Dick and Jane Quilt

My good friend and neighbor had a little boy in July and with it being boy #4 she did not really need anything, so I made a quilt. I have not made a quilt in a long time, and I realized why as I was making it as well. I realized that with clothing making it is pretty instant gratification, I can make a dress in an hour or two. And these are a little more time consuming, but they are so precious at the same time so well worth it. I love this Dick and Jane fabric!

The Butterfly Dress

This cute dress I got from Sewing in no mans Land. I could copy everything she makes, she does a really good job and is very generous with her patterns. This dress is called the Butterfly dress, because of the cute butterfly like sleeves. Go check out the pattern here and she has a really cute headband that she made that is adorable.







I do love these buttons< but am still trying to figure out how to perfect it a little more.


This one I made into a tunic to wear with leggins. I put a in the back instead of on the front this time.








And just a little sneak peak into what my yesterday looked like!!

Jumper for Ellie

My Sister Kim has 7 kids 5 boys and 2 girls. Here youngest girl is 5 and is still at a fun age to make things for. So last fall we went to Elaine's Quilt Block and picked out this cute fabric, so Kim could make Ellie a dress. Well I can't even imagine how crazy, hectic, busy life is with a 14 year old down to a 2 year old. Needless to say she finally let me make the jumper and it turned out really cute. I think these colors are cute, because she could wear all year long. How cute would it be with come cowboy boats in the fall!

Chevron Tray

Chevron is so popular right now and I have to say that although I have none in my house right now, I do love it. So when I saw this I thought it would be the perfect little thing to add some chevron into our none chevron home. Go here to get the how to and I have to say that although Martha Stewart is really creative and does a good job with this kind of stuff, she is to much of a now it all and she really bugs me.

Playing Mother

Lucy is obessesed with her little baby doll, she does everything a Mom would do for her baby. So I decided that Lucy would think it was pretty cool if they had some matching clothes as well. And she loves it, best part is that lucy can put them on all by herself.

For these little dolls you use hardly any fabric, so it is a great project for all those scraps, that you dont now what to do with.
