What I DO have done

Okay so now that the skirt pattern has been decided, this is what I did get done! I had some material that I got a while back and there was only 1 yard left of both pieces of material so I got both and decided to find a pattern that would fit it for a dress for my girl. I came up with these 2 that she can wear a shirt under. She LOVES them!

I was in love with this first material and I even debated making me a skirt out of it if they'd had more! McCall's 5572
See how cute it is!
The mauve color was so beautiful .I used white for a contrast and then I will finish the bodice top with some fabric flowers.
The ties on top are so cute too. I love this pattern. McCall's 4814
So that's what I have done and now I will be working on my skirt!! YAY!!

Okay, so through my crazy schedule, I plan on sewing this beautiful fabric into something! That something is an...I DON'T KNOW!! Skirt, dress, blouse? Hmmm. This pattern thing is so bold for me. I am thinking skirt. What do you think?
These seem to be some of the choices that a few people picked out.

C, blue shirt.

I also have a simple A line skirt that I didn't get posted up. but that is where I am at with it. Now I just need to decide which one for the material. What do you think?

The Start of a New Wardrobe.

The journey begins! I really LOVE patterned, bright, fun material, but for some reason or another I always go to plain, solid colors! The rest of 2010, I am going to try my hardest to make and create more fun,exciting and colorful clothes for me and for my 3 kids. Maybe even my dear husband. I am sure though that a classic plain color will come around every once in a while! I also love to craft, scrapbook, and cook, so who knows what will be posted!!

Here's my solid color wardrobe! I love the greens, blues, browns and blacks. Can you tell!



I do dress it up with the jewelery that I make so that helps I guess.
This is one of my....oh wait my only patterned clothing that I wear.

So you see that I truly do need a more colorful and patterned wardrobe!!
