Here's the back view.  It was a little wide in the back, so we pinned it up.

The Tardis Dress

Here's a dress I made for C for her bday last year.  I ordered the material online from spoonflower (http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/758688).

Here it is modeled by her dress form.

I made the dress a little bigger by adding bias tape around the zipper.  There's also a little bias tape on the other side of the bodice, but I didn't take a picture of that.   That's also a pocket there.  I love a pattern with pockets!

The hat: it came out a little pointed.

Fun stitches on the hat!

Beatles Bag

Here's one I made for my sister a while ago.  I think my skills are improved since then.

Vinyl on vinyl again.  The records are juke box ones I got at Amoeba in Hollywood.

This is pre-light box, pre-canon T2i photography here as well.

Changing pad of awesomeness.

 C and I made this changing pad for our friends impending baby.

We used this youtube tutorial and just changed it a bit: http://youtu.be/_cagZqGQ2-w.

I cut out the pieces and printed the pictures of their cat on the fabric and C sewed the business together.  Teamwork!
