First Dress

So in addition to making the super fast flower belt I decided to sew up a dress. I used a pretty easy pattern. It took a bit of time to make since I was trying to be careful and follow instructions. I apparently am not an 8' tall super model so the dress doesn't look like what their model is wearing BUT it is super comfy and that was the point. Also, that cute belt tied around her waist...yeah...mine was about 2' too long! I am adding in some bad pictures so you can see the results. I need to play with the top a little more to get the shape right but overall I am happy with the results!

Skirts

A few weeks ago I traveled up to Raleigh for some much needed family time and I came back with a few fabulous skirts. I got the skirt pattern from Susan over at West Coast Crafty and it was the best way to start sewing. I will post some pics of the completed skirts when I can get some good shots.




We did find some really pretty fabric but I can't wait to find more. When my mom visits next I am graduating to dresses!
