DIY A very very colorful super fluffy jumpsuit for at home

Posted on April 8, 2024 by justelly1

I actually wanted to post my last project before Easter, but I forgot.
This weekend I finally got around to taking the photos.
I didn’t sew the jumpsuit at home, but in a sewing class, because anyone who has ever cut and sewn fleece knows that you will find fluff EVERYWHERE afterwards! 😀

A bit mean, but I helped the sewing teacher to get rid of all the fluff with the vacuum cleaner.

I’m one of those women who is always freezing. So if you’re sitting at the sewing machine or at the table for a long time, for example, you don’t want to do that with a warm blanket. It restricts your movement.
But fleece is the perfect solution. It’s super soft, comfortable to wear and keeps you nice and warm.

Simply perfect for at home. Of course I would never leave the house in it 😀 but I didn’t plan it for that.
At the moment I’m already working on the 2nd jumpsuit so that I can always change in winter ❤

And here is my super colorful soft jumpsuit. I made it in the largest size so that I have plenty of space to move in it.

Cute little girl’s dress including tutorial

Do you remember your first day at school?

The excitement to finally going to school like your one year older brother? To know you will learn how to read, write, count? To make new friends, say good bye to some of your Kindergarten friends?

It was such a big step for me but I dont remember much. But what I remember is the new dress I got for this special day.

Now little Miss M. will have her first day at school and I choosed the pattern from my Mickey Mouse dress to sew a new dress for her “big day”

If you like this pattern you can find it (model 126) in this magazine:

Burdastyle Link

So many blogs I read so far helped me with sewing tips and tutorials.

This is the reason to do my own tutorial for a girls dress and give back some of the help

Here is my tutorial:

Little dress with Mickey Mouse fabric

Posted on July 5, 2017 by justelly1

Did you read Mickey comics, watched Mickey on TV as a child? Went more than once to Disney Land?

Yes? Me too hehe

When I saw this fabric I had to have it.

I didnt knew at first what to do with this fabric. Then I found this pattern in a sewing magazine and used this cute fabric

the shoulders arent sewed they are closed with a knot

unfortunality I couldnt found the same red fabric as in my Mickey fabric for the pockets. Instead I used blue fabric which came out quite well 🙂

Sewing more skirts for a little girl

Posted on June 28, 2017 by justelly1

My longtime project is done (jacket) and I had time to make a skirt again.

This gnome skirt I made weeks ago.

I’ve seen this fabric and knew it would be a cute skirt for Miss M. 😀

The next skirt I finished today.

I love dots, I love stripes. ❤ ❤ ❤

Why dont use one of the fabrics for a little skirt? I embellished it with 2 pirate girls on the pockets and white lace.

Instead of one 1 I used 3 small elastics here. It looks way better then the skirt above 🙂

My own sewing Masterpiece – a jacket

Posted on June 10, 2017 by justelly1

When I started working in the laboratory I shared my office with a co-worker. Over the years she became my favorite because she always has been calm when it has been stress at work and I could always talk with her when I had problems.

We even had the same habit to be very picky in all we do hihi

Now she retired 😦

Of course she got a departing gift when she left but I wanted to make her something special.

She loves to wear jackets all the time. I asked her if she would like to have a new one made by me and she said yes 🙂

I made a lot of photos from all fabrics suitable for jackets in my fabric store.

She choosed “her” fabric and I started my first jacket in my sewing course. Lets say it straight, without help in my course I couldnt have made it!

A jacket with “her” fabric only would have been too boring. So I added some black woolen to it.

For cutting the fabric I needed 3 saturdays!!! I wanted the pattern be perfect.

Yes I’m picky hihi 😀

To make this jacket needed way more time then I expected but it was worth all this time.

I call this jacket my Masterpiece ❤ ❤ ❤

I’m still missing you at work Misses H. 🙂

On the next photos you can see why I needed 3 sewing courses to cut the fabric!

Skirts, skirts, skirts for a little girl

Posted on March 16, 2017 by justelly1

A co-worker has a cute little 6 year old daughter who ❤ ❤ ❤ skirts.

