So, here we are…another pattern test. Hope you all aren’t getting sick of this yet. 😉

I really wasn’t sure the girl would want to wear this, because, yet again…dress. I figured if I put lots of cats on it, then I might get a taker. She did end up liking it, so we have a winner!
This cat fabric is what is left from making her a cute little outfit when she was two years old.
I loved that outfit, and I had the remainders in my drawer full of partial yard cuts of quilting cottons. When I was taking everything out to cut them up for blankets for the teenagers at church, I set this piece aside. I was hoping there was something coming up that she might wear.
It is knit on top and woven on the bottom. I forewent all of the ruffles, but otherwise kept all the measurements the same for a size 10. It fit her very well.
The vinyl decal is from the Silhouette store…again. I am almost out of the credit I received when Brian got the machine for me two Christmas’ ago. It was really nice having that credit, since they have a lot of designs in their store. I can usually find something that will work for my sewing projects.
The little vest is one I drafted up. Fully lined…all seams enclosed. I had to handstitch up the inside side seam. The buttons are old ones from the stash.
I have been working diligently, on and off, on the kids’ costumes for the Con, too. Malificent is forming up nicely. A friend of mine gave me a heat cutter for foam, so I am going to use that to cut the horns. My main concern with that project is getting them the same on each side.
Sooo many projects…never enough time!
I never get sick of sewing posts :-)…just have to get around to reading them 😀
I REALLY like the little vest. That sets off the skirt so well and I can imagine it would go with quite a few things. I am going to be heart broken when she hits 14-15 and announces that only shop bought clothes will do hahahahaha. Don’t worry though, then the round of proms will come and you can start creating again! Has Anya shown any interest in learning to sew herself? The BA was vaguely interested once but was totally put off after she pinned the pattern onto the shantung (evil, slippery stuff) without folding it in half. I haven’t managed to get her back into it since then 🙁 Hope you have better luck…..
