MetroBoutique: February 2010
http://metroboutique.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. The pictures are not the greatest but along with the instructions, it is the best I could find. Quite helpful. To quilt it together I stitched in the ditch so the pattern on the top wouldn't get too busy. I used a thread that went well with the flannel on back because that is where you would see it most.

MetroBoutique: July 2012
http://metroboutique.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. And I saw a pattern for tank tops. For boys from Fishsticks and Fries. Here are the steps I took:. 1 Right sides together, stitch the shoulders together. 2 Hem the sleeve ends by rolling the fabric under 1/4" and stitching down. Since knits don't fray I did not roll over to cover the raw edges. That helps keep down the bulk. Pattern has a great description of how to fit the neck edge on without having some areas too tight and others too loose. Quilt for a Girl. I am a horticultural...

MetroBoutique: November 2010
http://metroboutique.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. For the pants I used New Look 6861. I only needed about 1 yard total. Fleece fabric. I used 1" cotton elastic for the waist. It is important to baste down the seam allowances all around the pants before making the casing and stringing in the elastic to keep the elastic from bunching and getting stuck. I forgot about the seam where I connected the white with the black fabric so the elastic is a little funky now. In white for the front closure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

MetroBoutique: June 2011

Monday, June 13, 2011. Baby Pants and Shoes. My friend just had a baby so I made her some newborn pants and shoes. The brown pants are made of a soft, very pliable corduroy that someone gave me a while back. The others are flannel. For both pants I used Made by Rae. S Newborn Baby Pants Pattern. For the shoes, I used a modified version of the Stardust baby shoes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a horticulturalist who decided to stay home full-time.

MetroBoutique: August 2011
http://metroboutique.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Make the pocket first. Fold the piece in half longways so you have a piece that now measures 5"x9". Top stitch along the folded edge with about 1/4" seam allowance. Place on the front piece of outer body fabric. Position, stitch to form desired pockets. Trim the pocket fabric to be even with the outer body fabric. Raw edges will be eliminated in the bag assembly. Sandwich all of the pieces together, right sides together, flap tucked in between the lining and the bag body. ...

I think my biggest trouble came because it was plastic so when the instructions explained how to shorten the zipper, it didn't work on the plastic teeth. I ended up just hiding it in...Secon...
