More Projects!

I've really been trying to work on my sewing skills (often WAY too late in the night-- quiet mom!). I finally made a dress all on my own! It took me a couple of hours, but I think it turned out pretty cute! In the past I have always cut out the material and patterns and had my mom sew the items for me, but I'm finally learning to sew. I'm not that great at it, but it seems like it gets better and better with practice. Imagine that. =)

So here's the little dress I made for Ella. I just did it tonight, so I have no idea if it'll even fit her (PLEASE!). I'll post a picture of her in it as long as she's able to! =) I love the halter collar! And, of course, I think everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for black and white and hot pink! =)

I posted this pic before, but this is an updated photo of an embellishment I added-- a cute yo-yo flower with button center!

More projects in the making... stay tuned! =)

I am "sew" impressed, Kari! (yuk yuk yuk!) Let's have a little sewing day together sometime!

I love the dress (as well as the other projects)! I can't sew either...my mom and sister are awesome at it, but I've never really tried. Much like you, I'm a sucker for black & white, too. Those are the colors of the girls' room! :) Best of luck with the fit!
