• My Sanity

   I thought I might share some of my sewing projects the newest one is a dress I am making for my neice.. my sewing is definetly my sanity.... Aaron realizes this so he doesn't mind if I buy the odd thing for it or if I ask him to buy some fabric at value village.... so lets see.... I bought a pattern at value village and didn't like it so much so I modified it and made this.... here is another view I love this dress I am very proud of it. It's not done yet and My life would be a lot easier if I had a serger but since they are at the least a couple hundred dollars its not in my budget.... I'll post updated photos when its done.... Next are some fabulous pics of my aunt being silly trying on a skirt/ dress combo I made for her for my cousins grad... as you can see solid black on the bottom and print up top... it has a tie...that my aunt happened to tie around her head that can be used as a belt or there are a couple loops in the waistband that allow the skirt to be tied up in a variety of ways as a dress.... I also made her a matching print top for this skirt if that wasn't suitable...but no photos... the last is a skirt I made out of a fabulous satin type fabric that I picked up in the cheap bin at Wal mart in a nice olive drab color.... this one was a pain... it's a ruffle skirt and I couldn't find a pattern to save my life in store or online so I had to wing it... it has rough finished edges and this particular pic was taken when it was 3/4 of the way done the skirt when finished actually fell to just above knee length... I have many more things but these are a few that I had pics handy for... So what ya think?
