GRANDMOTHER'S SEWING ROOM: Minnie Mouse Skirt

 I bought Baby Kay a Minnie Mouse doll and just happened to find some red polka-dot material in my stash.  I whipped up a little skirt to match the doll!

Aunt Marge had a piece of black velvet ribbon that was perfect for a bow for the front.

When Naomi dressed Kay, she put a black belt on.  It didn't quite stay.

 I had taken some better pictures before I realized that I didn't have my memory card in the camera! UGH..
By then, she was getting antsy, and was unwilling to pose.

This is the best photo of the skirt and bow.  I put the bow on with a safety pin so it could be taken off to wash.  The belt is from another outfit, but did look good until it slipped.

And here she is rocking with her Minnie Mouse doll.

GRANDMOTHER'S SEWING ROOM: Baby Hats

 I chose a free standing lace flower design. Here is my machine sewing it out.

Here is the finished Product. I put a little tulle behind it.

Here is another more detailed shot of the flower. 
You can purchase the pattern here at cute embroideries.

GRANDMOTHER'S SEWING ROOM: Princess Kay

I didn't add any more to Kay's outfit, but Naomi put a cute pink onsie on her which completed the outfit. Here is Princess Kay all ready to go to her first Trunk or Treat! She is wearing the skirt and hat I made and her first pair of shoes. I think Naomi had a wonderful time carrying her around and showing her off.  She will get to dress up again on Saturday for the 'Scare on the Square'.... I'll try to get pictures of Kay and Baby Van (her frog prince!).

The birth announcement I made on my computer. I use Photo Impact for all my scrapbooking pages.

Grandmother's Sewing Room: Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood

 Sewing Costumes for a party..
I quickly sewed rectangles of red together for my cape.  I used SIMPLICITY 2513 for the wolf costume!
