New Nightie and Hotpants for the Birthday Girl

Lainey turns two this week and I wanted to make her some new things - a new nightie included. I had originally chosen a nightie pattern I found in the oppy and cut it out. But as I still have my L plates on when it comes to my industrial overlocker I applied too much pressure and made an error on the bottom curve.(My machine can go very very fast and Im not good at using it at such high speeds!) So I trimmed it and put a rib cuff around the bottom...the only problem now being is that its too long for a top and too short for a nightie....so in comes the Cinderella *zwergen* mode hotpants. I made the size that I normally would for Lainey but I forgot to take into consideration the fact she wears a nappy. So I remade them in the largest size.

They are so super sweet!

Both the patterns were super easy to sew (although it too me a little while to get the hang of the gusset in the hotpants). The Cinderella pattern and fabric was from Crafty Mamas, the pink rib from my stash and the nightie pattern from the oppy.

Cinderella *zwergen* mode Lilly Pieced Skirt

This is another one from the Cinderella *zwergen* mode range that I recently picked up from Crafty Mamas. This pattern came in German and so there were a few moments where I had to stop and think about it - but Claudia has put together such a concise pattern with great pics that I had no real problems.

The fabric is denim (which is hard to photograph I think) from my stash, and the contrast is stash from Crafty Mamas. I cant remember exactly what it is but it feels like drill but with a stretch to it.

I love it - the pattern is fabbo and the combination are endless. I will put it with the Angie skirt I made earlier today.

Cinderella *zwergen* mode Angie Summer Shirt

Lisa is now selling the latest and greatest patterns from Claudia of Cinderella *zwergen* mode. When i saw them in the Crafty Mamas shop I jumped in and bought this (along with some of the others!) pattern...the Angie Summer Shirt.

Mike has been home from work ill today and I decided being the caring wife I am to use that to my advantage and sew!

I traced and cut it out last night and sewed it today. I love it. The pattern is well written and the pictures are great for someone like me who is a visual learner! It was clear and easily understood and in no time I had sewn this up!

I used red and yellow Colorado from the Crafty Mamas shop and the monkey boy velour Farbenmix iron on also from the same place. This tp is for Lainey and in the beginning I thought the colours and iron might not be girlie enough but I actually thin they look great and perfect for Lainey.

Thanks Claudia for a wonderful pattern and Im doing the hotpants next!
