Barbie Clothes Part Two

Well I didn't manage to get all the outfits I had planned done but I did get a few more finished. My friend, Stephanie, volunteered to help and I probably wouldn't have gotten the last two outfits done without her help!

This cute peach polka dot dress which was super easy to make. It turned out cute but I wish I would have had some sort of embellishment for it.



This blue sweater and white pants. For the blue sweater I used and old sweater of mine that I was going to get rid of. It turned out to be one of my favorite pieces!





My grand finale was this gorgeous wedding dress, veil and bouquet. I'm so happy with how this turned out!





I used a remnant I found of a embroidered sheer organza and layered it over a white satin.
The sleeves are an already gathered ribbon and I sewed some pearls on the waist line, sleeves and veil. I even did some white ribbon around the edge of the petticoat and the veil. It really did turn out to be the grand finale I was hoping for!







Last but not least here is a picture of the outfits all packaged up and ready to give!

Barbie Clothes Part One

A little girl I know is turning 7 on Saturday. I decided to make her some Barbie clothes. Out of a stash of remnant fabric I was able to cut out 9 outfits.



Sewing the outfits is taking a little long but so far I've gotten two outfits done. First this cute yellow and white outfit.





Second this hot pink dress and matching shawl.





I'm really happy with how they have turned out but sewing Barbie clothes is difficult! Stay tuned if you want to see more: two down, seven to go!

Flowers and More Flowers

My BFF, Stephanie, is having a pixie (Tinker Bell) party for her daughter's 7th birthday this weekend. She asked me if I wanted to help and I told her to pass whatever she wanted my way. So, yesterday she showed up at my house with a bag full of supplies asking to help her make some hair clips and tissue paper flowers.

Task number one take these supplies...





...and turn them into beautiful hair clips. So I spent about an hour and a half of quality time with my glue gun and this is what I got.





Pretty! Yes? I was so happy with the way they turned out! The metallic butterflies turned out so beautiful on the flowers!



With task number one completed, very successfully I might add, it was on to task number two, tissue paper flowers. Supplies included tissue paper and pipe cleaners.



Cut the tissue into rectangles, do a quick accordion fold, wrap a pipe cleaner around it, pull them open and you get flowers! Of course you can mix it up a bit by using multiple colors and trimming the ends differently.



Pretty! Here's a few of my favorites.







You would think after all that fun I would be done for the day but no such luck. After all that I went over to Stephanie's house and we continued folding paper flowers until about 11 pm! All that crafty fun fit in to just one day!

Happy Easter

Well, here they are!













These are the adorable Baby Binky Bunnies I made for my niece and daughters for Easter. I used bright Easter colors and this pattern by mmmcrafts. The fabric I used for the binkies is Soiree by Lila Tueller for Moda.

These are the first softies I've made (with the exception of a bunny toy that my sister and I made when I was a teenager) and I really enjoyed it. They were so much fun to put together! I liked all the little pieces and the detail work.

I think they turned out perfect for Easter and I hope they are well loved by their little mommies!
