2020-August: Triple Rainbow tank dress

This was for C., made with fabrics she picked and paired.

It started off having a different (pink) fabric at the bottom. That didn't work out, so I ended up actually tearing it off (it was upcycled and old!) and adding Rainbow Brite instead. She loves it! The pattern doesn't have tank instructions, but it's not hard to simply add sleeve bands to the armscye. It's long on her like a maxi dress!




2020-August: Cat Pocket Tunic

 This was for E. and came out SO CUTE!!


I absolutely love how the pockets are placed on the front seams.


The only issue I had was that it's a touch awkward to conserve fabric when cutting these pieces out, since they're shaped so weirdly on an angle.

2020-August: Whale Shorts

 These are SO comfy!! Made for me, and actually they are a little big, which I take as a win for my own fitness since last summer when I made a swim pair. ;)

Also? POCKETS!! I highly recommend this pattern. Made of all knits.

2020-July: Modified shirt into magic star dress!

 I added a starry skirt to a store-bought tee, along with gold ribbon at the waist, to make a favorite dress for C.! She thought it was super special. :)





2020-July: 13th Doctor Who shirt

 I made this for me! I ended up using it on Halloween, too. :)

I really enjoyed making the row of stripes, then sewing it on. I want to do more of this technique!

 Really great bathing suit for E out of (of course) swim fabric. I really love this pattern; it fits well and is so cute!
