Sew fun!

More sewing fun! I just finished two more projects. Both are wraps, which I love because I can adjust to my perfect size. I took the pattern from an old shirt. My sister was so great to take these pics for me. I know it is pathedic, but I named them. The first one is named after my sister Sarah. And the next is Diane. Well I'm not sure what to sew next, but I'm definetly having my sister be the photographer. She was just invited to be in an international picture exchange. She will be taking pictures of our community and exchanging to people in Africa, China, and more. She is so amazing. Love ya Sarah! I hope everyone enjoys the pics and is inspired to DIY sew!

MY Shirt

Okay so I finally finished my shirt from the Burda Website. Once I got started it only took me a few hours. I really like the black ruffled shirts so I gave it a go. I had a hard time making sure everything matched up, but it all worked out. If anyone is interested in making one I can give you some pointers. I'm going to make a shirtdress soon with this same pattern, but maybe without the ruffles. I already have the polka dot fabric, I just have to make it. Well here it is:

My Dress!!

Lately I have had a lot of time on my hands to learn new things. I have been sewing and I have made a few pairs of pants and shirt and some blankets. This has bloomed into something great. I plan to take a child's construction class this semester and I think it will be a blast. I ventured to make a dress. I was inspired by all the cute spring dresses and I thought "Why not?" Well here it is. It's not perfect, but maybe I'll get perfection after much practice!!
