Lots more sewing!

I am sure you are getting tired of my sewing posts but I have a few more things to share!  I have set out to make most of Tiana's winter wardrobe!  It is quite satisfying to look in her closet and see mostly Mommy made... even more rewarding though is the fact that she chooses to wear what I make over anything else!
 When I saw this horse applique I had to order it for my horse loving little girl.  The lady sent it to me all ready to cut out and sew onto a dress.  I designed the dress around fabric that I already had.  She LOVES this dress!  I used the LBB Sienna dress pattern for the bodice and just winged it for the bottom.



 I made a few t-shirts for the boys!!  Camden has been wanting a fly shirt!  This was my first time layering heat transfer vinyl.  Easy... but there was a learning curve and it took some time!

Globe shirt!

This fish shirt was supposed to be his birthday shirt but it is a bit too big for right now!  Again this was layering vinyl and this one was quite the job to do!!!


Glitter vinyl birdy!  Love glitter vinyl now!

Flannel shirt made from the Little Lisette pattern.  I like it but I would change the back closer next time.  The fit is cute though.  The ruffle pants are jegging material... So comfy!!

Velour dress... made for everyday wear... until I saw how dressy it was!  Yay for a winter Sunday outfit!
Pattern: Elke dress

Pattern: Oliver+S Tea Party Sundress
This one is out of fine wale corduroy   I have always loved this pattern for a winter jumper!  I made the biggest size this time though so next time I will have to try sizing it up!

Boise State

You will have to excuse the cell phone photos.  It is the easiest way to take photos at the games! We have been enjoying the Boise State games this year, as per normal.  The kids have done great, they are old enough we actually get to watch the games!
Waiting to get his face painted!





Enjoying snuggles with his puppy!

Fall Outfits

I have been busy sewing for fall since Tiana needs some fun outfits!
I used the Violet Fields Threads Elise pattern for the top and then added bubble sleeves and a skirt. Comfy and cute, Perfect!

I always make shirts for the boys, this time I decided to try something fun for Tiana!  I added a vinyl peacock and rhinestones!  We had the skirt and I made the leggings. I am loving how easy and fun the ruffle leggings are.




I spent WAY too much time on this dress.... only for it to be too big.  Oh well, she can wear it next winter.


Camden wanted in on the photo taking!



The crown shirt was a gift for one of Tiana's friends and the horse shirt is for Tiana!
Lastly, a pair of leggings to go with her Boise State dress!

Portabellopixie Analise Pattern

Tiana modeled this for photos.

New Meadows

Labor Day weekend we headed up to New Meadows for a relaxing long weekend.  Maddie and Lincoln and their parents joined us!  Love these two!
Rooting for Boise State.


Vegging in front of the TV!


We went to the lake one evening.  The water was ice cold but it didn't stop the kids from getting wet of course!












The kids had fun with this fuzzy caterpillar.
