90 Minute Success!
Several times, I have attempted Dana’s 90 Minute Shirt. And for whatever reason, I could not get the neckline to fit the right way. So I basically gave up and decided that my kiddos are just destined to wear homemade shirts with plain, boring necklines.
Well, no more! I have triumphed over the 90 Minute Shirt!
Continuing to post my Upcycled Christmas gifts, these were made for another nephew – who, lucky for me, is nearly the same size as my one-year-old, which meant I could try everything on him to make sure it should fit – yay for close in age cousins!
The pants came from a sweatshirt (re-using the existing hem for the bottom of the pants), and the shirt came from a larger shirt (re-using the ribbing from the shirt’s neckline to make the neckline — the one that was a success on the first time for this shirt, I might add)
I could also call this the Serger Christmas, since I have now mastered one stitch on my beloved serger. So I guess a good goal for 2011 would be to master more than one stitch….
(And P.S. all these lovely niecies and nephews also got homemade play dough… I just can’t be the auntie who gives only clothing… I need them to think I’m at least a little bit fun.)
Hey great outfit! I hear ya on the serger, I am learning very slowly how the whole serger thing works. It scared me for two years and now I think I have a decent handle on it. Now one of these days I am going to have to change the thread.

This is so cute, and looks so professional! And the dresses from the last post are amazingly adorable. You are really rocking the Serger. I bet all your niecies and nephews were thrilled, lucky kids!!
