"Accident" Bunny

I made a bunny for my oldest a few weeks ago.
I had no intention of making another one when a friend of the oldest daughter had sleep over last weekend at our place. She turned out to be a bunny lover and wanted to keep my oldest daughter's bunny...

So, we made a deal: I would make another one in a few days before she and her family are going to Hawaii for Memorial Day weekend (jealous!!!).
My daughter was nice enough to lend her bunny until I finish the new one for her friend.

I worked a couple of hours last night, and then the "accident child" was born.



When my oldest saw it this morning, she said, "This one looks better than mine! I want to keep this one." When I answered saying "no, this goes to your friend," she told me to make another bunny!!

That is not going to happen...

What happened to the new bunny? It was safely delivered to the new owner's house this morning :) She was adopted and well being taken care of, I am sure.

Girl's Summer Top - Part 1

The last personal project was for my oldest daughter, so the next was my youngest turn though she is the type who can care less about the fact that I make something for her. This shows in her reaction later.

I worked on this summer shirt for a week (off and on, cutting fabric one day, taking a few days off, and finally started sewing...)

Sewing part began last night after their bed time. Once I get close to the finish, I have tendency not to stop. So, I ended up staying until 1 am to finish. Probably it did not help that I was watching Grey's Anatomy season finale at the same time.

Well, this is what it turned out...

I think I did a pretty good job, but when I showed the youngest this shirt, she said "No!" and refused to wear it.

Maybe, it will be a gift to someone or she might change her mind later.

Summer Dress Part 1

I tend to alternate productions for my shop with my personal projects.

After finishing several bibs last weekend, I decided to work on my daughter's summer dress.

My oldest always want the first one that I make; the youngest has no complain at this point.

But, honestly usually it takes 2-3 tries to get it right for me, so the youngest ends up with a better quality stuff. The oldest does not know that or she does not care. She just wants it first!!

Over the last few years, I bought sewing pattern books in Japan every time I visit my family there. This is one of them.

From the book, I tried a dress (or I thought it was a top). I picked a fabric with orange pattern because the oldest currently have a crush on a boy whose favorite color is orange.

Took two night of cutting fabric and sewing, it was completed.

But, it looks like muu muu!! My choice of fabric was not right, maybe.

So, I added a belt...

Maybe it helps a little.

What matters is that my oldest loves it!

More and More Bibs

After posting more bibs two weekends ago, I had sold several.

To replenish more in my shop, and to have a little fun, I made more using one of the cutest fabric I found in Japan.

I really love this elephant fabric, and bought in a few different colors.

I ran out of the blue fabric that I made in the last batch (or at least not big enough to make one more bib), but still had orange, yellow, green (not shown here) and white with blue elehpants.

Also shown here are lion fabric from the same line in two colors.

We will have a trip to Japan soon this summer, and I am looking forward to aquiring more cute (kawaii) fabric!
