Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
Random S&S, i.e. playing catch up! - added model pic
I have been sewing. Not much, but a bit here and there. I had to move my sewing room up to my ILs apartment (we share a 3 family) so that Leah could move out of my bedroom and in to her own. Since we have just 3 bedrooms, my machines got kicked out! LOL. The up side is that I have to keep the area relatively organized. Anyway, some of these are older that I never got around to showing, and some are new.
First up, two pairs of Munki Munki nursing PJs that I made for a friend. She's doing some web work for me, so I made these for her. The recess print is not my fave, but the cotton/lycra was really nice to sew. After all the pieces were cut, she noticed a dye splotch on the piece for the underlayer. So she opted to swap that out for white. I would have left it, but whatever. KSES for both with the top modified for nursing.
The Munki french girls I did a while back but the lime FOE I had used for the neck was coming unravelled so I had it in for repair. Replaced that with white rib knit for binding. KSES again with lettuce edge hems
Next up is a dress up skirt for a long over due trade. The recipient already has enough clothes so I was at a loss to come up with an idea. Skirt is pink and white tulle with a satin blanket binding casing. The flowers/ribbons are equidistant, I just hung it poorly.
More in next

Then we have a shirt for Owen who had a growth spurt and is now wearing 4T He's so big! This is KSFT raglan top with hemp jersey sleeves and stripe jersey body. I really like how this looks on him. He said "For me!?!? I love stripes!".
Finally is a little lined sweater for Leah. I used the KSFT raglan with PRR sweater knit I got ages ago and lined with baby hearts interlock that Timmi sent me a long time ago now. It's a bit long since I forgot to compensate for no hem when I made it lined, but it should work. Pink snaps and a nicely off center size tag, lol. Thanks for looking!
The stripe shirt is great, and I love the sweet little sweater.

I don't think it's too long at all, especially with the sleeves that roll - she can get use out of for more than one season. I love those pants she's wearing!
that sweater is just so much sweater on her. I think it is perfect and will still be perfect in the fall when the sleevs are unrolled. Those little rosey cheeks make me melt.
