Weekend Insomnia = Completed Projects (YAY!)

I don't know what's gotten into me the last few nights but I just CANNOT sleep. And it's not like I'm tired and just can't rest, I'm completely wired! Last night I was up until 1:30a sewing, 1:30! I don't even remember the last time I stayed up past midnight, & it certainly wasn't when I was in my own house with complete access to a warm & comfy bed.

Well whatever the reason was I did have some beautiful finished sewing projects completed & ready for a photoshoot this morning!

Fleece tunic & pants:

I love the way the pleating turned out along the bottom, I think it looks like frosting! It was easy to do, I just cut a long strip of fleece & folded it over on itself as I fed it through the machine. I also added some to the shoulders...

Next project was to transform some onesies that Sam's outgrown but are favorites of mine. This 1st one just needed a little length & some sleeves so it was a pretty easy fix. I cut off the snap bottom & then used some leftover tshirt fabric for the sleeves & bottom. I also made a bunch of legwarmers (that's what those crazy pink striped things are) for Sam from women's socks, I took pics so I'll give you that tutorial sometime this week. (maybe tuesday?)

The shirt says, "My daddy is a DJ. What does YOUR daddy do?" Snotty, I know, but it still cracks me up.

We love this golden retriever onesie that a friend gave us when Sam was born, it's for a boy though & when it fit her she was a.) bald & boy looking already & b.) it was too cold out for short sleeves. All that to say she never got to wear it so now I'm super excited to repurpose it as a cute fall dress!!!

This was really easy too, 1st I cut off the bottom of the onesie and then worked in sections adding on to the base with different tshirt scraps. The bottom ruffle & arms are actually from a flowerprint floor-length nightgown I had. Don't ask.

This is a lot like the tshirt dress I made in this post but even easier because the main structure was already done with the shirt part of the onesie. I really like how the purple buttons look too, I just stitched them right on top of the three snaps that were already there. Snaps are still functional but now they're pretty too.

I think Sam & Lucy like it too...

Before you judge the crapiness of those photos let me show you some of the others I had to choose from...since someone has learned how to walk she's been a bit of impossible to keep still.

That big brown lump on the couch? Samster Daddy.

Some of us handle our colds a little better than others. (;

Speaking of being sick, I haven't forgotten that right before the household was taken over by colds I teased you with a giveaway. I promise I never intended to make you wait this long! It'll be up tomorrow by noon!

Hope you had a good weekend,
