I've been knitting a lot for my daughter and I didn't want my son to feel left out. So I sewed him some Sesame Street pajama pants. The material is 100 percent cotton, but it feels soft like flannel. They fit him perfectly, but he'll probably outgrow them quickly!

Lazy Days Skirt

This is the Lazy Days Skirt I sewed for my daughter. I got the free pattern at http://oliverands.com/

Miss Madeline Dress For Miss Caitlyn

This is the second dress I've sewn for my daughter. I had help from my sewing teacher. I'm pretty sure I could have figured it out on my own because the pattern is written clearly, but, still, it was nice getting help (and being able to use her serger!)
This pattern is called Miss Madeline and I got it from here. http://thehandmadedress.net/SewingPatterns.htm

Sewing Room Cleaned

After taking a picture of the mess it was before, I just had to clean it up right away! At least it's all organized now. I want to sew a wall hanging to hang over the coffee table turned cutting table.

First Attempt at Ruffles

I was trying to sew a skirt with a ruffle for my daughter. The pattern I'm using says to pull the thread from one side of the seam, but it's not working out so well. The thread breaks after pulling it so much. I'm going to try another method of ruffling that I saw on You Tube. Hopefully, I will be more successful with that!

Sewing Room In Need of Renovation!

My daughter has taken over the room, that is meant to be for my sewing, with her crafts. As you can see, it is a disaster! Time for some renovation! Check back for some updated pics.

Grumpy Morning Faces

First Sewn Dress!

This is a dress I sewed for my daughter called Smocked Sundress from the book called, "Weekend Sewing" by Heather Ross. It's a pretty book, but full of errors! I'm, overall, happy with the way this dress turned out, and so is my daughter! Doesn't she look adorable?

Interested in Sewing

I've recently been thinking that I want to learn how to sew. I went to the Santa Maria Sewing Superstore and they have tons of new sewing machines, but they are expensive and I have to wait to take a class to learn how to sew. So I've been looking on craigslist for a used sewing machine and going to teach myself how to sew. I'm too impatient to sit around and wait for a class and save up money for a machine.

Poor, Neglected Blog

Oh, my gosh! I haven't even vistited my own blog since the very first one, which was last July! How sad! So I'm posting one now. I'm busy working on an expedited transcript today and taking breaks every ten pages to do a couple of rows on the Karma tank top by Wendy Bernard, who is my favorite designer! This is my second item designed by her and I have lots more to go! Now I'm off to knit another couple of rows and then to my daughter's kindergarten open house.

Kitchen Rug

Finally finished my kitchen rug today. I think it turned out cute. The colors add vibrance to my kitchen. It turned out just the right size, too. And it's so soft to walk on!
