Skirt.

I purchased this fabric, Oh, probably about two years ago. I intended to do something with it, but didn't. So this year, for Saint Patrick's day (I figured there was a little bit of green on the fabric), I decided to sew some simple little skirts for the girls. The girls were excited; getting involved in the measuring and design of the skirts was a new/fun thing for them! Hazel asked for a pocket, Jade wanted it plain. The had fun twirling in the backyard and being girls...in their new skirts!

My skirt.

I made a skirt.  Awhile ago. But I was too shy to wear it. I don't know why. I feel self conscious when I wear things I make. I fear they will fall apart and I will be left naked blushing. Well, I decided to wear this skirt on Thanksgiving this year with my boots and decided to just go with it, and to be ME (all simple and homemade...who cares)!! I really loved this fabric when I saw it because it reminded me of a Van Gogh painting. It is a simple skirt with an elastic waist! 

Love,

Leggings

I have been wanting to try to sew leggings for the girls, and finally did! I found this tutorial and gave it a shot. They are unbelievably easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If my sewing machine wasn't acting up it wouldn't have taken more than twenty minutes or so!  Hazel has demanded more, so I should be very busy in the near future :)

Happy to be sewing again, let's just hope and pray my sewing machine begins to behave herself!!

little dresses

I made this dress last year for Hazel. Only, I never finished it. I procrastinated sewing the straps, and sooner or later so much time had past that it was 20 degrees and deep into winter when I even gave it another thought. So Jade has inherited this little dress!! She looks super cute in it.  I can't wait to make tons more ;)

Love,
