Two more Spring / Summer desses

Summer dresses in Winter.....just never found time to post them

 Kwik Sew pattern #3905 was used to make these.....sweet summer frocks done in various cotton prints.

Christmas Separates

Here are a few of the clothing separates I have made up using corduroy.   I make pieces in multiples of 6 to cover everyone on my gift list.   I love working with corduroy.....rich texture, presses nicely.

Denim skirt / vest and cranberry top

Skirt and Top pattern purchased from LibertyJanepatterns.com.  Vest is my design.  Material for skirt and vest is a patterned denim (fabric is reversible).   Top is a cranberry colored knit made from a new shirt purchased at Kohls.

Back to school clothes for Kiki & Almut

It's that time of year, schools are back in session and the girls needed some trendy new clothes.  They just got their ears pierced at The Doll Cradle.  I used patterns purchased on line at www. Libertyjanepatterns.com  for all the items they are wearing.   Pleated skirt, Bubble skirt, Trendy tee and Slouch jacket.

Modified pattern.....Dress into a top.

Modified a dress pattern I purchased from BunnyBear to make this top. The 1930's Garden Dress. I had made a pair of yellow pants and was looking for a sweet, feminine top to go with them. I was very pleased with the BunnyBear pattern. The top fit perfectly without any adjustments. Their instructions were clear and easy to follow. I've added a link to their website and another link to the Garden Dress page. Hoping to work on making the actual dress soon.

"new" Summer fashions for the girls

I purchased the patterns for the tops (online) at LibertyJane patterns.  The short sleeve top was made from the Summer Breeze pattern by Doll Tag Clothing the Bandeau top done using a Liberty Jane pattern.   I used a pattern from "Love to Dress UP" for the capris.
