Sew along for babies, toddlers and the older child
Peachy2 Advanced GA USA Member since 6/12/05 Posts: 75	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/23/10 1:09 PM I love to design and sew for my grandkids. I would like to connect with others with similar interest. I have looked all over the forum and have not found such discussions going on. If I have overlooked it, please disregard this thread and direct me to it. Surely there are others out there who love to sew for the lil' ones. At the present time, I'm having the best time sewing for my 2yo toddler dgd. I have older grandkids that I sew for occasionally, but at the present time. I'm on a roll sewing for the 2yo. So if you have an interest in bouncing ideas, patterns, etc. Lets unite and sew for the lil' ones. See ya, Peachy ------ Peachy I love to design and sew. www.peachysews.blogspot.com

Bye the way- I live in GA too! - ------ You can judge the true character of a man by the way he treats the people who can do nothing for him

A 2yo is just so fun to sew for. I like that you don't have a lot of issues with fitting. So what area of Ga do you live? I live in S Ga. ------ Peachy I love to design and sew. www.peachysews.blogspot.com

I do sew for her, but people give us clothes and I always see really cute clothes for her as well. But, I have tons of fabric stashed to make her things. I would love to participate in a sew along. ------ Erin in Dallas http://amateursewist.blogspot.com/

The older ones all love it when I make them things -- whether clothing or otherwise. For Valentine's Day I gave them each a polar fleece hat that I made suitable for their age. I'm now working on spring jackets for each of them which will go in their Easter baskets. I sew out of necessity for my 8 year old grandson -- he is very tall and super slim so Granny gets called on a lot to either alter purchased pants or to make pants from scratch. I would love a little girl to sew for ..... ------ Sheila "sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet" 2012/2013 Stash Busting Sew-Along: 27.25 yards sewn (as of 05/15/13) 21.75 yards purchased (as of 05/15/13)

newmama   Intermediate SC USA Member since 6/28/09 Posts: 367	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/23/10 8:06 PM I think this is a great idea! I have been mostly sewing items for my almost-10-month-old and feel a bit on the fringes on PR sometimes, as most reviews posted seem to be for ladies' garments. I have been trying to sew for myself lately and am finishing up a dress, but I will be cutting out B-6030 tonight! I'm making a little button-up shirt for a friend's baby for his 1st birthday in two weeks and the fabric's in the wash! I also plan to sew another pair of jeans for my DD soon, using S-3582. Oh, and I have a pair of flannel overalls cut from S-2523 that I need to make up soon while they still have a chance of fitting! *ETA: I'm very excited to try sewing clothes for a little man. I think my wiring's a bit mixed up, as I have pretty simple tastes and am not into accessorizing and I ended up with a little girl :) -- Edited on 2/23/10 8:08 PM -- ------ angie http://danikate-designs.blogspot.com/

I'm also replacing the buttons with a zipper. I'm actually doing the medium size since he was a big baby at birth -- 9 lbs 12 ozs and when I saw him again at 6 weeks he was already 14 lbs. ------ Sheila "sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet" 2012/2013 Stash Busting Sew-Along: 27.25 yards sewn (as of 05/15/13) 21.75 yards purchased (as of 05/15/13)

I no longer have little ones to sew for now that Layla is a teenager and prefers Hot Topic type clothing, but I will sew with you all as I'm able and donate my duds to the local homeless shelter or our county's Children's Services dept.. They always need clothing for children who are removed from the home in emergency cicumstances. I have a counter full of UFO's that I drug out the other day, Layla is now 13 and some of the UFO's were a kid's size 7!! ( Now a misses size 8!) Off topic, but do any of you know what happend to the One Dress Foundation? It was a charity that provided dresses to disadvantaged girls on a Native American reservation out west. Their theory was that every little girl should have at least "one dress" to call her own. There used to be several people here on PR who sewed dresses for them. I can't locate the web site anymore, and I really enjoyed making things for them. ------ Brother CE-500PRW, Singer 347,Singer 413, Singer 66, Singer 404, Singer 4622, Electrogrand, Kenmore 158.17570, Kenmore 158.10400, Viking Huskylock 901.... and several others A seam a day Keeps the blues away
