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! :)
I made this top for myself out of a soft sweater knit. I love how it came out, especially the fun bishop sleeves! Next time I may add a *little* more length to the sleeves.
I had bought a top with 3/4 sleeves, but those aren't my favorite, so I didn't wear it much. I decided to add length so it was a proper long-sleeved top! I sewed on some nice purple interlock knit as long cuffs. Now I wear it a lot in the colder months!
I love how they came out! C's flower case now holds art supplies at home, but E still brings hers to school every day!
