Here in Denver there is a fabulous fabric store called Denver Fabrics, they have everything and great prices. This skirt to the left was made out of scrap fabric that you can buy by weight. I paid less than a dollar for the fabric, and it made an adorable skirt.
This dress I made for a friend in Florida. The dress has pockets where the material meets. The spaghetti straps criss cross on top and is very cute. I am hoping to get pictures soon of the dress on the girl I made it for!!
This dress can be made longer or shorter, with solid straps, sleeves and as seen!! I chose the contrasting prints but would look real pretty with one material choice.
I made this dress before we moved, I found the material to match her vans and could not help make her a cute dress to match them.
I like having the ties versus straps because it allows you to adjust the size you need them to be. As they get bigger you can easily put leggings under this dress to get a few more wears out of it!
I also put long sleeved shirts under it to make it a winter dress. Of course she grew out of her shoes, but still loves the dress.
We went to a Sock Hop a few weeks ago and I made some poodle skirts for some of the girls. We debated making the petticoats but were afraid the girls would not wear them due to being itchy and just too much! So we opted for good stiff felt and I ended up sewing some Thule on the bottom to give the illusion of a petticoat.
I made two of these shirts. They really turned out cuter than I thought. In the group picture, the two girls in the middle have the shirts I made on.
I have also been working on a tote bag for a friend, it turned out cute.
I used the material I had left over from some of the other totes I had made, and although the tote was different, I used the same material Combination.
I added a flower petal at the top of the strap for just a little flare. The tote has an inside pocket and is very comfortable carried on the shoulder or across (over the shoulder) style! Very flexible and plenty of room. It can be made to be reversible, although because of the flower petal, this one is not.
I am working on Pajama Sets right now for boys and girls, a wool/leather vest for my mother, and work shirt for my husband. These will all be in my next post.
Thanks for visiting my post and have a great day!!

I like the boys shirt pattern and think I am going to make Dylan some T-shirts. I love the 2-tone shirts like this.
