Car Seat Cover and Superhero Doll- More Sewing projects

I've been on another sewing kick lately. This car seat cover was for a friend who is having a baby soon. It was very easy to make although I butchered a corner pretty badly:) I didn't use a pattern but just eyeballed it with a friends carseat. I used a yard of the gray zebra fabric and a yard of the soft yellow chenille fabric, both found at Joanne's. 
 This was a doll for a birthday party. 
I purchased a pattern at Dolls and Daydreams for this one and it was very detailed and easy to follow. The instructions were visually pleasing to the eye and I would highly recommend using any pattern form her shop. The cool thing is that you can sell your creations as long as you give credit to her shop. This little superhero also has a pair of glasses and a bowtie and both glasses can actually be worn.
Both were fun things to work on. I just am amazed that these things can be created out of a piece of fabric with minimal effort. I think that is why I enjoy sewing so much.

Sewing Projects

I went thru a sewing craze this past month. I was able to get three dresses sewn for the girls dolls. They turned out so cute and were very easy to make once I figured the pattern out. I also made a few doll headbands to match:) I also sewed an apron and chef hat for Ella and her doll to match. 
And chef hats for her party guests. It was very fun and all the patterns I found online for free:) 


My mom got the girls little dog purses a while back and Elijah loved to carry them around. So, I decided to pick one up for him but remake it so it would be more appropriate for him to carry around.. hence SUPERDOG! I cut off the bows, added a mask and cape and now it is a man bag:) not a purse!

 And lastly, I recovered all my pillows for a more fresh look and made new curtains for the living room. 
 It was fun while it lasted and now I will wait for the next surge of inspiration to take me!
