Sewing Attempt...

I bought a pattern from etsy seller whimsycouture to make one of those criss cross pinafore dresses for my daughter. Before you check out my pictures just keep in mind my sewing machine and I have not been friends for years. I always wanted to like sewing...my family makes all kinds of beautiful quilts, clothes, you name it and they all look wonderful.
So the pattern I bought was perfect for me...lots of pictures with clear directions and it was mailed super quick! I bought fabric, wash and dried it. I even ironed it ( I used to try and get any without doing this step). I cut out my pieces still going well. And then I sewed and even ironed when it said so when it said to.

Here is the finished dress....





I was happy with it. It has no holes and looks like what is supposed. But there is one problem. It doesn't fit. So while I followed all the directions I did not measure my daughter :((which the directions did say to do but she was napping and I wanted to get started).
But I guess that just means I get to make another one.

Been Busy


I have been so busy making new items for the shop and for gifts. I think I know about 6 pregnant mamas right now.
I have been knitting a blanket, made my daughter a new tutu, and lots of hair accessories for the shop.
But my next venture is going to be sewing some baby shows. Should be interesting because my sewing machine and I do not get along.
Stay tuned for some pics!

New item in my shop


So I sort of fell in to this one. I bought some fabric covered buttons so I could make some Button Tab Hats . Of course I purchase them and when I get them I realize ok I can make these. So instead of making the hats ( spring is coming..I'm not really in the mood to knit hats) I made some ponytail holders. So I am now on a mission to find cute tiny print fabrics.
Check them out www.sarich215.etsy.com
I have some really cute fabrics on the way so hopefully I can get them made up asap.
