7 DIY Holiday Gift Ideas for Mom of a Baby Girl

November 23, 2017 By Chie

girls apron DIYI have recently been doing a much needed overhaul of my site. My site is finally mobile friendly! You don’t have to pinch in to zoom when you are looking from your phone. I’m very excited about that:) My new theme is from Lovely Confetti – Christina has many beautiful, romantic and modern WordPress themes. As I was making the updates, I flipped through the old blog posts and I thought it might be fun to take a look back in my archives and showcase some fun gifts I made in the past. Since I have daughters, most projects have a girl focus, so it would be great to give to mom of girls for upcoming Holiday. First up is this little ruffle apron. I made it when Kiko was two but she still wears it to do tea parties or when she does cooking lessons at her daycare. nursing cape tutorial

I made this for my friend as a gift and it took her through her entire nursing period! It is so easy to make. The tutorial comes with an easy-to-follow diagram.Deer head tutorialGreat addition to kid’s room wall. When you look for deer head decor in stores, it is quite expensive but you can make your own with  dollar store clay and a stick from the park! DIY silk eyemaskHow about gifting a handmade silk eye mask for a new mom? It might come in handy when taking a nap with her newborn. plaid wool skirt for little girlThis little plaid skirt is a great project for a sewing beginner. You only need a small amount of fabric, and it is all straight sewing! DIY tutorial how to make a diaper cakeIn this post, I wrote about how to make a diaper cake and use embroidery chain stitch to make a card. Last but not least, here is a post on daisy print little girl’s dress. I also made a kimono cardigan using the same fabric.

How to Make Spaghetti Straps

November 16, 2017 By Chie

このページを日本語で読む

 

youtube video how to make spaghetti strapsIn my 10 years of garment sewing, this is the first dress I made in true red. I was requested this particular dress from a photographer who is planning a fall shoot in Showa Kinen park this week. He is hoping to use the dress to catch the colors of changing leaves. I don’t know if I will have an occassion to wear such a dress myself, but it was fun to make! The bodice is made out of satin and the skirt has wrinkled chiffon layers on top of half circle satin skirt. Chiffon layers are actually streamers as opposed to one connected skirt, so it should be fun to play around with them for the photos. red dress long handmade red showstopper dresssewing red carpet dress try onI made Spaghetti straps to go criss cross at the back, and took a short video clip of how to make them. I’ve made them many times and this method which uses a cord might be the easiest. You sew a strap fabric folded (right side in) with a cord inside, and utilize the cord to turn the strap inside out. My trick is to sew the top and bottom openings a bit wider than actual strap width, so the turning goes smoother. You can cut off the wide parts later so the whole strap is the even width.

Watch the video for the details here.
