Scraps for Ken

Ken never look so good!

This is my 1st ever try on making top/jacket for ken doll. I made lots of pants in the past projects, as I find it simple for beginner diy.

Made from my son left over scrap from his library bag. 

I use snap button instead of velcro.

I was very happy with the results of Ken Jacket, wish I have more of the fabrics to make bigger size for my son.

Bag for a girl

My son's friend carry her library books in a shopping bag, so I decide to quick stitch one up before pickup time to drop it of to her mum. So I was rushing a bit, so I didn't take many pictures.

The only pic I manage to take while making as I only had 3 hours to find all the right fabrics and have my lunch at the same time.

Fresh and Young look.

Hope she likes it :D

Ta-Daa!

Now who's got one cool library bag!

Old - New

Today project midi skirt.

Made today, I use vintage fabric that I  purchase of fb for $3 and vintage zipper for $1 from my local charity shop for this midi skirt with side pockets made from scaps. Sorry for the blurr pic.
