Back to School

I finally got Sophie's outfit done with time to spare. I think the skirt turned out really cute. I used the print tulle for the ruffles. There are red knit shorts under the skirt. I also made a matching headband. I just blinged up a tee shirt to wear with it. It does look a lot cuter on. I am so glad I have the back to school dresses done for tomorrow. I went looking in the tweens favorite store for ideas. I have now bought fabric for more outfits. I finally am getting back in the sewing mode.

Going Buggie

School starts on Monday for the grand kids, so I have been sewing like mad. I thought this bug fabric was cute and fun. Not the usual girly dress. It is so bright and cheerful. I really like the bug crawling up the hem. I was so lucky to find rick-rack to match the colors in the stripes.The bow in the back adds just the right touch. I just hope Lucy likes it. Now off to finish up Sophie's outfit.

A Sassy Purse

I just finished the Petunia purse by Izzy & Ivy. It is a little larger than I thought it would be but I really like it. It started out with the polka dot fabric. The ASG chapter I belong to gave us each a yard of fabric. We could make anythin we wished. We could add other fsbrics but could not use more of the polka dot. I think it turned out really cute.

Cinderella's Ball

The girls went to a tea party and a play about Cinderella and her Prince last night. So naturally they needed dresses and of course Hats. After watching THE WEDDING last week only Fasinators would do. This was kind of a fast job to get done. I did the dresses and my daughter Tracy did the hats. They turned out really well. I can see us making more of them. The girls loved them and had a really great time. I think wearing hats is lots of fun. Sophie especially loves wearing them. She also has 2 Fedoras.I am glad the girls had a wonderful time.

Tink

I am making just some simple summer dresses. I thought Tinkerbell would look good on the dress. I think orchid and green look nice together. These dresses can be made and embroidered in less than a hour.

Spring is here

I made this spring dress for a friends daughter. I think it looks so sweet and springy. I love all the cute little animals around the skirt, It is so cute and I think it will go all summer long. Of course a tee shirt can always be worn under it. Although you cannot see the big bow on the back I think it really helps set it off. I love little sun dresses on a hot summer day. Of course they are cute anytime.

Lady Bug, Lady Bug fly away home.

I love lady bugs on clothes. They are so springy. I found some blue ticking in my stash of fabric. I just knew right away to put on it. Pillow slip dresses are so fast and easy. I love to applique on them. I think a little hand stitching always helps to perk them up. I found the red with black polka dots ribbon that I thought would be perfect with the dress. I also made 2 bows to match. I really like the red Capri's with the dress. With pants the girls can play in them and not have to worry about things showing. I know Lucy will be so cute in the outfit this spring.
