Way Behind!

I just have to say Blogging is more work than I know how to handle! I am trying to get in a routine of getting this done but I am just way behind!

I have been working on ALOT of projects lately and I am LOVING it!

My first project since I have gotten done with the Drill Team was Halloween Costumes for the kids! First I made a Cute dress fro my Daughter. The cloth was Hello Kitty and I used a Thick orange ribbon to line the bottom! Out of the left over cloth I made her a little purse and used the ribbon as the handle. She loved it!


After that I thought I was going to get off easy with Halloween costumes and boy was I wrong. Dylan saw the pattern for and Alien costume...and all I have to say is they turned out pretty well considering I did not even think I would be able to make them! I do not have a great picture of them both together, so here is the best one I got. I can replace it once I get some better ones from my sister-in-law...but you get the idea. They did not have the head pieces on!


After that I had an old friend of mine ask me if I could recover some cushions on a little couch of hers...this is something I have never done before so I said Sure...why not? I tore the cushions apart to make the pattern and sure enough, we now have cushions. I learned a lot about order of sewing...in other words, which pieces to sew together first. They turned out good, maybe not as perfect as I would have liked them but I think I am just being too hard on myself. No one else can really see what I see! HeHe!


So now I am starting work on 2 outfits for 2 girls and we will see those later...they are Christmas presents and I do not want to spoil any surprise in case they look at my blog!

See ya next time!
