The Birthday Outfits

I think that the pink"wrap" dress is one of my favorite patterns now. I fell in love with the design of it and the material.

I also love the brown/flower top and skirt. The skirt was this tutorial that I found online. I also decided to add some shirring to the middle to help gather in the top a bit since the skirt is so full. My sweet daughter is trying to hold it up with her chin so I could take a picture! What a good girl.
Now I think maybe I'll get around to making something for me .....maybe......just maybe..... :D

A Dress For a Birthday

So I spent the last week finishing my Daughters Birthday clothes and her dress that she wanted to wear on her Birthday. I had lots of material left over from my skirt that I made and she really loved the colors and pattern of it so she asked if I could make something with it, so this is what she got. She was a happy girl when she saw it, which makes me a happy Mom.

New Jewels

I now have jewelery to wear with my pink "stuff" !! Making jewelery is yet another hobby I LOVE to do!! If you haven't tried it yet..DO!
Now back to sewing. I need to start on my daughters dresses for her birthday coming up in 2 weeks!

Finished Project

So I finally had time to sit and finish my skirt! I love it, and it was pretty easy to sew up. I decided to add the navy ribbon on the bottom to add a bit more to it. I must say though, being the first pleats I have sewn, I LOVE PLEATS!!! I think I am addicted to them! They are flattering to my figure(I can use any help,hehehe!) and they add such a fun style. I have the PERFECT blue shirt to match and I plan on making some Hot pink jewelery to go with it. I'll post it when it's finished.

Independence Day Skirt

Okay, today is the last day of school and my dear daughter will be in 2nd grade with my son! It's a beautiful thing! SO, no skirt for me, BUT I did finish My daughters' for her for the 4th. It only took 1 hour!.....at 11:40 PM!! Yeah, I promised it would be done for her to wear for church and I had forgotten to do it that week so I stayed up after my date night until 12:40 AM to finish it! She loved it though and got lots of compliments. Now to finish mine for next year, I guess.
So here it is... Silly face and all!
