Sewing

I've been doing a lot of sewing lately.  A lot.  I have made two skirts, fixed/re-made a bathing suit, finished an apron, and started on a dress in the last few days.  I've been playing around with some scraps too.   I'm sooooooo thankful for sewing machines!  I was thinking the other day that it would be so hard to sew a lot without a sewing machine. 

I did make a dress for the recital with help from Kaliste.

I candled flowers and put them all around the hem of the dress.  Yeah, it took a while.  It was really fun though!

The Recital

Here are some pictures of the recital we had last Friday.

Their was eight piano students, and one voice student.

 

















She has an amazing voice!

Best friends! 

Daniel passed out roses:)

We had a great recital, and I'm looking forward to our next one!

This is it!

This is the fabric I've been talking about.

Any ideas of what I could do with it?  I have three yards.  I'm still not sure what to do, but I've been looking at different patterns/pictures.

A new addition to my closet!

I made a skirt a few days ago out of scraps that I had everywhere. 

I love doing stuff like this, and it only took me about 2 hours.

I took a long strip of blue fabric about 5 in. long and zigzagged all around it, then I folded it over once and ran a basting stitch in the center of the strip. 

I am already planning my next one!

Camille's Dress

Yes, I made another dress.  Camille and I had a photo shoot the other day.

Olivia helped me sew this dress. 

This is a Sense and Sensibility pattern. 

She is going to wear this dress for a recital we are having in a few weeks.  Hopefully we'll have pictures for that too!
