A new dress

Have been rather of a coward, not daring to try sewing the dress with shirring since the last time I failed. However, I am not willing to give up on sewing another dress for my girl.

So instead of shirring, I put in elastic bands... a little more work then shirring but at least the chances of error is very slim. (Ok... I am a coward...I admit it.)

A new shirt.

Here's a new shirt I made for my daughter. It's a McCall pattern, number M5353. The pattern is for a dress but I shortened it to make it a longer shirt. The fabric is from Anna Griffin.

Ordered a half pound scrap from reprodepot during my last spree. It's great for making little projects like this! White pieces are from leftover egyptian cotton bedsheet i first cut up for the handstitched quilt.

A Cosmetic Pouch for Moi

I did this pouch a few days ago. I did the zipper with the help from this tutorial. I also used the sewing technique from the same tutorial to do the insides.

Again, fabric is a RAK from Charlene. Yes, yes, it's time I get my own fabrics. LOL!!!!!

Oh. Did I mention that I hand-stitched this pouch too? Kekekekeeee!!

Thanks for Looking.

C's Dress

A Sunny Day Dress I made for C some time back, using this tutorial.


It's easy, and if I can do it, any one else can. Trust me. :) TFL!

Denim & Leather

oopsie...sorry for not being able to join in the projects but i enjoy looking at everyone else's creations! your bags and dresses and everything are all so gorgeous!

a simple bag i did this afternoon. i've always loved the combination of denim and leather :) leather was handstitched and only used the tools in photo. denim cloth was machine stitched. this would be just nice for me to carry my books and magazines.

Thanks for letting me share :)
