C. had this whole idea to make a wizard hat for her penguin plushie, so I helped her make it happen! She designed it and sewed it herself. All I did was help take measurements and figure out how to cut out a fabric cone!
This was requested by C, when she outgrew the shirt this writing was originally on. She selected the fabrics and I was going to help her make it herself, but as it sometimes happens, she asked me to just do it instead. That's OK! I'm happy to!
Hello! I've decided to jump back in with current sewing projects over here on the sewing blog! Every now and then I'll have an "old" backlog post from 2022-2023 thrown in as I get to it. I was tired of NOT posting here, my beloved Dorybird blog, so here we go!
I just finished this fun knit top for E!
I had already put black sleeves on this store-bought hoodie for E's Dawn Wings Necrozma costume. She wore it a lot after Halloween and it got stained. So I appliqued a bunch of "doodles" on it to cover the stain and add extra interest! I like how it came out: very random but (I think) pleasing. It was like doing collage. I had fun with it and she liked wearing it, too!
I made this dress for E! She loves to read and had outgrown her old books dress. This time, I gave the top/bodice a "dropped waist" (the top is very long) because it had worked well on a previous dress. I created an open "book" and appliqued it on to the top part . . . .
. . . and used a fun bookshelf print for the twirly circle skirt.
Ultimately I ended up chopping the dress into a shirt and a skirt (with yoga waistband), since the long top part bothered her. I guess this idea worked out better as a set! :)
