Valentine's Goodies

So I finally learn how to make a skirt that uses a functional button on the back ( no pic of the button because the stitches are horrible and not very straight). The first skirt was suppose to be a dress but let just say, after I spent 1 1/2 trying to figure out the pattern and kept getting more confusing then when I started, I decided to just do the skirt. I really like how it turned out and plus my little princess really like it... I do believe that some day, I will be able to make fancier stuffs with no problem... I think that I am getting much better, and will keep learning and practicing some more








 And of course, some hair accessories





What do you guys think???

A Sunday Outfit

I believe that I am totally kicking my sewing machine butt by now, ha ha ha!!!...  No bragging or anything...OK...Maybe a little bit.,but I think I am getting much better and with more practice I will be able to make my daughter fancier stuff. I am still unable to follow a pattern so most of what I make are my own made up pattern as I go along. Therefor, this is a total learning process and my hardest time is figure out the right measurement because one forgot to get it before baby girl went to bed.

All her church dresses are 18 months which means that they are way too short now, so I figure instead of buying more ( cost me $24-30 a dress) I will make her one ... Between me and her grandma, she will have ton of church dresses and the good side is NO ONE ELSE has one too and I get to practice my sewing.
So here is what I made her last night, did not take very long. I started at 7 and was done before 11 PM. I decided to make the top a little simple because the skirt has a lot of shiny stuff on it .








Come back later to see what I am making next.

I am sharing HERE.

Valentine's Outfit

Yesterday, I decided to try making a pair of pants for my daughter... I think it turned out ok. I even got a pattern, that I used just to cut the fabric because well pattern are writing in language that clearly I don't understand, ha ha ha! So, I pretty much did it as I go along.











What do you think? Should I make her more?

Totally Awesome Tutu

I made my daughter this fabric tutu and LOOOVE IT and she does too. I mad it pink and brown with matching hair bows ( of course). I think that is the kind of tutu I am going to make her for now on... I like that she can wear it often and it won't get all ragitty ( not sure how to spell this) like the ones with the tulles.
