So, it has been a while since I have posted and I have to say that I have been alittle busy. Not crazy busy, just alittle.
I did make a decision on sergers and so I introduce to you, Pearl
She is a beauty. Got her from allbrands.com and got a great deal. In a package, I got the serger, a carrying case, extra feet, 12 white cone thread, and extra feet. She works great and can go through some thick fabric. I used her to repair some jeans and she was able to sew through the hem. Love!
Unfortunately, I have only gotten one outfit done for the Once Upon the Thread Sew along.
We Help Daddy is the book that I choose to make an outfit from. I just love the illustrations in this book.
I have been trying to do alot of ReCreating when it comes to kids clothes and this outfit was no exception. I found this large stripes mens button down shirt and figured it would work.
So after alot of cutting, this is the dress that I came up with. The only problem was that it is alittle short for a dress.
I decided to make up some cut pants to go with dress/top to make it wearable. I wish that I had a little girl to have model it. But it is a size 1 so I am out of luck.
Now on to the next project. I am planning on putting together a website to sale some of the outfits that I have been putting together. The name is going to be Alexander Alter & Create. I am going to get some bodyforms size 1,3,5,7 to help with the photographing of the outfits. Stay tuned.
