Baby jeans

12 July 2011 in re-design, Trousers by piia | 2 comments

My friend asked me to make some baby jeans for her little bellybaby who will be born later this year. She wanted colourful sets that would fit nicely for both a boy or a girl. I made few jeans out of her old stretchy jeans that were nice and soft for baby clothing. I added giraffe applique in the front and small pockets at the back. Yellow ribbing gives nicely colour to the dark denim. The size is 68cm.

Another pair in size 62cm got orange ribbing for colour and an owl applique in the front. Both of them turned out really cute. I just can’t wait to see the little one wearing them!

Few colourful pouches

10 July 2011 in Accessories by piia | No comments

I have been making bunch of colourful pouches lately with different cute animal appliques. I think in the summertime I just want to make colourful combinations in what ever I sew and it seems my yellow and green fabrics seem to tempt me the most. Those are the summer colours for me ;)

Here are few details on some of the new pouches. They have found a home already, but I will try to get some more done for the Retrobug shop too. It is getting close to the due date here, so my schedules are a bit off. Napping seems to take priority in many occasions ;) I wonder when this little baby will decide to come to this world.. Less than four weeks to go. :)

Red bunny dress

31 May 2011 in Dresses by piia | No comments

Here’s a little red dress for a little one year old girl. The dress is made of red velor and has bunny applique in front. Long sleeves are handy for chilly Spring or Summer days and the cut is nice and wide so it is also comfortable to wear.

I am busy packing and sewing and getting everything ready for few weeks of holiday. I am going to Finland with Onni while I still can fly with this belly passenger of mine. ;) I do hope it will be sunny and warm. So, it will most likely be quiet here in the blog, but I hope you all are enjoying the Summer where ever you are. :) See you in few weeks.

Pretty in pink

I found a small piece of this adorable pink vintage fabric and I just had to make a little wrap up dress out of it. Isn’t this just perfect for a little baby princess? The dress is size 68cm and is closed in front with press buttons. The top has pink lining. I must say I love it even though I am not a big fan of pink. If only I had a little princess to wear something like this ;)

You can find this pink dress in Retrobug Shop.

Happy Monster

25 May 2011 in Shirts by piia | 2 comments

I made this happy monster shirt for Onni today. He is into monsters these days, as well as dinosaurs. Anything that growls is cool and he sure likes to play one too. :) There is a lot of growling in the house these days. But it is ok, as long as the monsters and dinosaurs are nice. And they are. If they do something naughty, Onni is very strict to put them in the naughty corner and have them apologize. ;) So cute!

Baby bunnies

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here on the blog (Sorry about that!!) but I have been busy making bunch of stuff. There has been lot of bunny clothing for little kiddies in the making as well as some summer skirts for bit bigger girls. Now I finally got to take pictures and show you some of them.

This bunny outfit is for a little baby boy and it is size 70cm. It is made of soft velor and the hood has a white lining. I added press buttons in front in stead of zipper because in such a small clothing I feel they are more comfortable. :) The trousers are off white and have no side seams. Comfy comfy! It is nice to make a bit more calm coloured clothing for a change and not just bright reds and oranges all the time.

Bunch of bunnies

So, here comes my first pile of spring hats. A bunch of different bunnies jumped to these ones made of jersey, velor and terry. The lining is white jersey. All of them are size 2-4 yrs and they will go to Retrobug Shop. :) I think the stripy terry hat is my favorite. So cute and springy. Perfect for the sunshine outside. ;) Now I gotta tackle those Robots, I promised to Onni. What else would look cute on a hat? Any ideas? :)

Spring hats on the way..

29 March 2011 in Hats by piia | No comments

Spring is on its way. I can feel it. It is so nice to wake up in the morning when it is light outside. I just can’t wait for the summer! It is also time to start making some spring clothing and especially hats. I made this Robot hat to a little girl whose daddy sells robots. :) When Onni saw the hat he instantly wanted one for himself too. So, I guess I have to become a Robot factory myself ;)

I have however bunch of bunny hats on the making. I just need to add final touches before showing them to you. So more of them tomorrow.. Have a lovely spring day everyone!

Bunny dress

27 March 2011 in Dresses by piia | 2 comments

What a week it has been. Onni got chickenpox a bit over a week ago and I have been stuck inside with him ever since. An energetic three year old stuck inside for over a week is not a good combination, trust me. Fortunately he is all well now and got to go outside to play and spend some of that energy of his ;)

So, I finally got to spend some time at my sewing machine. ( I started having some withdrawals already ;) This bunny dress is for a little four year old girl. I do hope she likes the end result. I was going to put brown ribbing on the collar but it felt too dark a combination so I ended up using bright apple green ribbing instead. The green velor has this olive tone so it was nice to brighten it up a bit with lighter tone. There are yellow press buttons on the shoulder and a singing bunny appliqued in front. Those bunnies are always so cute, no matter how many dresses I make with them ;)

p.s. Sorry about the odd colours in the photo. I am hoping the sun would show up again after the loooong Winter, so I can take good pictures again ;)

Dinosaur hoodie

9 March 2011 in Sweaters by piia | No comments

Onni has a costume party at his kindergarten today and I wanted to make him a costume that is still comfortable and easy to wear the entire day. I also prefer making clothing that can be worn in everyday life as well and not just in costume parties. Since dinosaurs are the thing right now in his games, we decided to make a dinosaur hoodie for him. It is comfy to wear as it is made of green, yellow and brown velor. I added some spikes at the back seam and a appliqued a dinosaur foot mark in front of the hoodie as a detail. The little dinosaur seemed happy with his outfit and was practicing dinosaur sounds and moves before he headed to kindergarten. ;)
