Spiderman Pajamas Part 3

My 98th completed sewing project for 2008!


These are the spiderman jammies that I made for my 3-year-old nephew. It might not look it in this picture, but he was really pleased with his new pajamas. We then took pictures with both of the boys and our baby boy doll together. I think we will have to do this photo shoot again in March when our little infant baby boy can wear his spiderman pajamas.

Spiderman Pajamas Part 2

My 95th completed sewing project for 2008!


So after I cut out the 2 pairs of pajamas for my nephews, and then decided there was enough fabric to make my little baby boy a pair of spiderman pj's, so I cut those out. There were still some decent sized scraps leftover, so I drew up a pajama pattern for this baby. This baby doll is an anatomically correct baby boy doll that Ben got to use for work when he had kids that have been sexually abused. Since we found out that we are having a boy, Ben has let the girls borrow it at home to play with. Well the baby didn't have any clothes and I thought it was high time that this little baby boy had some clothes to wear, so FINALLY this baby has some clothes that actually fit him, and now he is more appropriate for when Ben wants to take him back to work.

We had Ben's sister for Christmas that has 2 little boys. The 3 year-old loves Spiderman so we thought matching spiderman pajamas for the boys would be a lot of fun. This is little Dean wearing his Spiderman jammies, doesn't he look excited?!

Yoga Mat Bags

My 92nd and 93rd completed sewing projects for 2008!


The girls are getting yoga mats for Christmas and so of course they had to have bags for their mats to go into. So I used some of Ben's old khaki pants that he could no longer use, and cut off the legs to make the yoga mat bags and then appliqued the girls' names on the bags.

Baby Doll Body

My 91st completed sewing project for 2008!

the completed doll that Prairie got for Christmas

I am very very picky about baby dolls. I don't want my girls to just play with any baby doll, I want it to be a doll that I think is very cute, and so I am very selective about what I let into your home on the baby doll basis. Prairie got a baby doll for her 1st birthday, but it is a very small doll, and more difficult to make clothes more. Recently she has gotten really into dressing her doll, but we don't really have clothes to fit her doll, and there are a lot of clothes to fit Auutmn's doll.

I thought it would be nice if Prairie had a doll the same size as Autumn's doll. But like I said I am very picky. Well sometime during the summer, like in June I found a doll head that I really liked at the local thrift store, but I hated the limbs on it. Well I searched and searched on the internet and could never find a good place to buy doll replacement limbs. So finally I was at the thrift store again and found a doll that had perfect limbs for my baby doll. So I hijacked the two dolls and switched the heads, and actually made an entire new body for the doll for Prairie.

My mom a year ago replaced the body for Autumn's doll because her doll is about 24 years old, and it was wearing out, so I had the original body as a pattern, so that the dolls would be the same size.

If I were to redo it I would know better how to make sure the doll actualyl had shoulders, but it turned out pretty well.


The orignal body and limbs of the head used for Prairie's baby, and then I put that second head with that body (so this is the baby that is getting donated back to the thrift store, because I really do not like the limbs or the head)

Fish Curtains for Windows

My 90th completed sewing project for 2008!



I just made some simple window topper curtains for the girls' room window that matched the fabric for the shelf curtains. I also got another fish printed fabric with the aqua as the main color to do a sheet for the crib for our baby boy. It should look really cute.

Baby Doll Froggy Blanket

My 89th completed sewing project for 2008!



This is the quilt that I made for Prairie's baby doll crib, and this is all the bedding put together and all ready for Christmas.

Fireplace Curtains

My 88th completed sewing project for 2008!





I made these curtains to go under the fireplace to hide all the toys. They are hung up with velcro, and there is splits about every 2 ft so that the toys are easier to get to. I am really happy with how the curtains turned out.
