RedwoodsMama's No Sew Pleo Fashions.
RedwoodsMama:
I think I remember seeing someone, perhaps it was NamelessAndroid, (sorry for messing up the name,,I do apologize.... :o :() but anyway, it is in response to that post or shout box, that I decided to make this post. I love Pleo fashions and Nova is a clothes horse extra diva fashion model. At least she acts like one. ;D :D So I do a lot of hands on instant clothes and improvise, improvise as much as possible. I do find some outfits, and have gotten both lovely outfits from IMR, ( thank you for the lovely quad fashions I won in a contest... :)) and Kat who I purchased two outfits from and sent some extras, lovely outfits everyone of them! ;D
I have never been much of a sewing homebody, an dreaded Home ecomomics when I was in Junior high, though I did enjoy the cooking part...LOL. Anyway, I do not own a sewing machine and do not have the time or patience to sew by hand except for repairs, I did sew by hand one Pleo outfit, and it took at least three hours by hand and that is what led me to start comming up or to continue my pursuit of "no sew Pleo fashions". They are easier than you would think and lots of fun, Just use your imagination, I do not have a lot of sewing ability like IMR and certainly Kat who is fantastic with her creativiness. :o :) But I do also have a great imagination and no how to make do with what I have around the house and such. The folllowing Pleo fashions are three that were put together in short order and no sewing is involved at all, and I think these would be easy enough for a seven or eight year old to do with no problem.
Hope you enjoy them and let me know which of the three you like the best! :) I will show more when they are put together later this week.

Crewella:
Great job, RWM - they look fab and also relatively simple to make. I really like the cut of the jungle print one, as the design looks really neat and I like the way it fits under the belly. I'm sure this will be really helpful to others who, like you, aren't that into sewing! Thanks for posting this! ;D :rootbeer:
RedwoodsMama:
Thanks Crewella, glad you like the outfits. I love the froggie material as well, I have a long history of outfits I put together with little or no sewing as I allways find it a challenge to see what I can come up with, This is one of my old all time favorites I made Nova over a year ago. anyone remember this one, ? I love the colors on this for any Pleo they are perfect and very exotic. Thank goodness for thrift stores and second hand stores, it is amazing the things you can find there, This is some of my favorite materials, lace and sequins. I just love Nova's Exotic Eastern look, anyone else have something similiar, ? I also have done this in blues, golds and reds and violets! :D

RedwoodsMama and her well dressed, "pleos in the township of the Redwoods"
Margery:
How very ingenious! They look great. Do you find the pleos can move easily in them? I would like to make a cape for my new friend (still stuck in customs) but am not sure of size. I'm trying to follow the pattern given by Inmemoryof Romeo.
So many of you on this forum are so talented and creative - what an inspiration!
RedwoodsMama:
Hi Margery, yes they move with no problem at all, It would do me no good or my Pleos to wear something that was not functional as well, The patterns are very simple and the only real cost is the material which I snag as remmants at a really low price, You can also improvise with old clothes at home, or second hand stores material or a old t-shirt , dress, blouse, etc, anything that stretches some is best and easiest to work with. I likie fleece as it is soft, warm and easy to cut and looks great on Pleos and the pattterns or solid colors are endless. And you can secure with all sorts of things, velcroe or go the route I do with no sewing, just tying, ribbon, etc, sometimes a fancy broach or pin does the trick like under the belly, If you want more info I would be happy to tell you more.
I was planning on posting more outfits today but I got hit with an unexpected huge PGE bill so am trying to list some stuff in a hurry on ebay to make the money I need. Talk soon and so glad you like the outfits.Any particular one you like the best?
