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.

For my online store...

I've been up to my eyeballs making boxer briefs to sell online in the last few weeks. They're selling really well, which thrills me, but I need to slow down a bit on them so I don't get overwhelmed and fall behind.

First, spam for myself, you can visit my shop on Hyena Cart:



Dragons for custom orders:


Sweets in blue and pink:

More stuff I've made in the last months:

A fleece rag quilt:


A circle skirt/shirt/headband set for a trade on my sewing group:


Baby gown for the new baby adopted by friends of my friend. It turned out way too short, so I ended up chopping it off to shirt length, and am going to make royal blue pants to go along with it:


An apron for my sister:


This fabric is so neat, I had to take a close-up of it:
