Sewing

This is a dress i made.

I made one for Vickie also.
This dress i made from a pattern from Sis Boom called the Jamie Dress.
This is a summer top.
This is my first try at making a clutch purse, not so hot but i like it.
This  is another dress from the pattern from See & Sew  # B5734.
 This one is from the same pattern, just a different bodice.
 And this one is the same as the orange ones i made for Vickie and me, it's from New Look # 0113.
Hope to be making soon.  I an planning to make some baby blankets for some up coming babies in September and December.

Refashioned Dresses



I have also been on a sewing kick. First off  I have refashioned this yellow Mexican style mumu dress, which was way to big for me.  And the white one which was nice but i wanted something a bit cooler, Houston is way to hot to wear anything to heavy in the summer time, my Vickie liked it.  As you can see i cut off the sleeves and the top half so i plan on using these pieces for a clutch purse.  
This is what I have been doing lately, the yellow ones I made for my niece Ashley while i was visiting in AZ. The others I've made since getting back home. I got this idea from  www.tipjunkie.com .   The purple and red pair are from a tutorial at  www.petalstopicots.com  please go check them out for more ideas.
