I recently created a set of patterns and pattern instructions for my 6 year old niece. Her Christmas present was a sewing kit of her own so she can sew clothing to match her Journey Girl Doll, of course her 4 year old sister wanted the same gift, so I put together something similar for her to.
My Dad and Brother have called my craft room "The Hobbit Hole" ever since we moved into this house 3 years ago, many people think calling it a hobbit hole is mean, but the definition of a hobbit hole is:
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. (found on wikipedia under Hobbit)
And yes, my craft room is in a basement with full daylight, perfect for crafting:)
Here's a picture of the design I recently used for my nieces envelope patterns

Crafting for Christmas
I just finished n sent sent off a box of gifts for an advent calendar, so there won't be pics for a while.
I'm starting on family christmas gifts, so won'tbe posting pics of that, but there will be decoration pics, and maybe even a few holiday tutorials as the season draws nearer.

the hippo is rockin' the tutu - but not for long
Island barbie princess dress
my inspiration
my version
My version is a knee length, and not totally complete yet, a few more finishing touches, and there will also be shorts. I made it so the front pink part stretches so it will fit for a while and can be added to the dress up box after her birthday. The blue swirls on mine were hand painted using glitter fabric paint.

new jammies coming right up.
my niece is outgrowing some fleece one piece jammies she got 2 years ago, and I had some leftover fleece from my sweater,
so I asked her mom if I should make her some new ones, the answer was yes. I couldn't find slipper sole fabric around here, so I made my own.
On a side note, I had made 8 piggies, possibly for a centerpiece for her birthday, but I am down to 6 that are still in tact, and 2 that need repair - thank goodness for glue.
Carmel got to them last night, but this morning he was so polite he showed me where he took it, I had to set him up with another one, it was just to cute to watch him licking and pawing it.
