Dress for a Little One

Every time patterns go on sale for $.99-1.99, you should buy at least one! So this was the last one I bought from Joann's. But you can get it here as well.
I made the one featured in the picture, but added a ruffle around the neckline, a fabric lining around the body of the dress and a few flowers, including a removable clip on the top.
The "funniest" part about this dress is that it's actually BACKWARDS!!! I was completely done and feeling so accomplished, but decided to add a few flowers (with fabric glue because I had already put the sewing machine away). Then I realized I glued them to the back of the dress... what the "h"?! Oh well, they ARE NOT coming off, so I'm just going to make a couple of more to put on the front of the dress, then their will be flowers all over!

More Pillows & a Little Extra

Back to Bexley's pre-earth BFF. We put together a whole new futon for little Alysa's room to match her bedding. For the futon cover I just made a fitted sheet...easiest project on earth:
1 - cut out one rectangle of desired fabric (with a few inches extra all around).
2 - Double fold and iron edges all the way around.
3 - Sew hem (leaving an opening).
4 - Pull elastic all the way through. Sew end pieces of elastic together. Sew opening closed.
DONE!

And just a few more pillows using this tutorial.

Just one more week til we get to meet her!

Pillow Obsessed!

I almost wet my pants when I saw this flower fabric at Joann's, of all places. I get so bored in the winter and need some brightness in every room of the house. I started these pillows in dreary February. Too bad I didn't get around to finishing them til April while we've been having record 80 degree temperatures...not that I'm complaining!


I feel like this room is so much brighter now and I can decorate with practically any color cuz it will match the pillows!

This was all part of a crazy sewing day, a total of 8 pillows in one day...four more to come!

Kelsey's Beanie

Another beanie for Kelsey's January birthday/Christmas that I just got around to fixing. Loving this new layerd flower pattern.

Buckeye Cover Part II

Made another one for Bexley's pre-earth BFF, and her mom, Heather, who I LOVE with all my little girl heart. So happy we got to endure the years of pain and now the unending happiness together! They just happen to have the same carseat, so this one went the smoothest of them all. I even found a new flower tutorial for the straps, using ribbon...so fun!

Could be for a Boy?!

Another auction item...I know it's flowers, but it is boy colors, so it could probably go either way?

Auction Purse

Our ward held another auction this year at the chili/chocolate cook-off. They didn't think they were going to have enough items and asked us to contribute a little more. Luckily this purse was almost completely done, so I finished and donated it!
