Smock dress – 3 years old

sample-photo1
By the by, this model is 3years old. I made the dress with flower motif fabric. I can also recommend you to try and make it with plain color fabric and put a cute ribbon. I’m sure it would look lovely. Or why not try a different fabric for sleeves. That’ll be cute!

Iron ruler

Do you use an iron ruler when you fold hems and the likes?
I always use them because I don’t need to draw guide line!

iron-ruler1
You can also make them if you cannot find the ruler around.
Draw the line as below on the thick paper. That’s it! It can come in handy in your sewing:)

What to do when the trousers have a hole?

embroidery
My son loves these trousers (actually I also do), unfortunately they got a hole on the knee and he did not want to wear them anymore. I unstitched the side of the pants and embroidered over the hole with my machine. I have an innovis 80α by Brother. This machine is not expensive and does very good work. I am using this machine only for embroidery but actually it is a computer sewing machine and it does lots of other things.
