More 90 Min Shirts and A New Toy

I've had a few more 90 Min shirts cut out and waiting to be sewn up for a few weeks now.  As my mother-in-law says, some projects have to "cure" for a while before they're ready.  :) 

I love the way this simple little yellow/orange-y striped shirt came out.  So simple, but it just screams summer to me.  Yay!

It came together so quick.  Any guesses as to why?  :)

Next up, this kind of funky little pair of pajamas. 

I used Dana's 90 Min Shirt tutorial for the top and Rae's Newborn Baby Pants pattern and tutorial (you can see how I lengthened them HERE) for the bottom.  Both came together super quick.

And both were made from this one pair of adult-size thermals.  (Which I got for free at our neighborhood swap.  Sawheeeet.)

The top came out rather funky (due to me trying to make my new toy do things it's not meant to do), but it actually looks pretty normal on.

When Olivia came out to the living room in the morning and saw all the new sweet digs I made her, she asked to wear the PJ's right away.  So--duh--of course I let her.  :)

Aren't we cute?

And, last but not least, this sweet little blue and white stripey shirt.  (Also made from a shirt I got for free at our neighborhood swap.)

I love the crisp, mature look of this shirt.  Bright colors are fun, but sometimes it's nice to dress Olivia in normal clothes.  Ya know?

The shirt it was made from had these cute little scrunchy sleeves, so I kept that intact as I cut the child-size sleeves and sewed them in.  Adorable and sophisticated and feminine, no?

She had a fun time playing outside in it.  Along with her jeans and shoes and hair clip I made.

Partly because I had everything cut out ahead of time (well, for the first and last shirt, but not the PJ's) I was able to make all three shirts and the one pair of pants all in one night!  But, ya know, having a new friend around helped too.

Yes, that's right, my trusty little sewing machine now has a new friend.  A serger!  Yay!  Hooray!  Yippee!

And it's really thanks to all of you.  Because I paid for it entirely out of proceeds from my shop.  Which is SO AWESOME.  Thank you to everyone who's bought anything from THE SHOP! 

It happily sits there next to my sewing machine, making its magic. 

What?  No more sewing a seam and then having to go back and sew a zigzag over everything? 

And speaking of happy things, Bryan was kind enough to let me rearrange our room again to make room for the new friend.  So now my little sewing space is situated on the other side of the room (on top of a $3 cupboard door from the AS IS section at IKEA).

And the ironing board got moved over next to the bed, below the window where my sewing desk used to be.  Uhh... it might also be multitasking as a night stand right now.  Did I mention that Bryan is an awesome husband?  He is.

Here's to making things!
