Follow up to Duo Tone Ottobre Dress

Here's a picture of DGD wearing the Ottobre jumper I made and blogged about in last post.  I think she wore boots with this ensemble, hence the lovely pink socks.  They didn't show when she was fully dressed.  LOL.

Been Sewing--no photos

I just finished a pair of European pants from Loes Hinse--guess this is my TNT pattern tho I do make others.  I KNOW they will fit, I know how to make them, the zipper is easy and neat from my perspective, and there are no surprises.  That is both a good and a bad thing.  No pleasant surprises of the satisfaction of a new style to sport.  No wasted time from trying out a new pattern that just doesn't work for my body.  So, pants are made and already being worn today with a Garbo I made several years ago and a long sleeve perfect tee from this fall.  I feel put together, but the clothes are so comfy I don't feel uncomfortable in "dressy" clothes.

I have an Ottobre jacket traced for DGD and the fabric is in the dryer.  I hope to get it cut out this evening and maybe even sew tomorrow.  We will see how much I accomplish.  The jacket is #32, The Two Way Buttoned sweater knit jacket.  (*ETA from the 1/2011 issue) I'm making the first try from some sweatshirt fleece that has aged well in the stash.  It's a forest green that will go with jeans or maybe a little plaid skirt I might whip up to go "with" the jacket.

I'll get some photos soon.  The green Burda jacket is finished, snaps and all.  I really am learning to love it!

Add an Ottobre t shirt...Pattern 301 for boys and girls

I had enough fabric for a t shirt and made one from the Ottobre 301 pattern size 134. Might be a little big, but she just keeps growing!

Quick Picture!

Here are the boys' shirts made with the same fabric as the giraffe dress. I'll take a good picture after the buttons are on and I've put them through the washer to get the chalk lines out.

We are taking a road trip today so I will sew the buttons on in the car--easy for me and gives me something to do while DH does the driving!

New Pictures

Here are the things I made for DGD--I will add the pictures of the pants I made for me later! Thought these were cute little girl items. I think I am going to finish the sleeves on the white shirt--was toying with the idea of leaving them as is, but I like the puff of the pink shirt. DH took these photos in our back yard--it is windy here today!

Latest Additions!

Here are 3 photos of the younger DGD wearing the Ottobre leggings and tunic I made her for Christmas. Chez Ami fabric from Fabric.com in a size 104 for both.

The DGD is 5--pretty darn cute!

A Couple of Ottobre Items

Here are a couple of items I made for my younger DGD--both from Ottobre and both size 104 without any alterations. The shirt is the OD 301 t shirt pattern and the leggings are from the Fall 2007 issue. Lily's Leggings. These were NOT made to go together! I will post a photo of a pair of pink leggings and a tunic that I made earlier. She can wear the purple leggings with the tunic too. The shirt will match a skirt she got from her aunt for Christmas.

Fabric for the shirt from Fabric.com, a Chez Ami fabric.

Fabric for the leggings from Main Street by Mail. Both are online shops.
