One more Halloween bag

There's a little girl named Emilee who lives next door to my parents' house. She's 10, and always comes running when she sees us there. She's wonderful with both of my boys, spends hours playing with them every weekend, and if you asked either of them who their best friend was, they would name her. She loved the bag I made for Lucas last week, so I made one for her on Sunday, and we dropped it off to her last night. She was so excited, but had just gotten out of the tub when we surprised her, so I didn't get pics of her with the bag.

Terrible lighting and pics, but it wasn't until we were at her house dropping it off that I remembered to even take a picture!

The bigger button is a lime green, though it looks yellow in the pics.

Birthday jammies...

...for my FOUR year old. Hard to believe he's four now, I definitely don't have a baby anymore. He's got a matching pair of BBs that go with each jammies set. Jammies aren't hemmed in the pics yet, I needed to gauge the length of the legs and the sleeves, since the last pair I made from this pattern needed cuffs added to both to make them long enough.

Late-night sewing, as usual!

A birthday gift for Amber's Rory, whose 3rd bday party is tomorrow (eh, actually today, since it's 2am). Brown cords that I made a while ago, and Nay cowboys curved raglan w/brown interlock. LOVE this shirt, am wishing I'd cut one for Lucas too. If I can stay awake for another hour, I might make Rory some matching undies, too.





Edited at 3:15am - I gave up on the undies, but made him a pillowcase from soccer flannel, as he and his Daddy are big soccer fans

Trick or Treat!

Lucas has been begging ever since the Halloween fabrics first arrived in the stores for me to make him a new TorT bag. I made bags for the boys 2 years ago, but somehow Lucas's got lost. Dillon said he liked his old one, so just a new one for Luke.

Shirts for the blonde

Long-sleeved shirts for Lucas -





He picked the patterned fabrics, and I matched them with solids. The snakes are our fave, though!

A challenge, and a birthday...

I was challenged to make something wearable from woven fabric, that would be visible when the wearer leaves the house. I made some cord pants for Lucas, from this cute corduroy that has turtles, frogs, snakes and salamanders on it.







And a hoodie for his birthday, which is a week from today. I had him try it on, and he thinks I was making it for someone else's kid, and wants me to make him one just like it. Sure!!

Sewing for others...

Gosh I'm so great at lame titles!

A cute little outfit for baby Josiah:


And the matching hat, which turned out way too big for his newborn head, and was then claimed by my 3y/o. I'm holding the tail of it up b/c he kept whipping his head around.


An ironing board cover for my friend's mini-board:


And a doll-carrying bag for the same friend's daughter. Lucas and Piglet are modeling, along with my scissors to show the pockets.

And still more underwear...

These boxer briefs were a custom order for the DSs of a sewing friend, Andrea. She asked if Ic ould put the tags on the outside, which I'd never done before, so it was interesting to figure out how to do it. It worked out though, and I just heard from her the other day that her boys love them, and her daughter wants her own, lol!

Post-midnight sewing...

I finally finished the last of my custom orders...at approximately 4am! It's done though, and I'm thrilled.

8 pairs of boys' boxer briefs, 6 for orders, 1 for a friend's DS, and one for Lucas:


And a cute little business card holder for my new cards. This is try #2, and will work until I'm able to do a third...I want the ribbon and tag to be better centered vertically on the flap.

Some modeled shots...

A few things I've already posted, but with models holding them up, LOL.

Sarah's flannel pants, and apron:





And Dillon's pumpkins and cords outfit, which he actually would not take off once I PAID HIM to try it on and let me take his pic. He's cheap though, it only cost me eight cents, lol! But he liked it, and IT FIT, so yay.
