groovy fairies

These outfits were definitely made with lots and lots of love for my beautiful fairy god daughters . I had a great time in NY shopping and letting them pick the fabric themselves . They wanted something different and colorful , I must say , the skirts do represent these two pixies . I love them so much . I'm going to have to start sewing them a few more. My sister said they loved showing them off at school  . I also made the cutest pink dress for Serena . She said she is wearing it to school on Friday because all the girls are wearing pink ! I made Gianna a cute culotte and tank but BOO HOO It was 2 big ! I told her no worries , she likes Serena's dress so I will get right on it making one for her !!  They are the best !!

tank top- 2 big! @#$%^&

culottes- 2 bad they were so big

Peace out Pj's for the fairy sisters

Fun!!

Fall ruffle skirt for Stella

My husband Chris has been complaining that all he sees coming out of my sewing room are girl clothes . " Can't I have one stinking pair of pjs ??!??? "  I made him pick the fabric of choice and then it sat in my fabric stash for months . Father's Day comes around and I decide to make the man his stinking pajama pants ! Lol . He loved them ... but wait ... extra fabric . Not exactly girly unless ... Maybe some ruffles... And then ...gather it all up .... A fall skirt for Stella . Cute pair of boots ? Some tights ? A cream sweater .,, the girl will be stylin

Easter Sunday and organza fabric

I was walking though The fabric store and I spotted a beautiful organza . It had iradedscent thread running through it with shapes of colorful Easter eggs . Sheer and lightweight . Hmmm if I put a cotton skirt underneath it what would it look like ? White , noooo . Pink ? Nah . Purple PURPLE love it  !!! Can you imagine how thrilled I was when pixie Meadow showed up at my house Easter morning looking oh so beautiful ! I love little girls all dressed up for Easter . As a side bonus a tiny little  bit of fabric was left over ,so  out popped a tiny skirt for Stella !

Batik fabric , so beautiful

LOVE this fabric . Pink and purple swirls of color,It is so beautiful to look at it . Perfect for a summer dress . It's not something you would normally find in a child's store . That's why I like to sew . To sew things you wouldn't see normally .  I decided to make this for Stella . Her dad is my best guy friend . He is my male counterpart  . He told me he loves Stella in pink and purple . I mixed the batik with  a solid pink cotton gathered skirt . I actually did this without a pattern . The bodice has a buttonhole in the back that the straps run through . This way I didn't have to worry about getting the straps perfectly right . Mom just pulls it to fit . Rafael loved it and told me the little fairy had a great time twirling round and round !

Willow branch fabric for the pixie Stella fairy

This is not a design or a color I would have normally  chosen for a little girl but there was something about it . Stella's mom loved it and pulled it immediately for   selection .  So I began to think what can we do with this ? Skirt ? Shirt ? Dress?  I like to find fabric and then do the outfit . Others that sew may do it the  other way around . I however enjoy the actual fabric selection . This one was soft and subtle ..Stella likes to dress herself so a cute over the head pinafore with a gathered skirt would work . I mixed it with a satin ruffled chocolate ribbon around the waist . Stella loved it and wore it for her school pictures . Her mom said she got many compliments . A couple of months later I started doing my pillow case dresses ... Hmmmm ... I had some of that willow fabric ... And then , in a  flutter of fairy wings out popped the design on this one ...soooo 2 different  dresses when I was only planning one for this fabric !

The fairy sisters and their new Easter dresses

 

 

 Gianna and Serena, my beautiful god daughters and special little fairies , live so far on the edge of the grotto I barely get to see them. When I finally get to see them we have so much fun! They sing like angels and they are so very funny . They always make me smile. I love how they love each other . They remind me of my sister and I.  They are best fairy friends . The first dresses I made for them were very difficult , their beautiful mom , my sister Debbie , sent measurements but it was so hard for me to visualize if they would fit ! I picked an A line dress pattern and went to work . White cotton with baby blue polka dots and blue satin ribbon .I cut two different necklines  because they are sisters , not twins . After I was done I knew they needed something . Flowers and headbands ! Perfect just like them !!!












THEY FIT!!

Stella couture

Stella is the daughter of my very dear friend Rafael . She is in kindergarten and Chelsea calls her
" Nugget " . She actually reminds me of Chelsea as a little girl . One day I showed her a picture of Chelsea when she was the same age  and Stella announced , "That's me ! " My reply, "No Stella, its not you. Her reply, "YESSSS it is!!"
At this point her mom, Chelsea and I were all laughing. I told her, no its not...its Chelsea and then she smiled a big beautiful smile. She is such a little diva . She will calmly let me fit her to check for size but hates those needles . She points at them and  says " take them out !" She is also very sweet when she smiles , claps her hands when I make her something  and says ,That's pretttyyyyyy !! I just adore this Little pixie .  So glad her mom Christa likes to dress her in fun things . Christa has an eye for certain fabrics and one afternoon we picked out lots off material , while Chelsea chased Stella around the store. HMMMM or maybe she was she chasing Chelsea??!!?? LOL.
 More cute little things I made and Chel helped design  in a future  post, but check out the ruffle denim pants below , So Stella Bella !!!
