NOT DeniseMadeIt

Found this online. I don't know what it is, I didn't follow the link, but I can tell you what it isn't. It isn't @DeniseMadeIt!!

Seasonal Dresses!

A friend needed a new dress or two, and sent a photo.


I decided to send a seasonal spin on the photo, to see if they would work for her. I made the first one (using a separate tee pattern and skirt pattern, couldn't find one with both together) and found that the Tee was too long, so I had to pull it apart and fix it. In the winter seasonal dress (green top) the 2nd and 3rd tier of the skirt are the suggested sizes, cut out just as the pattern shows, but they are the 2nd and 3rd tier, it was too long to include the first tier. in the fall seasonal, (gold top) I changed the pattern lengths to get all three tiers in.

Once completed, I realized a belt was important to make it look finished, so I made one, that was reversible, to give a little different look. I think they turned out very well (photos taken prior to hand sewing down the neck facing, sorry.)

First Attempt, tee too long
Ripped it apart, tee better length
Needed it in more colors
It needs a reversible belt!

Clothing Protectors (bibs)

They look like shirts, but they aren't, they are worn over shirts, to protect clothes from anything that might drip. They are 'Bob's Bibs'. 

Once this stage is completed, you can add plastic wrap to the back or front (that wrap that sticks to the bowl will stick to the fabric) for extra protection. To see how I made this, pop over to  my How-To pages.

Halloween Kitchen Towels

I've just started on these. Some of them have the reverse side decorated, but they are all decorative kitchen towels. For those with shoes, one side of the shoes are black, the other side are ruby slippers (or gold elfin shoes, both of which take some time to create.)
