Description

Some aprons and chefs hats for the grandkids to let them know I miss them…
I bought these aprons and chefs hats for 50% off at chain craft store… and used iron on supply scraps. The entire project cost me under $20 with the store sales and only a few hours time. 
I used my joy xtra… to create the iron ons... 
Cricut easy press for the aprons, and my regular iron on highest setting with no steam for the hats, since it is such a narrow area and that worked out just fine.

Girl’s Flutter Sleeve Dress Or Top Sewing Tutorial & Free Pattern In 4T

Printed out the pattern I found on line 

and taped it together 

Dresses all required:

 2 sleeve pieces, both on the fold, 

and two dress pieces, again both on the fold.

On some sleeves I decided to add trim, 

others I did not,,,

I sewed them together facing each other and then flipped out, pressed and stitched open.

I did the same on pockets

I sewed the seams in place after 

I had added the pocket to the front... 

(It wasn't on the pattern, but I knew my girls

 would want one)

I sewed the sleeves to under arm curve of dress after clipping right sides together

I added bias tape to sandwich the seam. 

I then sewed under the arm 

manipulating the bias tape in place 

Next up... I added the bias tape to the neckline

 (on back) to making a casing for elastic. 

The elastic was already joined and 

I then sewed it inside the bias tape 

stretching as I went, avoiding catching the elastic.

All that remained was the hem!

8 more to go...

Woohoo my girls dresses are complete!

Next up:

Boys Shorts

I downloaded a free online boys board shorts pattern:

Since it's for my grandson...

Gotta have pockets!!!

Here is another pair:

And finally... here are all 4 pair

 board shorts complete:

Next up ponytail holders/wrist bands 

with fabric scraps... 

(left over after larger cuts for hair bows.)

I simply created tubes, 

reversed open... 

added in elastic and sewed it closed.

And lastly... the bows.
