Sew Grateful

I have been working on the bridesmaid dress for a while and still am not completely done! Well, I am done sewing, but am looking for matching beads for the neckline and bracelets. I did not realize it would be quite a challenge! I am going ahead and sending the dress out tomorrow and will just have to put beads on the day before the wedding!


In these pictures the colors look different, but I assure you they are the same material!









I decided I wanted to make Scarlet a matching dress so we can get pictures taken together in them! So I looked for a dress that would have a similar neck line and found this one! So she decided it would also be her Easter dress. I personally liked it without the bow in front, but Scarlet wanted it in a big bow :)

I also made a cute little spring dress for Scarlet that I do not yet have a picture of! She is wearing it to school tomorrow so I will take a picture and post it next time!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

My favorite time of year! I love the colors and patterns of Spring!
The kids (including my niece) are all getting pictures taken professionally in a field of Bluebonnets (flowers) next month, so my sister-in-law and I thought it would be cute if the two girls had matching outfits. However, it is not like they are twins, so we thought if we could find the same print with different colors, that might be cuter!


I also made little hair bands out of the ribbon!


Another little spring outfit I have made was for my daughter!


I don't know what that pose is, but she was eating a piece of bacon while modeling! At first this dress looked funky on her because the waistband kept sagging. I thought at first I should make it a little tighter, but after thinking about it I realized it just needed to be tacked down! So I sewed around the middle white edges and it laid down the right way after that!

I said in my last post I had started making some of my own shirts. Well I did not go too Polka Dot crazy, but here is a picture of me in the first one I made. It is my favorite shirt and I wear the heck out of it! I used a stretch knit!
I love the sleeves on this shirt, it has drawstrings with bows and looks really cute in 2-tone!

I have a friend who just gave me A TON of material. I will be very busy trying to figure out cute things to make with it all!
