New Summer Children's Apparel

Yesterday was so beautiful (which can be very rare around these parts) I had to get outside and take some pictures of some of our newest line of summer clothing. This included a skirt with a ruffle along the hem, a peasant top and a coordinating hat. One of our sewing class students made the perfect little model, and her friend was over so we got her in it too! We are still coming out with some 4th of July clothing too so check back soon!

Attention to Tiny Details...My Hat Renditions

Today I ventured out of my usual seamstress ways and made some little doll clothes. When I say little I mean tiny! My customer wanted me to come up with creative cute dresses for these dolls and they are 6" tall. I didn't think I would be able to sew something that little but, when I got to it, it actually turned out really cute! Now I only have 2 other dolls to go in this size and then a couple of Cabbage Patch dolls.

  Here's a picture of my hat renditions after seeing them on Make it Love it.

 

I also just finished up a new summer dress! I also added in some small detailing on this dress. Right above the hem I added 3 pintucks and then put ric rac under each layer. It adds dimension to the dress. This dress has a shirred back and sleeves so it is easy to get on and off a little girl. When you sew little girls dresses I think little added details make all the difference!
