Mermaid Costume with Matching Tote

Hello everyone, I hope you all are hanging in there. I have lots of projects to work on so hopefully I won't get TOO bored.       My grand-daughter Ruby has been begging me to make her a mermaid costume so I finally did. They were supposed to go to Disney Princesses on Ice and she was going to wear this with a little sweater of course) but it was cancelled. She will have fun playing dress up in it though.

It was so hard to take photos of! I had to lay it out on the guest bedroom bed.

Here is the top. I added lots of bling because little mermaids like to sparkle!

Here is the tail fin with more sparkle. There is a strap to go around her wrist so the tail doesn't drag on the ground.

Hopefully you can see the fish scales on the shiny fabric.

And this is the cute sea shell matching tote complete with sparkle!

            I hope you enjoyed seeing this. I know Ruby will love it!

     Have a wonderful day and stay safe! Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Dress and Purse

Hello everyone, I hope you all are well!   I'm itching to get my garden going but it was in the 30's this morning!!! It as been in the 80's a few days! I tell ya, the whole world has gone crazy!
        I made an Easter dress for my grand-daughter Ruby. Even though they wont be able to go to church because of social distancing, she can wear it Easter Sunday.

I love the pattern and fabric! I'm going to make one with short sleeves and a kitty cat face as well (Ruby loves kitty cats).

I'm sorry for the poor lighting, I did this best that I could. Isn't the little bunny cute! I hand stitched the whiskers, mouth and nose and sewed on button eyes.

Here is the bodice back with buttons.

Here's the cute little matching bunny purse.   She told me she was going to put her candies in it.

  I love how it all turned out and can't wait to see photos of her in it.

        Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Patriotic Baby Dress and Matching Hat and Shoes

Good morning all! We have a bright sunny start to the day here, the weatherman said we will get close to 90 today! We had quite a storm last night. Thunder, lightning, and rain! Our plants are loving this weather!       Well, here is a little dress and hat I made for my granddaughter Ruby. It is her 4th of July outfit. I just love the darling dress and hat pattern. The little dress is made from a recycled sheet! I had it in the closet, wasn't using it and it was in great condition, why not use it, right!  I actually found the pattern at a yard sale as well as the darling shoes! They cost me a whole quarter! I am working on another out fit, I have finished the dress and am getting ready to sew the hat. I also have some more I am planning to make.

 Isn't it just the cutest!!!

 The sheet worked great! It's soft, and washes beautifully.

 Cute, cute, cute!

 here is a close up of the hat.

 Just look at these darling shoes, a quarter!!!!!

Cuteness overload!!!   Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
