Romper Room

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , , , ,

I have been seeing rompers everywhere this season, for babies, toddler, teens, adults. I thought, Hmmm, wonder what style of romper I wanted. I thought this was the perfect look for a toddler or baby, kind of that 70's romper. I was inspired by this one from Old Navy.

So I wanted to make Waverly, my 6 month old,  an outfit that would collaborate with Amelie's cupcake skirt. So I went to work on it and used a dress for the shape I wanted, used some leggings to get the waist measurement and got to work on my romper. It could use some different choices, but since this was a trial and error design, I thought it came out pretty decent. I plan on drafting out the pattern for Amelie for a toddler sized one. If it works out well, then a tutorial will be on it's way out. 



The front and the back which tied for easier access to get baby in the clothes.

Operation Birthday

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , , , , ,

So I attempted to do a plush toy and made too many pieces. Too many pieces resulted in just not fitting together properly. And here kids, we have a classic story of cause and effect. I drew up my plush pattern , cut out the pattern pieces and started sewing. The problem was I didn't think out this idea too clearly. So maybe when my brain functions better I will go revisit the idea of plush dolls.

My rambunctious daughter Amelie, turned 4 on the 16th and it turned into a HUGE thing for her since were away from all the family here in NC. I went big and did this insane cupcake theme. Her hairband, her skirt, her shirt and her first present was a cupcake necklace. So the end result was an embellished tank top, a really loud skirt (pebbles skirt, thanks to Positively Splendid's  tutorial,) that fits her personality perfectly and a sequin headband that had a felt cupcake. She loved every bit of it and lord help me, I think we are creating a div-ious monster. So here is the end result of her birthday outfit.

The embellished tank and her skirt, that was tweaked to add the embellished apron and piping accent.

A close up of the headband and her birthday necklace, thanks to my good friend, Jamie.
