Homemade Star Trek Backpack

Back to school backpack tutorial {Hart and sew}

I saw the backpack tutorial at Hart and Sew.

I immediately knew that I have to make

a backpack for my son. 

My 5 years old boy requested me to make Star Trek backpack

for him. 

So he chose 3 fabrics by himself and

it turned out really cute.

The tutorial is very easy to follow. 

One thing I did differently was that I cut the straps from

an old backpack and reuse it.

Check the photos and Enjoy!

The tote bag was given to my sister Julie.

My sister Lisa requested me to make eggs and bacon tote bag 

So I made one for her. Yep it looks like a face. 

I taught my niece how to sew a tote bag 

and that is her first tote bag.

Proud Aunt here!

While I teach my niece how to sew

and I sew too. The tote bag was given to my niece.

DIY- Summer Picnic Dress

I made a Summer Picnic dress for my girl. The free pattern

Summer Picnic Dress Pdf pattern I used from The Cottage Home Blogspot

and it includes a great tutorial. 

I didn't do the top-stitch since I didn't have enough time yesterday.

I made the dress for my daddy's 60th birthday party. 

For next time I will use another method with the ruffles on the bottom. 

I would gather ruffles by the hand, not the sewing machine. 

However the summer dress turned out cute. 

DIY- Toddler Jacket

I finally added a white anchor button to the jacket. 

Here are some pictures of the jacket with a lovely white anchor button.

I couldn't pick one picture.

Too cute not to share all of the pictures. 

My daugther Gisele kept on saying "Bird! Bird! Bird!" 

Blue Jay bird was interrupting our photo session ha!

Last night I made another jacket~
 Pink tweed fabric with Purple lining 
{Those fabrics I got from a thrift store for free!!}

Violette Field Threads Molly Jacket Pattern: My cute girl in an adorable jacket

When I saw this picture of green jacket and I fell in love with the jacket.

It is gorgeous!!

I knew that my daughter must have a jacket just like this.

So I purchased from Violette Field Threads Molly Jacket Pattern- PDF.

They have an option for paper pattern too.

The instructions was very easy to follow and it took me about 2 hours 

to finish the Molly jacket for my girl.

DIY- Adorable Ruffle Pants

Found a twin flat sheet for $1 at my favorite thrift store

I used my daughter's capris pants

Fold the flat sheet 1/4

Trace the capris pant and make sure there are enough room so you

can sew them together

Cut it out

That should look like this

Fold the sheet 1/4 again,

Trace it again and 

cut it out so now you have two fabrics

Sew on the top to the end of crotch part. Check next picture

Sew the bottom of one leg, sew up to the crotch part then back down the other leg

This is important to remember!!

 Don't forget to leave the opening

so you can insert the elastic band.

Sew end of the elastic band together

Finally it's completed.

See it's not that hard.

 When you sew more pants and it will be very quick. 

Sorry it's not a great picture of pants on her. 

She won't pose a picture for me but this picture will do just fine.
