't play with necklines at all. 
This was my first attempt at drafting sleeves, I wanted cap-sleeves that weren't tight, and I think it worked well enough.
Oh also there's a small gap in the side so the whole tie thing can flip to whatever side of the dress is facing out.
On to the pics - and ignore my sucky lighting, I always finish stuff at night and my sewing room lighting is terrible.
