Don't mind the stinkalicious photo. This one is going to be a redo. I accidentally cut a small hole right in the middle of the front of the shirt, near the top. She's going to use it as a PJ top now, so she's happy. The open shoulders are kind of cute, though.

Girl Scout Cookie time!
I made the girl a little pouch to hold all of her Girl Scout cookie selling stuff and money. Not thinking, I put the wrist strap on the wrong side. I doubt she'll notice but it will bug me forever. ;)

super soft pillow
I made a zippered pillow cover for the girl's bed out of some of the Chez Ami dimpled velour that they had on sale not too long ago. It's so soft! Even the husband said he wanted one.

stuffed stegosaurus
I got the book One-Yard Wonders from my mom for Christmas (thanks, Mom!) and the boy went through it and requested that I make him this stuffed dinosaur. In the book, it actually velcroes onto a platform with wheels which has a ribbon in order to pull it along. That's a little young for him, so we just went with the stuffed toy portion. I went with some velvet-y houndstooth patterened fabric and wool felt for the spikes. The boy insisted that his dino have blue eyes (after I talked him out of white ones).
As much as I dislike sewing stuffed things, it was worth it when I see how much he loves it!

The Decpticon shirt
Here is the finished Transformers shirt that I made the boy for Christmas. He's planning to wear it to his first day back to school tomorrow. I'm glad he likes it!

Working on a couple of Christmas gifts
This is going to be wrapped up and put under the tree. She'd get it anyway, but it's fun to have more presents to open, huh?
The fabric is from Chez Ami and I used the Ottobre 6/07 issue again - same pattern as the last shirt (which I just noticed I didn't blog here), but with a hood. I also modified it to have faux layered sleeves and I bound the sleeve edges. The leggings are also in that issue.
This is a preview of what I'm making for the boy. I haven't sewed him any clothes in a while, so hopefully he'll like this shirt once it's done. He told me he likes the Transformers Decepticons (the bad guys!) which was good for me because their symbol looked easier to applique. LOL

Gingerbread men ornaments
I'm making up several of these cute little ornaments to include with teacher gifts this year. The kids think the one with the missing leg is hilarious!
The embroidery patterns and instructions for these are available over at Urban Threads. Luckily enough, these two patterns are 50% off through December 27th!
