Winter Fox Corduroy Dress

Published on November 16, 2014November 16, 2014 by sweetsourmoments2 Comments

I don’t usually find cute corduroy fabric in store, there are many options in online but not in store. This one is an exception, I got it from JoAnn and it’s on half price. Such a cute and perfect fabric for winter outfit.

It’s been couple months since my last dress project, my little one has been growing a lot, most of her summer dresses are too tight to fit her even for the next spring… and they also are not suitable for this weather now. So bigger and thicker dress is what she need. I adjusted the pattern to be able to fit her hopefully until next fall, it does look too big on her now especially around the armpit and waist… well too big is better than too small. I was also planning to add sleeves but then I thought sleeveless will be more versatile… she can still wear it with cardigan or sweater during the cold weater(without adding bulkiness to the arm areas) and the dress might works well during some breezy summer day.

So here it is the winter fox corduroy dress. Hope it inspires you!

Personalized Wallet – DIY

My friend, after seeing twins pencil cases I made (here is the post), requested a wallet with her name on it. So here it is, made it last month.

Pencil Case – DIY

Me: ” What is your favorite animal?”

Twin 1: ” Hamster”

Me: “ok, and your name is …?”

Twin 1: ” I’m Abie”

Me: ” and what’s yours?”

Twin 2: ” Turtle”

Me: “and you are Alie right?”

Twin 2: “Yes”

That’s the conversation a week ago. I was thinking about making something for their 7th birthday and planning to incorporate their favorite animals into my projects. Then with all the things happening here and there, I almost changed my mind… life would be much easier if I would just go to the store and purchase something as the gifts, problem seemed to be solved, fast. Well at the end of the day I decided to make pencil cases instead, my gifts to them would be something that nobody can get from store, something that nobody else has because it’s personalized only for them. Hope they like it as much as I do 🙂

Petite Apron

Made this apron for my friend’s daughter for her birthday. As I know that she likes to help mommy in the kitchen, I thought an apron would be a perfect gift. This was the project I did a month ago, almost forgot to post it.

Yeah.. I know.. You probably have seen this green polkadot fabric everywhere in my projects… can’t help it since I still have lots of this fabric and don’t you think it’s so cute 🙂

Backless Tie Dress

Published on July 11, 2014 by sweetsourmoments2 Comments

My favorite part of this dress is the blue fabric that I got from JoAnn with 40% coupon. So classy, elegant, and also cute at the same time, children version of toile fabric. The design inspiration came from the romper I saw at Janie&Jack. Instead of romper, I changed it to dress. This dress is very versatile, it can be adjusted to adapt to my little one’s growth. When she is taller I just need to lower the tie, when she is bigger the elastic band on the waist area will still make her comfortable. Hopefully it brings you inspiration!
