Project Crawlway: Episodes Two, Three and Four

While in San Diego for the week, mama did some (more) sewing. Except unlike my first dress (shown here) I actually was able to take off my training wheels and give the ol' sewing machine a spin all by myself!

Episode Two: "Design a baby look that you yourself would wear!"

Sweet little A-line top!..

... with bloomers! (Front)

Episode Three: "Sew a two-piece inspired by your bedding!" 

This baby was made c/o the same pattern as the above get-up, except this sucka needed some pockets. (Bloomers and interfacing made with the left-overs from the first design.) 

little CU on the deets: nautical buttons = finishing touch!

I sewed these bloomers all by myself! Hooray!

Episode Four: "Create a dress inspired by 1950's Seaside chic"

Striped A-line with vintage inspired pocket. 

I cut this pocket out of this great 50's era fabric I fell in love with. (I'm planning on making a two-piece jumper set with the rest of it.) 

Each of these outfits cost aprox $10.00 to make (including buttons which are more expensive than the fabrics if you can believe) which means I'm saving big-bucks on my kooky baby-clothes shopping habit. Plus, it's way more fun to say "I made this!" even if my seams are funky and shits a little lopsided and my mom totally helped me. 

Plus, it's satisfying my need to nest on days when it's too hot to cook and scrub toilets.
