Tales from the Sewing Vixen

I've been wanting to try out a onesie dress for my daughter and had a few spare white onesies lying around so that is how this project came about. I had these scraps of t-shirt material that was begging to me crafted into something so I started constructing different flowers that are similar to a mum or something of that sort. I did them in different colors and then sewed them by hand onto the onesie. For the dress part of this, I had a bottom half of a t-shirt so I attached that to some elastic, gathered and sewed away. I did everything by hand, therefore it took forever!! I also added some flowers to the skirt and used green floss to embellish the look of grass or stems. I am pretty happy with the outcome and the crispness of the all white. This just may a new favorite. I can't wait to get some pictures of the model in it.

Now that this glorious heat has swept over North Carolina, I am in a sudden state to sew for summer. Spring has completely left my mind and summer is quickly taking over. So I am in a frenzy in the store and since Wal-mart is so evil they even have a craft area to suck me, I find a watermelon print calling my name. I am thinking another romper of some sort, but since it is still in the works, that could quickly change.

Meanwhile, I think I am going to start on a couple of my upcycling projects, something along the lines or tunic and bicycle shorts, possible. Hmmm, brainstorming is dangerous after consuming a large chocolate malt. I will be back with some updates after my mind is cleared from this sugar rush.
