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!

  5. Those little ones are so funny and cute. Mine use to do that too. I am so proud of you. What a fantastic job you did. I want to see pics with her in the outfit.

    I am going to purchase me a sewing machine this year. I sewed all of mine and my daughters clothes for a few years and haven't sewed much since that.

  9. Oooh, little toddlers are the funniest! They drive us crazy, but really, they keep us sane.

    Good job on the skirt and shirt! That is an adorable outfit you made her. You must post pictures of her in it.
