i sewed it, and didn't screw it up!!

i did it, i made emily's patchwork skirt!!  ok, so its not perfect-but what do you want for a first try?!  so i was going to use this tutorial from the moda bake shop...but it seemed a tad advanced for me.  so then i stumbled upon this and thought "i think i can do this one!"  i actually had to muster up a little courage, i didn't want to screw up any fabric...i'm on a budget! lol  so i went for it, and i'm really happy with the results.

after i made the skirt, i thought i could make a shirt too!  so i whipped out the heat n bond and the turtle neck from her christmas outfit and went to town. 

i can't wait to try this on her!

i'm excited to try sewing new things now..tee hee...i love being excited about new projects!!

and here's something if you need a chuckle today...

david saw that i was throwing out a pair of hubby's super nasty socks--he insisted that i put them on him!  he's so funny!
