The Popsicle Dress

I'm a litle new to this sewing thing. But who can resist my sweet 5 year old asking me to make her a dress from this adorable seersucker fabric with popsicles, icecream cones and cupcakes on it.  

So we buy the fabric and here is the result.

All you need is L O V E

So I'm really into my applique shirts. I've been making them as gifts for the girls friends. So for Sidney's birthday I found this cute cotton skirt on clerance at Target and thought I could add something to it to make it a little more unique. Found some cute fabric to make the L O V and E and put a little heart on the skirt. I saved it and gave it to her for her birthday. Perfect for our spring break trip to Florida.

Going SEW crazy

I'm doing it! And I'm reminding myself of my mother. A good thing. She's amazonly talented. So I finding myself going to the fabric store and roaming around until the fabrics jump out at me. I love this pear fabric and found cute petite brown & white polka-dot and pink & white polka-dot. I hope she wear this one a lot this spring and summer.

Seersucker

I am in love with this spring/summer line of seersucker. I found this Tutti-Fruity fabric my at JoAnn Fabric  store and made several skirts and dresses for my girls and nieces. This is a patchwork skirt that was so simple to make (just cutting out squares like you would for a quilt).

Me & The Huskystar

My good friend and super-stitcher has inspired me to sew. It's in my blood; my mom is master seamstress and can make anything with a sewing machine. And there isn't anything she hasn't done. Really. But that's a whole other blog in itself. So I'm sewing... and making these cute applique shirts. Matching headbands too. Thanks Reese!

I had a little extra fabric a chair-recovering-project. I love the little window valance I was able to create with some fun trim.

This is a little glimpse of my bedroom. I made the window valances to match the blanket on the bed. Bought the pillow sham & matching duvet cover at Target. Made the pillows on the bed, there are three of them. And covered the headboad myself. If I was on one of those HGTV decorating shows I would have a breakdown on how much it all costs. But I don't.
