Skin waistcoat done bar fastenings and edges. Made another of felt to be cut up into ribcage. Thought that was easier than separate construction.

Next installment after school. Our school do the dressing up on Friday so I have an extra day. Also do t have to dress up when I go in to help tomorrow!

Finished yesterday, the Lily Poppins dress.

The top was made using Burda 5148 and I added the self drafted collar.  This was meant as a toile, and so, if I make another, I will raise the neckline a little.  It is fastened using a placket at the back, and metal snaps.  The button band at the front is faux, but has no buttons on yet as they failed to arrive in time for WBDay.

The skirt was made using the coat skirt of BurdaStyle 12/2012#156 as an A line base.  It is quite heavy as I used a thin cotton base to which I attached 3 frilled layers, and filled the top in using offcuts, so that the white base wouldn't show through when I added the pleated apron at the front, and the large bow at the back. I lined the skirt and attached both layers to an elasticated waistband. 

The hat was decorated by Lilya and mummy.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Bogwoppit's first entry (there may not be another but I can hope)

World book Day - Lift the flap - Human body.

My youngest helped me draw internal organs on a plain t-shirt. I sewed a rib cage from a funny brushed fabric. Thought it was felt but it is woven and frays so I did a narrow zigzag around all the edges before cutting the holes. Used a permanent marker to highlight edges under instruction from the wearer and drew a spine and shoulder blades on the solid back. Sternum is double and has velcro so it can be opened to show the organs.

Skin coloured waistcoat from lining material. I used Oliver and S parachute polo as a base shape and added front button bands and velcro. Neck and arms are bias bound.  My husband said why are you taking so much time over that - I was practicing techniques on a fabric I've not used before.

That, BW, is inspired! I will remember it for future WBDays.  We have a Theo, and the look on his face was a picture when he joined Lilya in a picture - dressed as a Penguin!

I have attached a picture which I don't think he will want passing round when he's older...

Here we go, with big brother as Dr Who (David Tennant, his best mate went as Matt Smith). Sewing for brother was taking up sleeves, narrowing trousers and shortening tie.

Too bad this wasn't the Feb. contest.  I spent most of the month sewing bibs (16), leggings (5) and Barbie clothes (lots) for my grandsweeties.  Maybe I can fit in something before the end of the month.

@BayCreekGal, you could have entered the Selfless February contest with all that. You'll find a list with all 2019 contests among the sticky threads in this section.

Snap, @Bodgeitandscarper ,
DD has requested these rompers, in the way that you have adapted it. You've made a really good job of it.

Bodgeitandscarper's entry number 2.

Simplicity 8098 for another little romper suit.

This time I used some clear kamsnaps instead of the white ones on the first romper, but other wise much the same, using view B but without the shirt top part.  I elasticated the back waist on both of them.

Only had time to do a couple of simple Skorts for the Diva who is 8 and now learning to be a cheerleader so wanted something to wear to class.
The pattern was from a Prima mag, last year I think. And the fabric was from the stash, it is a plain cotton feel scuba from the Textile Centre, their description Light-weight poly/viscose/elastane jersey. This fabric has a two way stretch giving a comfortable fit when garment is made. Powder soft to the touch. One side has a cotton feel and the other side is your typical scuba fabric, only lighter in weight.
The colours are really vibrant and the fabric was lovely to sew.

They look lovely.  I'm intrigued with how you've hemmed them - what machine/stitch have you used @sewmuchmore ?

SewRuthieSew's Entry #1 Sewing For Little Ones Contest: Shirt and Shorts for mascot
Refashion of an old adult Rugby shirt into a pint sized version for the mascot, with bonus shorts.

Here's the mascot in his new shirt and shorts.
For the shirt I kept the collar and logo of the original shirt but cut the sides and bottom away. I used the bottom section of the sleeves to make new smaller sleeves, and coverhemmed the hem of the shorter shirt.

The shorts were made from a the lower edge of the shirt.

With a stitched opening for the tail.
As this is a sitting bear I lengthened the back crotch and shortened the front crotch.

I didn't use a pattern for the shirt, just made it to fit the bear.
For the shorts I used New Look 6961 as a starting point then shortened the legs to shorts, angled the waist to give a longer back crotch/shorter front crotch and stitched round a hole I had left for the tail.


Here's the XL shirt I started with.
