Sewing Machine Broke...

So, yeah, after I sewed those three dresses for the neighbor, I started to make some hoodies for my own daughter, and my machine broke. :( I was so devastated!!!! So, I had to take it in to get fixed, or, if it's too much money, then I will get a new one. It might be nice to get a new machine. Mine was $70 when bought, and was a great new machine for a beginner like me. That was three year ago, and I have DEFINITELY grown as a seamstress!!!

If I get a new one, I will show pictures of it. I was shopping around a bit today to see what there was available. We'll have to just wait and see. :)

More Dresses!

Made some more dresses! These are for the neighbor's little girl! I can't wait to see her in them!

Polyester Playdress

On our local metro re-use-it group I posted that I wanted some fabric that was up. It was said that it was knit fabric, well, when I picked it up, it was polyester fabric from the 1970s! This stuff is old, but it makes such cute dresses for my daughter to play in. :) The pink rick rack just makes it perfect as well. I am planning on making some of these up for this summer. It was so easy, plus she likes it, and it's not too heavy of fabric. At least I will make use for what I have, and not spend any money on the material.


This tag makes this dress perfect. It says "mama made" and has a mushroom on it. :)

Sewing Clothes Kids Love

I just received my book in the mail today! Did some reading, and now I am ready to tackle at the Feliz Dress!!! I plan on making it for Fourth of July partying! This book was written very well, and, needless to say, I am a bit scared! I do consider myself an intermediate sewer, however, this pattern looks definitely more complicated than what I have ever sewn. I am excited to begin on something new and fun. There are 50 days left of school, so I think I should make a plan to get this dress done in time for school to get out. This way my daughter can wear this all summer long!!! I will keep updated on the progress I am making with this dress. :) Wish me luck!

Another Dress and Undies!

This picture is of the hat I crocheted for her! She loves it so much she wears it around the house even! She sometimes won't take it off!!! It's too cute!


This dress is another Spin Around Dress. I made it out of my late grandmother's fabric. She loved Elvis so much, and I knew I wanted to make a dress out of that fabric. :) It still needs snaps and a sash, and then it will be ready to go.


WE ARE POTTY TRAINED!!! WOOHOO!!! All of a sudden one day we decided we were going to go potty, and I wasn't going to stop her. She has been trained for two weeks now. A cousin gave me these cuts and I sewed them up. They are all just the layers of fabric for undies, except the sail boats. That has one soaker in it. She loves her new undies, especially the "chickens" and the hearts.

Ooga Booga Love!

I made another Spin Around Dress, but altered it a bit. I made the dress shorter, for a shirt, then added sleeves, and pants to complete an outfit. I think Danica loved it, because her "modeling" pictures are adorable. I had so much fun making this, and it's my first outfit for my daughter.

It Spin Around? Dress!!

I decided to make my daughter a new dress (or two) because we are getting into the potty learning stage, and diapers are in our past! I found this pattern for free and decided to try and whip it up. I am amazed at how well it turned out! I love this pattern, and now I am altering the pattern a bit to make it shorter for a shirt, and then I am going to sew some pants to make with it. Then she will have an outfit. :)

I love sewing her some clothes! It's nice to cut the fabric, sew it up, and see a finished product!!! I can't wait to sew her some more clothes!
