Future pattern idea

I made my daughter some period panties recently for easy overnights. I won't be able to make patterns for this in every size, but I could probably do a small and medium pretty easily. Maybe sizes 5, 6, and 7 in the way underwear in the US is sized at least.

The same pattern minus the pad elements could easily just be used for regular underwear as well. I made it entirely without the serger too, so that should be easy for most people. :)

Here is a screen shot of one of the patterns I am working out.

And here are a couple pics of my first prototype after washing. I did change a couple little things to make the final pattern better.

More cloth diaper month videos...

I will be recording videos for the various types of prefitteds (a fitted diaper made from a prefold diaper) over the next few days. Stay tuned!

Doll clothes week and 2020 are a wrap!

Today I filmed the final video for doll clothes week!

Happy New Year everyone!!

18 inch doll clothes

These are patterns that I posted online in a sewing community several years ago. They're basic serged stretchy doll clothes that fit American Girl dolls and other 18 inch dolls well.

Here is the pattern for the leggings/pants.

Here is the pattern for the shirt and dress.

I will be recording video tutorials for the leggings, a shirt, and a dress this coming week. Maybe someone you love got a doll for the holidays, and now you can make them some fast-sew cute outfits right away!

January will be cloth diaper sewing month

Christmas crafting week begins!

All this week I will be posting short holiday crafting videos of various things.

If you have any specific requests, either comment here or join me for my live-stream on Wednesday!

How about live-stream Wednesdays?

My kids have short "school" days every Wednesday. Would anyone be interested in live-streams on Wednesday early afternoons (2pm Pacific time?) They'll just be saved as videos when completed, but if you come during the streams, I will sew things by request (within reason,) and help with any of your trouble-shooting. For now, I've just been sewing... but, I'll transition to other things soon too like cooking, crafts, other arts. We can even do things like custom logo designs or illustrations together eventually.

Would there be any interest in something like that?
