Now I have an organized and already messy again craft room. The sewing machine has it's own desk and is not piled under things. The result ... sewing!
The stroller is a garage sale find both kids LOVE! but one of the top straps was broken, the seat kept falling off the frame and it was torn in a few places. And it was ugly.
The fabric is from Ikea, the idea from Pintrest and it took me about an hour, including figuring out the pattern. I added snaps to the top straps, snap straps under the seat, french seams and reinforcement patches at the bottom of the seat.
Bee's tunic/pinafore was a pants/jumper/overalls thing I got for a song at a thrift sale. The fabric is pretty and good quality, but the style was not me. So I chopped off the legs. I was going to leave it at that, but the gathered bottom of the pants reminded me of gathered pockets. So I chopped them off, sewed them to the sides and hemmed everything. Too short for a dress, it catches most of her mess and looks cute.
Monkey's back to school T-shirt. He is really into robots (Halloween costume to come). I found a few images on pintrest then doodled a few robots while watching Doctor Who (for inspiration). Traced in onto freezer paper, ironed, painted, dried, ironed. Finished the good Doctor and then Monkey came home and suggested buttons.
