Hannah has been asking me to make her a new layered skirt ever since hers got too small.....and I got it done today. I loved this fabric that I made some skirts out of a week or so ago for a birthday order, and I had to go and get some for myself.....plus a bit more (doesn't that always happen?) And because today I wasn't in the mood to do math, I just did one width of fabric for the first layer, two widths for the second and four for the third. And it worked. A no-math skirt day. ...

$5 Friday–Ruffle Tights
We are gone tomorrow so I am posting a day early.... I made these "Ruffle Tights" using some tights I already had for Hannie, cutting off the toes and then pushing the open legs on to the arm of the sewing machine. While the tights are stretched around the arm they are smooth and it is a lot easier to sew the lace straight on. Then, when you pull them off the machine, they bunch back up and are magically ruffled. An experiment that worked very well. I then started sewing different pieces ... View the Post

$5 Friday—A Valentine Skirt
I have been wanting to make a t-shirt ruffle skirt for awhile and decided today was the day.

And here she is....a free valentine skirt. ... View the Post
A New Spring Jumper…for the amost springtime.
Ok...So I'm wishful thinking. I wish it was springtime right now. Seriously. Right this second.I know I live in Utah and have been raised here and should know that it will snow and be drab until, oh, say about May...but a girl can dream can't she?And in my alternate dream reality that tells me that spring will be here soon I made Grace a little Springtime jumper. She even tried it out today during a brief few minutes of sunshine. Sure it will be cuter in a few months with sandals and flipflops ... View the Post
