Our youngest son wanted a shirt made with wings. We found a really nice black shirt (long sleeve) and some amazing fabric to shape the wings. The fabric is sheet with iridescent dots that look silver from one side and multicolored from the other. I cut each wing with a scalloped edge and attached them to the sleeves and sides of the shirt. It looks so cute!
Our darling daughter wanted to make something she could sew with me. She settled on a baby blanket for her newest expected cousin, as Auntie's birthday present this month. She picked out some soft neutral flannel (since baby's gender is unknown), decided on the size and thread color, and then went to work! With mommy's assistance, she cut, pinned, sewed and pressed the blanket. It is quite lovely!
My son is into football big time right now. His room, his clothes, his favorite Xbox game, his favorite activity (indoors or out)...all football. So I was not surprised when he created his own football team and asked me to make him a jersey to match! I did not have a pattern, so I made my own using his favorite jersey. We bought fabric in the right colors and went to work making it. I had to adjust some of the pieces to make them fit right. I used iron-on letters, but the numbers didn't adhere right, so I made them out of fabric and stitched them on. I am quite pleased with how well it turned out and he wears it all the time!
(you can see the "bat wings" next to the jersey in this photo)
We have many other plans for this year, but next we have a big birthday bash to share!
