Orange

Here is the latest sewing project!  Can't wait to carry it! 

I purchased the fabric & pattern from Field's Fabrics.  I struggled the most with the curve at the top of the bag.  It took a few times, but the third time was the charm!  I had a lot of fabric left over, so I plan to make one for my mom (to use for her trip to New Mexico)!

Hot Pink Purse/Bag

Love the hot pink!

This is the most recent purse/bag I sewed.  I have really got the bag pattern down pat.  I think I could do it without looking at the directions.  I added the flowers and the buttons in the center of the flowers.  I think if I make another one, it will be slightly smaller with shorter straps.

Sewing Projects

Well, I have been having so much sewing.  Who would have thought?!  It is a good thing that I have my mom to teach me and encourage me.  This pillowcase dress was my first sewing project. 

It turned out so cute!  My Natalie can’t wait to be able to wear it!

The next project was this skirt.  I liked the fabric and thought it would be cute with a white shirt and some black sparkle flip flops or strappy sandals.

I have to admit that when I made it, it was way too big.  My mom had to cut it down.  The one good way to look at my mistake was It gave me more practice putting in a zipper.

The next project was this dress...

It is for my Sophia.  I had more help from my mom.  The pattern had it lined.  I didn’t think it needed to be, so this is where mom came in...She lined only the bodice of the dress.  We kept the layers of the skirt unlined (plan to have my little one wear a diaper cover).  I used a 7/8” ribbon to tie.  I am thinking about having her wear this at Easter.
