Weekend Project:Colette Madeline Mini Bloomers, Part 2

Yesterday I started this simple project! It comes from Colette Patterns, it is the Madeline Mini Bloomers. If you want to follow along grab the pattern at Colette Patterns! She also has an awesome fabric Giveaway through Sew Mama Sew! (By the way you can find Sew Spoiled Patterns at Sew Mama Sew Now!) The giveaway runs through July 28, 2010. Just post a comment on Collete Patterns Facebook Page. This is a continuation of the Mini Bloomers project. I am going to finish it through the weekend. Tomorrow we will finish! Yeah!

Step 5: (Center Seams) Pin, sew and finish the seam.

I chose to serge the seams to finish them.

Step 6: (Crotch Seam) Pin, sew and finish the seams.

Step 7: (Side Seams) Pin, sew and finish the seams.

Step 8: (Waistband) Finish the raw edge of the waistband and turn over 2". I think you should try it on at this point because I did and I realized that it was not right for my shape. Maybe the style is right for a teenager but not for me, a mother of 2.

If you want to see how I fixed it, come back here tomorrow and set aside your Madeline Mini Bloomers.

Happy Sewing!

I've used this pattern to make a pair and they are so great! Next time I'm planning to increase the front rise. So fun!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work. Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped key fobs with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template PDF. Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template. Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Veruca Salt Dress

Every year we perform a musical and one of the highlights for me as a theater mom and seamstress is I get to make costumes! I love sewing and when I can sew for a show or for a music reason it is awesome! This year was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I was able to recreate Veruca's red dress. The first step is to find a sewing pattern that I can manipulate to look like what the character needs. I wanted to make the dress out of Pont de Roma fabric so it moved with the actress. Then I remembered the Marianne Dress by Christine Haynes , it is perfect because it also had a peter pan collar. The peter pan collar did have some issues. I did not want a t-shirt binding. Also, the back of the collar did not have a collar. I drafted a back collar piece and since the opening was not stretchy, I created a keyhole with a button and loop closure. I lengthened the sleeves and used the cuffs from the pattern for long sleeves. Next, we added the buttons! We al...
