Sew

Hi all.

I have been busy sewing lately but it is for an 80's party i'm going to next weekend so i can't put the photos up because i want our costumes to be a surprise so you will have to wait!!!! And i'm telling you they are worth waiting for!!!

Here's a teaser.......Part of Flicks costume!!!

I did however make a little top and shorts for a friends baby today so thought i would put up some pictures!!

It was made out of a skirt I wore on my honeymoon. I was trying to make a dress but I was a little bit smaller when I got married then I am now so there wasn't as much material as I thought. So I found an old denim baby dress lying around that doesn't fit anyone and..........

Made matching shorts!!!

I must say I am loving my overlocker and the Roll hem function!! However I did break a needle today......my first broken needle!!!!

If you would like to know how to make this shirt go HERE

I have made mine a little different as i found this can be hard to get on and off so i now make the chest band a little bigger than my measurement and then i sew elastic around the top and bottom of the chest band this way it stretches a bit more to get on.

I also make my square bigger and cut off the points!! 

it just gives the bottom a bit more length while still keeping the shape!! (This is one i made for Flick before i put the elastic in. It fit's her perfectly but she can't get it on and off without help)

If anyone is actually reading this for sewing instructions just let me know and i can put more information up on how i made this!!
