VKSFT size 4t pants, took 1.5" off the rise, added 1" to the bottom, Kaufman stretch corduroy from last year. KS 2596 swing top with hood added from KSFT, brown velour, and pocket from Farbenmix Olivia underdress. This is for an outfit swap I was supposed to send 3 weeks ago, oops.

LWI shirt
Same dyelot, LWI blank shirt from Dharma Trading, although the first one had the dye poured over and this one was scrunched up and stuffed in on top after the dye was poured.
LWI hoodie
Blank hoodie purchased from Dharma Trading, LWI (low water immersion) dyed with Dharma's Ultra Violet procion. I did this in a vase in my kitchen, very little mess, washed it in the washer. I love how the colors spread out in this technique.

Welcome to my sewing blog
I mostly sew clothes for my girls, here's where all my sewing and craft blogging goes. Mostly I am focused on sewing right now, but I also make candles, herbal salves, little felt people, tie dye, hand dyed yarn, anything else that catches my fancy. I would definitely classify my stuff as "crafting", I don't have an artist's eye for color and patterns like some of the crafty bloggers out there, but I love making things with my hands and seeing how they come out.
I've been on a crazy fabric buying binge lately, maybe I'll post some of my new fabrics and you can help me figure out what to do with them.

Jaguar girl
This was supposed to be Kaia's Halloween costume, only then she decided on something else so I didn't get around to making this til well after Halloween. I didn't put the tail on so she could wear it as a regular outfit, it's perfect for preschool because it doesn't stain.
Santa suit
I made this snuggly warm Santa suit for Avalon because she was due (and born!) on Xmas eve. KS 3090 romper, New Conceptions Baby Essentials hat. Red velour with sherpa trim, metal snaps done on a friend's snap press before I got mine.
Avie's outgrown this already, sniff.

Kiki dress
Kaia wanted a black dress like Kiki from "Kiki's Delivery Service". Black velour, black fold over elastic at neckline. Pattern is "Olivia" underdress without hood from Farbenmix. , I forgot to add seam allowance when I traced and I added 2" to the length, but it fits perfectly.
Oh, and I did make the sock monkey pants too. Those are McCalls 4242, PJ pants pattern.

Hoodie and yoga pants
I made these last week for Kaia's gymnastics class. Vintage Kwik Sew for Toddlers pants pattern, newer KSFT hoodie pattern. I took 1.5" off the rise on the pants and they came out perfect. Kaia helped me put the snaps on with my new snap press!
