Jersey Skirt

by

I love this soccer jersey skirt! A customer sent me a bag of knits that included her daughter’s old soccer jerseys and asked me to do something with them…..I thought this would be the cutest outcome. Now “Ava” has a unique personalized skirt! The jersey is perfect for twirling and will be great for the summer heat. I can’t wait until Boo is old enough for sports now!



I’m still trying to finish up my LBB twirl skirt pattern (as seen above)….hopefully it will be done in the next week or so! Thanks for being patient with me!

Also, the judges are still going through the 154 entries to the Lil Blue Boo / Dharma Trading Design Challenge! The entries are all so creative and fun to look at……I think the judges have the hardest job ever!

Alice In Wonderland

by

Have you seen the previews for Tim Burton’s new Alice in Wonderland movie? It looks amazing. I love Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. I have this beautiful Alice in Wonderland import fabric that I got from This and That from Japan (Lisa actually has a few versions you should check out)…and used it to make this skirt and shirt set:


I used reverse applique for the skirt (see tutorial here). I drew images (heart and teapot) similar to the ones on the fabric onto interfacing and then ironed it onto the wrong side of the fabric:


Before sewing the skirt together I pinned the applique to the backside of the skirt and stitched around the edges:


The best part of reverse applique is cutting out the final image:


A funky Alice in Wonderland-inspired twirl skirt (pattern to be out soon):


To make a set, I took a plain white tee and screen printed a magenta crown the front and added a spade shaped reverse applique:


The finished shirt with rhinestones attached:


Another Alice-inspired dress….using a Disney Cheshire Cat shirt:


With one of the sleeves made from a teapot print:

Seen anything cool lately that is Alice-inspired?
