Very cute!

I don't make clothes yet. I have plans to make some special stuff for a friend's baby girl coming from China.

I made a dress last week, and I'm finishing another dress tonight (but not if I don't get off mothering asap, before I lose my motivation!)
here's the link to my blog post about the first dress: Dress #1 I made it with some old fabric I got from my mom and copied the pattern of a dress I already had.
I also made some shoes for my daughter
and this is the one I'm working on right now, not quite done yet, I'm adding a band of green fabric to the bottom. Dress #2

ETA: I love the jacket!

ETA2: I'm also going to be converting this into a dress for my daughter soon. It's an tank top I bought that I was never comfortable wearing so I was going to sell it until I found this.

The green dress is really cute!

And I can't believe you are also going to do the craftster shirt converting thing, I just came across that last week and am planning to use it as well!

O.o
Here's another one from me: T-shirt made for my boy today. I'm going to add a felt applique of some sort of animal to the front of it eventually. Turtle, or dinosaur, maybe?

Let's see if this works. Most of what I have are costumes.

This dress was made from leftover fabric from my bridesmaid's dresses. The gown was worn by my best friend. When she had her first dd, I made a dress, hat, and booties from the leftover fabric. Her 2 dds wore it then she sent it back to me when Joy was born. All 3 of my girls wore it. When Lindsay was born, I sent it to Joy. Lindsay wore it home from the hospital just like Joy did.

The overalls were fun to make - I actually just traced a pair he had and then changed it a bit to make my own pattern. The straps have elastic in them, so there are no other snaps or buttons or anything, which makes it real easy to put on and take off, and easy to make!

Nope no pattern for the bear - I just drew a basic outline on paper, then added seam allowance, cut it out, embroidered on a face, sewd all the way around w/ a hole for turning, then stuffed it and sewed up the hole.

Its machine embroidery, and the tree pattern is programmed into the machine already! I just added the text.

That is really cute! And how nice that something made with care has become quite a tradition!

Thanks. The model isn't half bad either. That's Lindsay fresh home from the hospital modeling the dress. Erica's dd, Matilda, also wore the dress. Now it's back in the keepsake box waiting for another granddaughter or a great granddaughter. Matilda wore the dress I made for Angela to wear home from the hospital when she came home. She couldn't wear Erica's dress because that one became a doll dress for Erica's doll and is no longer fit to wear.

Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to share mine because you guys are really talented, but here are the onesies I embroidered for my DD a few months ago. She's outgrown them -- I need to do more in her current size!

Oh, and here are some more I embroidered for a friend's baby shower:
