So I really have never been much of a sewer except for the last six months when I got a sewing machine. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, my first real project was Lillie's baby bedding and that was super ambitious of me! After months of toiling after the bedding I realized that I really started to like sewing. Maybe this could actually be a hobby of mine! A few weeks ago both Joann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby had their patterns on sale for $0.99 and I couldn't pass that up! I bought a few patterns for Lillie that I thought I would try. I even found a really cute dress for me, but when we were in the check out line I got so scared of the idea of making myself something that I gave it to the cashier and told her I didn't want it. I'm a baby I know! I figured that a baby is easy cause it doesn't have to be some form fitting dress. Anyway, maybe someday I'll get brave. So I bought this pattern:
Last week we finally bought the fabric and I finished it today! It was actually pretty easy and a lot of fun! So this is what I made, Lillie's Easter dress:
I'm super excited cause I think it turned out really cute, and Lillie seems to like it! Anyway, YAY for sewing and I think that if there is anyone out there that is scared of sewing, just do what I did, TRY IT! Oh and here is a preview of my next project:
I'm having serious Lillie withdrawls right now!! The dress turned out so cute good job mama :) Love you guys!

That is so stinkin cute! THere's a mom in our ward here that makes a new skirt for her girl every sunday! And then she takes a part of the skirt (like a flower in your case) and appliques it onto her shirt. They are always so cute.
ReplyDeleteKrista I absolutely LOVE that dress!!!! Good job! Make me one for someday when i have a girl! I feel like making stuff for boys might be kind of weird... don't you think?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, so Rachelle was telling me about all the flowers she sewed for you. I want to make a cute wreath too! Freak. Just make 2 of everything you make, ok?
