Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

First a custom made crochet hook organizer ordered at a craft show For the baby's jumper - navy blue baby cord with a lining and trim from cotton, Dena Designs, bought at the LQS, Seams Like Home. I also have covered buttons from a vintage kit and vintage lace on the hem.

I have been sewing alot lately. I had booths in two craft shows, table runners, crayon rolls, other items. Did pretty well, too, for church related shows. I am now finishing my holiday dress from a vintage Simplicity and attempting to make a little wrap from a McCalls pattern with the free HP wrap on Fabric.com as its inspiration for the opening/drape. Not really sure about it at this point. We have a K of C dinner this weekend so I got to finish tomorrow. Next up, holiday dresses for the girls. The baby is easy, just a straight size 2 overall, but she is thin and long waisted. Her height is 36", she has a B to W of 10" and needs a 15" skirt to fall under the knees. In comparison, the oldest at 9 is 54" tall, needs a B to W of 13", I think (the paper I wrote on is in the kitchen). So I will post more later - we're going Christmas shopping this morning while the kids are in school :)

For such short notice, I feel like it went ok. I sold four of these crayon rollups in various prints, these are the two I have left and are in my etsy shop. Sold a variety of things, now I have a better feel for what people are looking for. I may try some other locales in the area. Now, back to S2473 tomorrow...

I am making small items for our church's upcoming craft sale. So far, I am concentrating on little girl hair clips, children's apron/smocks, decorated onesies. It is December 6th, so I have a little time but not much. If I get that far, I may try twirly skirts and diaper covers to match the onesies. I must be crazy, I have Christmas dress fabric ready to go, other things in the works, but no, I decided to have a table and try to sell some things. I may list them in the etsy shop as well. Like I said, I am a bit crazy... Not really.
