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.

I have done some sewing for Izzy and Ivy designs. This dress is from the Princess Bella pattern. I love this dress. It turned out so cute. The fabric was beautiful. I love the green and orchard colors together. This pattern was very fast and easy to make. The Izzy and Ivy patterns are really wonderful.

Dr. Suess's Birthday

March 2nd is Dr. Suess's birthday. At my darling grand kids school it is a big day. They sell Cat in the Hat hats and have a big party. Naturally Lucy need a new outfit for the occasion. I was so luck to find Dr. Suess fabric that just came out. She is really excited to have a outfit for the day. Sophie's still fits from last year. Poor baby is upset. She has to wear a outfit twice. I think I have created a little monster here. I think the fabric is really cute.

Fun & Funky

Now that Sophie is getting older she wants her clothes to be more fun and funky. I made her some decoupage jeans. I used some scraps of fabric and embroidered some peace sign in metallic thread on them. The shirt is embroiderd with peace signs, flowers and love. I added some bling to both the jeans and tee shirt. Shopie love decoupage jeans. They are so simple and can cover holes or even lengthen them.
