birthday gift

birthday gift

Here is what I have made recently. Looks familiar? ^^
Yes, These are from Amy's book Zakka handmades.

My son is going to his friend's birthday party next week.
Amy often made this pretty children's pencil bag as a birthday gift.
This will be perfect gift!!

Her instruction is easy to follow.  
I should make one of these for my daughter someday.

His friend always put a big bow. So I think she will love it.

My son made this heart using perler beads. How sweet he is! ^^


Happy sewing!

Reindeer 2013

Reindeer 2011 and 2013

I wanted to make something to celebrate my daughter's first Christmas.
The patchwork reindeer is perfect project!

I have not sewing for a while, so it took me little time to finish.:P

Some of fabric is same as I used when I made baby items before.

I embroidered the year and her initial.

She is now 7 months. She is trying to move forward.

Have a happy holiday, everyone!

dress for my daughter

dress with frilled collar

This is the first dress I made for my daughter. The size is 2T, so it is still big for her.
I purchased Japanese sewing book this spring, and I couldn't wait!

Girls style Book

 There are a lot of cute pattern in the book. I'd like to try to make all of them!

This dress with frilled collar is very simple to make and it turned out so sweet!

I kept this fabric for long time. Almost 3 years? I bought it when I traveled to LA when my son turned to 3 years old.

Here is second dress. This is not from the book. The pattern is from one of Etsy shop.

Last one is balloon-shaped pants. This is from Japanese sewing book.

I think this pant is good combination with the first dress.

I know, they are still too big for her. :)

I hope she will like them.


******************************
春に購入した日本の手芸本でドレスを作りました。本は英語に訳されていますが、インチに換算されているので、私としては英訳本のほうが分かりやすかったです。
本の中のパターンはどれも可愛いものばかり！
女の木の母となったからには、娘に拒まれるまで　作り続けたいものです＾＾
ドレスとパンツのサイズは２T、ブルーのドレスはサイズ９０なので、実際に着てもらうにはもう少し時間がかかりそうです。
