Sewing picture Updates

I made this dress for a friend of mine.  It took me a week to do it.  She likes it but needs a few adjustmetns.  She tried it on for me and the zipper broke.  I have enough fabric to make a matching outfit for her daughter. 

I made this diaper pouch and wipes cover for a friend who's having a baby.  She loved it.  They were pretty simple to make.  I used this tutorial for both of them.

I made this outfit for the same friend.  She's having a girl and I love giving gifts that'll fit in a year.  I made the skirt from this tutorial and the flower from this tutorial.  I love this dress and think Michelle looked super cute in it.  I had a hard time giving it away.  I'm going to make one for Michelle's first birthday!

It's been a few days.  I worked all last week on a dress for a friend of mine and it wore me out!  I will post pictures of it soon.  Then we went to the beach for the day.  The night before we left I decided we needed a beach bag.  I was going to just go buy one but my husband looked at me like I was crazy.  So, At 11pm I made a beach bag.  It only took me an hour!  I will post pictures later. 

I have just been feeling worn out.  So, I've taken a break from everything but being with my kiddos.  I have a few projects I need to do, a sleeping bag for Alyssa (I may even make my first tutorial)!! and that bag and crayon roll.  Also, I have a baby shower Saturday for a friend and I'm trying to decide if I want to make something or just buy her something...hmmm...

Michelle has been crawling really well for the past few weeks.  She's so cute.  She now has started crawling really fast whenever she sees Johnathan coming to her.  She's tryign to get away!!  She can also play peek-a-boo.  Alyssa has grown up so much in the past few weeks.  I'm excited to see how school is for her!  She is already excited about school and asks about going every few days.  Johnathan is my hand ful right now.  He has this attitude that I just don't know how to correct. 

So there's my update!  Hope you have a great week!!

I love making Birthday gifts!!

It's been a few days since I last posted.  My hubby got a new toy on Monday, a PS3, and I've been playing games with him.  That was his reason for getting it, so we could spend more time together.  Hehehe, he is so thoughtful!!  I love my hubby so much.  He is the perfect fit for me.

I was also making an awesome birthday gift for the cutest little girl.  She had her 4 year old party on Saturday.  I had so much fun making her gifts.  At first I was going to just make this,  but I didn't think it would be enough, so I whipped up one of these.  I was so excited because I was able to make the crayon roll in one afternoon!!  I am still new at the sewing thing and I have to rip out seams all the time. 

Want to see what I made? 

They were a hit!!  I was even asked to make some more.  I am not in this right now to make any money.  Making them just gives me an excuse to buy really cute fabric!!

These next two weeks are going to be different for me.  I am making a dress for a friend of mine.  Crazy!!  I've never made a dress for someone wtih curves.  This is the dress  pattern I'm making.  And I'm going to make a matching dress for her 1 year old.  I'm just praying everything goes good.  I hope she doesn't have high expectations!

Project 1, 2, and 3 completed!

wow...what a long day!  We had two three year old birthday parties, back to back, a trip to wal-mart, and friends over for pizza.  I was so ready for the kiddos bedtime tonight.  So,  I made two gifts this week!  They were for two wonderful three year olds. 

The first gift, which was project 2, went to a little boy.  He is such a cutie and I would do anything for him or his mommy!  He loves to play dress up, so I made him a cape. I saw this tutorial a couple of weeks ago and really wanted to make one.  And here was my finished product...

This is my daughter testing it out...

This is the cape from the front.  It's really hard to find cute boy fabric from Joann Fabrics. but I am happy with how this turned out.  It really didn't take me long at all to make this!










The other gift is for a cute girl.  I was going to make some reversable head bands, but it was too hard to figure out the sizing, so I saw this tutorial and thought it would be easy!  And it was.  But while I was sewing this project my children were doing this....

Yes Playhouse Disney is a friend in my house.  I don't think I could survive without it!!  So here is my version of the crayon roll....

I did add in an extra headband because I had one made already.

I hope you all enjoyed my sewing projects.  I know I enjoyed making them and giving them away! 

Project One

I was going to make these as birthday gifts for all of the little girls that are having parties coming up.  So I made two, and they didn't turn out how I wanted.  I couldn't get the sizing right.  And not knowing how small/big the little girls head is, I couldn't make one that would fit right.  For your viewing pleasure I will add a picture of the first one I made.

Side B











It's not horrible, but I was thrilled with the outcome.  SO I have another project in my machine right now.  I should be finished tomorrow!!