Good luck for her I have a lot of fabric for children 😀

So I startet to sew skirts for her. It doesnt need this much time like it does with my stuff. And its the first time I have sewn something for a child.

Its very funny but you can see which skirt I made first. The seam for the pockets is way to far from the edge

the 2nd skirt. I added a white velvet ribbon

This skirt needed more time to sew than all skirts I did so far. I wanted the pockets perfect with the fabric pattern and I did it 🙂

The next one 🙂

and skirt number 4. This skirt is the best I did so far

Here you can see Miss M. with her new skirts ❤

I just “designed” the next skirt on paper. Now I have to sew it.Maybe this weekend I will have the time to do it.

Mini dress with ruffles

Posted on March 16, 2017 by justelly1

Yeah Its really me. I’m still alive hehe

I used my favorite pattern again ! This time I made my mini dress with ruffles

Take a look 🙂

Here a closer look with the ruffles

This old-fashioned looking brooch I found on the internet and wanted it for my dress 🙂

Yes I know I should have ironed my dress before doing the photos but I just wanted to save time 😀

My new sewn dresses with matching chucks

Posted on September 11, 2015 by justelly1

Didnt knew it has been this long since my last post. I have been very busy.

I’m still going every saturday to my sewing course and I still love it sooooo much

Here a few photos of my last projects. I made the photos with matching chucks because I have a lot of them and I really like to wear them ❤ ❤ ❤

I dont know exactly how many chucks I have – over 30 for sure. My most important colors I have in high and low hihi

My last project is a jacket I made last weekend. It looks soooo cool. The jersey inside is nautical as are the colors. My chucks too hehehe

But see for yourself

I made dresses for me too. ME with dresses !!!! Usually I wear jeans, shorts, but never dresses. But I found a pattern I really liked. Can you believe I searched over 2 months for the fabric? At the beginning I didnt knew what fabric I wanted, but whatever fabric I have seen I didnt liked for my dress.

But 2 months ago I went to a fabric market and at the end of the day I found it !!!! And I knew THIS fabric would be the first dress for me since ages LOL

Isnt this fabric cute ???? The buttons has been Brigid’s idea. Old fashion style hehehe

I liked my first dress this much that I made the next one with the same pattern.

I bought a bodice few months ago at ebay. I planned to wear it this summer. But it has been a little to short.

But when my first dress has been done, I have seen that my bodice has been only a few inches longer then the upper part of my dress. I decided to use it for my next dress.

I shorten the bodice, changed the buttons and put the skirt on it. Take a look how perfect my seam looks like ❤ The ribbon is only decoration. But I liked how it looked like with this dress.

As you can see the fabric ist nautical – again hehehe. See the cute buttons on the bodice? Found them on the internet.

Both dresses are the same pattern but because of the bodice I had to change the skirt. This dress the skirt gets closed with buttons.

Over the last months I made a lot of shirts. But this two shirts are my favorites.

This fabric is a special one: one side is red with white stripes, the other side is blue with white stripes. The fabric is thin enough to wear it from spring to fall. I made one shirt with each color.

My next post will be with photos from my vacation. I have been on a beach and made over 2000 photos. I have to sort them all and choose what to post 🙂

New fabric for spring and Easter – couldnt stop buying it

Posted on March 23, 2015 by justelly1

The new fabric collection for spring and Easter is out.

I couldnt resist. The new fabrics are too cute 🙂

This fabrics are for decoration at home. I will make baskets, tableclothes and stuffed animals.

I know I bought to much, but hey, I can make gifts for family and friends 🙂

I also got new nautical fabric

do you see the one with the stripes? One side is blue, the other side is red. This fabric is a little thicker. I;m not sure will I sew 2 shorts or one 5 pocket jeans?

The 2 fabrics on the left will get blouses, the dark blue is jersey and will get a nice tee

The nautical fabrics are from my fabric store where I’m learning to sew. Every saturday I tell myself not to buy a new fabric. But when I see the new ones I had to have them hehe
