back bow tie...

i tried a new way of making outfits for my girls.
making both of them at the same time (idea credit to laura laura faye).
and i will say...
it felt like i was sewing for forever! but, both the girls got the outfit, and it's done now!
so, i guess this is the way to go when you got two beautiful girls needing to be dressed beautifully!

i saw these back bow tie dresses a little while ago and thought they were stinking cute...
and alyson beat me to the punch!
lucky for me my sewing buddy gave me the pattern!
always nice to have a buddy to sew with!

anyway, aren't they adorable?!
pretty party dresses for sure!

simplicity...

this seriously only took me an hour to do!
really simple pattern, really cute turn out! :)

best part,
it was a walmart pattern...
3.99!

completion...

ok...
so here they are together!
i love it...
really, really love it!

now...
to find somewhere where i can take them in it to "show them off". :)

the first of my "fall line"... (hehe)

alright,
i was up way to late last night sewing....
but, this is just so stinking cute, that i don't mind one bit that i am a zombi this morning!
i still need to finish up nataleys matching ensemble...
but, i just couldn't wait to give a sneak peak!

my little fabric addiction...

i confess, i broke the budget (just a little) tonight at jo-anns.
but heidi grace was calling my name....
30% off kinda calling!

can't you just imagine all the sewing i will be doing?
i can!
but not tonight, i need to catch up on all the sleep i've been missing!

peasant top. jean skirt.

peasant top with matching jean ruffled pants.



i LOVE this.
seriously, it looks way cuter in person then in the picture even.
it was pretty simple to do. i would say after cutting about 2 hours to complete.



jean skirt (made from pants that no longer fit length but still fit waist).


very simple, very fast project.

hello there...

so, like i said over in my other blog this is simply a place for me to stick all my sewing and whatnot.
i don't expect to have fans, or for people to even like the stuff i do.

i really just want to keep track of it all, so that i can go back and look at how my abilities and styles change over the course of time.

so read, and enjoy...
if you want, or not.....
whatever. :)


projects from over the past few weeks.

maddy dress.
it was pretty simple to do. the only part that i would say was difficult was the straps, but then again it was my first time working with bias tape so the fact that i already washed it and it didn't fall apart is pretty good.





ruffle capris
very simple to do, very quick...
very cute!


apron knot dress
story behind this one is that i didn't think i would be able to figure it out the first time i tried it so i used junk fabric.
but, it turned out good. i don't really care for the fabric layout but i will make her ware it anyway.
