look what i made for my kid.

[Deleted]

the back strap fastens with velcro.  apparently that makes it a "montessori" apron, according to the pattern.  anyway, i added the pocket because i like pockets.  L picked out the fabric.  she wanted a cupcake apron.




and look what she can put in them!  her miniature (real) baking tools.

SO cute!

And from a fellow sewer, I will give you big props for matching up the pattern so well on the pocket!

[luckyval]

[tdk2]

You did a marvelous job with the pattern match up! I like the elastic neck. Did you buy a pattern or find online? I may start to sew again some day.

Seriously! Wicked awesome!

[fuckyourcouch]

[nicanmatt]

That is awesome!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

That's awesome! And I love her wee baking supplies. I use Lucy's whisk more often than my own. It's the perfect size. And also maybe because the handle is in the shape of a giraffe. Lol

I have this whisk! From Target right? I even bought the rolling pin in the shape of an alligator. I have never in my life needed a rolling pin but I just couldn't resist. 

[Jermys]

I'm going to make one! I love the elastic neck so much better than the one we have.

[softspot]

That's so cute. I wish I could sew. Did someone teach you or did you teach yourself?

[AHappierHour]

That is so cute!!

i'm not particularly advanced, but my mom taught me the basics from the time i was a kid.  she used to make most of my clothes.  and then i used patterns and some books to teach myself a ton when i was in high school and college.  i hadn't sewn for years before i picked it up again a couple years ago, starting with really simple kid designs.  and now i use youtube when i get stuck.  ha.

LP, you want to tell the class what happened to your doll's original pants?

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Lucy (honestly, it was her!!) "nakes" every doll, straight outta the box

I've been trying to pip, Patrick!!! Wtg

[gretchenindisguise]

Weren't you just worrying the other day that you weren't an awesome mom who did cool things for her kid or some other such nonsense?

[bab]

That is beautiful! Where did you find the cupcake fabric?

[annyong]

This is SO cute! You did a wonderful job. I'm seriously amazed at the perfect pocket lining-uppage (lol). You're so talented!

[underwaterrhymes]

It's really cute!

[luvvy]

You have some serious skills.

[litebright]
