Itty Bitty Bit Of Progress

Finished off a couple things this weekend.  Well, if by finished you mean "didn't sew the snaps/velcro on but otherwise done!"  ;)  My favourite part is that these are done entirely from my own patterns, even though those patterns are still far from final.




The sweater is a top down pattern I am working on.  It still needs adjustment, but I'm pleased with this sweater for Emily as is.   I wanted to make a simple skirt to go with it, mostly because I love that fabric a ridiculous amount.  The tiny houses!  LOL  It is just a rectangle of fabric, sewn to a stretched elastic for the waist, so it is not the prettiest, but it does the job.



I couldn't stand to use muslin again and went ahead and made the yoke-dress/tunic in the good fabric.  I used the sewing machine for everything, which was a mistake.  You can see I made a mistake with the lining around the neck, and didn't gather the sleeves properly at the top.  I accidentally eased them instead.  Oops!  

However, that said, I still like it and will still use it. 

Now all I have to do is add some vecro to the one and snaps to the other, and they can be added to Emily's permanent wardrobe.  I need a better way to organize her clothing, as it is in a plastic container right now.  Some way to hang them up would be nice, but I'm short on space, so I'm not sure how I'd manage that.   Something to think about...
