EB Swap - My partner, twinklemoon!

So the partner that I sewed for was twinklemoon's little blue fish :) Check out her blog to see what I made!

I can't wait for our next swap!

Here's some of my pics, though seriously check the link above for cute action pics!

This is how I wrapped it up, including my little card (It was folded. Don't ya love the dragonfly? It's so cute! - sorry about the photo being sideways though.)



This is the scoodie (scarf + hoodie) it looks great on (again. check twinklemoons blog! her son makes a great lil model!) Though I just made up the pattern as I went (I'd made one previously for Jasmine, so I guess I'd done it before.. just in a larger size this time). I made cute little bear ears too this time :)




This is the lion design that my boyfriend made up for me, I just had to print it on my special paper and iron it onto the shirt. I was a bit disappointed that the transparent section was tinted instead of clear, but ah well.




These are the overalls I made. It had so many things to sew! like 18 pieces to cut out and put together, plus all the button holes and top-stitching. I only used a single needle, but next time I'm definitely going to try a twin-needle and save half the time.





Here's a bit of a closeup of the fabric and buttons on the overalls:

    Just wondering, with the print did you do it on the printer? Ive read a few things about that lately and was wondering how it works...

    Thanks Becanne! :) I appreciate the comments, they're very inspiring and encouraging!

    Miss Amy - Yep, it's quite easy. You just print it out onto some special iron-on-transfer paper instead of normal paper, then you cut around the print and iron it onto the shirt. You can get the paper from Office Works, though it costs about $30 for 10 sheets.

    Romi you should be so proud of yourself for this outfit - it really is fabulous.

    The overalls are amazing - not only the top-stitching but also all the details such as the faux fly and buttonholes.

    I adore the scoodie - want to make one for my littlest for winter - when I get around to it!!

    Beginner - I don't think so!
