Easter Dresses

I was really surprised when I checked my Facebook and had a message from a lady I know wanting me to make her some Easter Sundresses and bloomers for her adorable three girls. I was so surprised because, well, she is a pretty awesome sewer and I am just learning! She has done some sewing for Persnickety clothing and I pretty much worship her! So sewing these have made me excited and nervous! But this is how they look so far! I am pretty happy with them! :)I will be delivering them this week to her! I really hope she likes them!

Quilting and Embroidery? Oh yeah!

I have put a lot of thought into this and research for an embroidery machine. I really want to start learning how to quilt and make cute little onesies with Monograms on them with matching little skirts and tutus. I think it would be a good way to earn a little extra cash on the side for my family! So this is the one I have decided I will go with! The Brother SE400. I have read really good reviews about it from a lot of different places and I am really excited to make some really cute stuff with it when I finally get it!

I can't put a lot of money in a high quality machine right now, those babies are pretty pricey! This one I have found for an extremely good price and this will still give me results I need and I can download my own images to use. I am hoping that I will be able to stitch around appliques. When I get it I will def have to write a review on it!

Tutus and bows and dresses, OH MY!












I want to be able to come here and look at how far my crafting comes along. I strive everyday to improve and be a better me and take on challenges. As a child I was athletic and loved sports and I was extremely good at sports. Crafting wasn't really a thing I enjoyed a whole lot growing up. Now I love to craft and decorate and make cute things and I have an interest in cooking as well! So here are a few things that I have made in the last year. I hope with each post I can see improvement in my skills!
