Gifts!

Okay, first is Sadie's doll. What do you get a 7 month old? I decided to make a doll she could keep since she isn't ready to play with one yet.

The pattern came with an iron-one transfer for the face. I smeared it a bit though.

I decided to make something for our niece and nephew who will be with us on Christmas morning.

A princess tote bag for my niece to go with the gift my mom gave her.

A "tag" blanket for my nephew. Kelli made Sadie one of these, and I think they are so cool. Babies always love to feel the silky tags, so why not give them a little blanket full of them?

Finally, a chef's jacket for my mom. I'm pretty sure she doesn't check this blog and if she does I hope she doesn't in the next few days! It's a bigger size than my dressform so it was hard to get it lay right for the pic.

Blouse

I have a list of things to sew before Christmas and a shirt for me was NOT on that list. I had my eye on this fabric for awhile and it when it was marked down 60% I couldn't resist buying it... and once I had it in the house I couldn't resist making it into a shirt. It's actually sheer lace over a brown shell, and the sleeves are just sheer lace.

Now...onto that list!
