Pirate dress up day!  Lucky kids! 

You done good, 15 minutes and $13 saved (I converted into Canadian ).  The other moms are probably a little intimidated by your sewing skills.  Being able to produce something that most people only can buy in stores is a little bit like magic in our modern society. 

I wanted to share with you the doll I made for my roller derby mate, Fatal Fantasy.  The doll is made from purple polycotton blend with the bones done in felt.  The original patterns came from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/DollsAndDaydreams though I made some changes and tweaks.

Fatal plays and refs in addition to having a love for skeleton stuffies.  Here she is in her ref jersey. 



Fatal also squeaks when you hit her, so I sewed in this obnoxious little squeak toy.



And the roller skates



I blogged about it here if you are interested: http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2012/01/fatal-fantasy-squeaker-skeleton-doll.html

Thanks for looking - I'd be happy to answer any questions

Hey all!  These sundresses I made for my girl came about when I needed something quick to put on my girl in the heat.  They are basic A shaped, with an elasticized back and adjustable straps.  Takes only an hour or so to put together.

Q & C welcome!

Love it!  love the style, the colour (never will you lose your kid at the park), the happy child it's wrapped around.  It's fantastic 

whee!  Love the lovely lilac linen

These are fantastic!  Great idea, definitely going to have to make some up too next winter!

Thanks all!

Spirals, good to hear from you!  Time has wheels on

Hey, all!  I got me a khaki green curtain with pintucks from a thrift store that screamed for a military chic recon.  Here are my little Privates on parade:



I love pintucks, especially when I don't actually have to sew them myself





My children happen to be at the ONLY AGES when they will EVER want to dress like each other.  I am happy oblige.



Q & C welcome!

It's beautiful! 

If you hear strange noises at night from the fabric closet, you should know it's just fabric fairies refolding and pressing your wonderful stash, and not me with a large sack making off with whatever I can carry (including the closetmaid shelving

excellent, as always!  Great stuff, thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.  I hope your kidlets know how lucky they are
