Christmas Sewing Has Begun!!

Christmas is getting close now and I have plans to make lots of pretty little 'Mummy made' things for my girls this Christmas.  Over the past few weeks I have been very busy in my sewing room and have made lots of gorgeous little things, all of them are items I haven't made before and they all turned out really sweet, I had to share!

My daughter asked me for some new shorts (because she's growing like mad and has gotten so much taller this past year, half her clothes don't fit her anymore!) so I made her these super sweet Sailor Shorts using the pattern by Brownie Goose, I LOVE the fit and think they are very stylish but the best part is my daughter is SO happy with them :o)

I posted the photo of the sailor shorts on my Sweetdipity page and a lovely customer of mine contacted me about an order she would like to put in for some clothes to give her little girl for Christmas.  I was so happy to make the items for her and I think I am STILL gushing over the prettiness of how they turned out (the photos are below).  I made two pairs of the Brownie Goose Sailor Shorts, the Darling Playsuit by Tadah Patterns, and the Fluttery Playsuit by Little Kiwis Closet.

Here is the GORGEOUS Sailor Shorts with matching Flutterby Playsuit set:

I love them so much and my gorgeous customer was THRILLED with her order.  It was such a fabulous feeling :o)

Now for my Christmas present sewing, I made this sweet little Ariel the Little Mermaid Set for my 5 year old, she LOVES Ariel so I know she will very excited about this set.  The photos didn't turn out very well unfortunately but gosh it's cute, I can't wait to give it to her!  I used the LOL Swing Top pattern by A Jeannine Life, and the Kristine's Ruffled Shorts pattern by Create Kids Couture :o)

And while we're on the Sailor Shorts run, I also made this sweet little pair for my horse loving 8 year old to be put away for Christmas too :o)

I'm pretty proud of my sewing efforts this past month, my sew-jo has been in full swing that's for sure.  It's such a great feeling to sit back and admire what I've made once the items are finished, and such a wonderful, accomplished feeling.  I am so glad sewing is my hobby :o)

What do you plan on sewing for Christmas gifts this year?

Have fun and until next time, happy sewing!!

Love Chryssie xo
