New Projects - Sew What Skirts

Picked up some great material from Joann's Fabric. I'm planning to make a few skirts for my daughter and I: Check it out.

I want to make A-line skirts that look great with T-shirts and tank tops this summer. Something similar to this:

Precious Little One

Little Katie is here!

I'm Back

I'm finally getting the hang of being a mom of 4 now! Little miss Katie is finally letting her mommy sleep a few hours uninterrupted.

Not sure which sewing projects I'll work on next. But I do have my eye on a 25 stitch Brother XL-2600i. It costs less than $100 and sews circles around my 10 year old "antique."

Having The Baby Today

I'll be away for the next week or so. Will check in when I'm feeling better and we've gotten to know our newest addition.

Sewing Contest Day 2

Well, I finally made my first pair of boys boxers. These are for my four year old. he can't wait to wear them to bed tonight! They were so easy to make I'm itching to buy more fabric today. He can wear these all summer for pj's or play clothes:





Thanks to Blueyonder for the great tutorial!!

February Sewing Contest

So....I've decided to challenge myself with the sewing contest found on LHCF. I'm leaning toward boxer shorts for the boys (my hubby, skinny 11 year old and skinny 4 year old). The boys will get a kick out of having something just like Dad.

Here's the free tutorial I'll use: Threadbanger Boxer Tutorial (skip to the middle of the video for the boxer instructions).

Hmmm....wonder if I can find cheap red fabric at Walmart today??

I haven't Done Much....

This week. still getting things ready for the baby's arrival. Kinda burned out on diaper making. Maybe this weekend I'll give myself a break and work on something else. Spring wardrobe maybe???

I think I need to do something totally indulgent and cute....for myself!
