Where's the creations?

Ok so I've mostly been using this blog to post or rant. LOL. I have finally been able to start working on sewing again. I've actually got quite a few projects setup for myself.

First I was working on an apron skirt for Chloe. I drew and painted the Wubbzy characters on the apron part. I'm not really happy with the outlines on them. I used a black paintbrush pen that stopped functioning properly halfway through and caused me to mess it all up. I finally thought of what I should of done in the first place. I outlined back over them in a black laundry Sharpie marker. It was so much easier and went a lot more smoothly.



I was waiting for Walmart to get the Wubbzy fabric in (read about it online). They finally got it the other day and I grabbed a few yards. Mason loves Wubbzy too so I can make him something out of it too. I think the apron with the fabric might clash, so I'm stuck on what I'm going to do. Maybe a twirl skirt with patchwork or stripes. I also still need to add a ruffle around the apron to cover the surged edges.



My current project is Chloe's birthday dress. I found this cute cotton knit Hello Kitty fabric on ebay. I'm planning on making a bubble dress for her. Hopefully I will have enough time to finish it before Tuesday. We are just having a little family party but I wanted her to have something special to wear on her birthday.



I ordered this puppy dog fabric for Mason's first birthday outfit *tear*. I'll use the fabric for shorts or pants and then add some kind of applique design to a shirt. I'm still waiting on the fabric in the mail. I'm also having a hard time finding a plain white shirt for him. I can only find plain shirts in the girl's section and I can't get that because they either have puffy sleeves or lace on them. I have to go to the mall next week so hopefully I can find one there.
