Tunic!

Just finished another tunic.

I cut it out of another skirt I have and ended up with

 enough to make another one!  

Easiest tunic ever, if you already have the skirt ;)

Another Dress!

Yes, I made another dress :)  It's for a wedding in a few weeks.

It's really long in this picture, but I'm in the process of shortening it about 12 inches.

These past few weeks we've been really busy!  I was able to sew this dress about a week ago, and Camille finally transferred the pictures onto the computer! 

 I still have not hemmed it, which I'm not looking forward to doing.

 

 Yeah, the bottom is ugly. I still have to work on that.

My latest project

Today I had a little polka dot fabric left so I made this!

It's still not finished.  I plan to add black ribbon all 

along the hem and the sleeves have not been hemmed yet.

Hopefully pictures later when it's finished.

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!

Another Dress!

A friend and I made two dresses.  Unfortunately, we only have pictures of one of them. 

The sash was a little tricky. We had to decide if we wanted to have it as a shawl or a sash.

The sleeves were my favorite part!

We really enjoyed sewing this dress.  We made this dress for one of my friends birthday party.  The other dress was the same style, only the colors were purple, pink, black with pink flowers, and white.

I started out with making a skirt...

...and ended up with this!

My latest project is this dress.  Some people have said it doesn't look like a dress, just a skirt and shirt, but I cut off one of my old shirts, and used some fabric from a sheet that went on a bed. Not my favorite kind of fabric, but it works.  Camille and I had a photo shoot today, and I wanted to post this.    Thank you for editing Camille!  It is not finished yet, because it's a little too short for me.

Pictures!

Here is a picture of one of my favorite dresses that I made for one of my friends. It didn't turn out like it was supposed to, but I like it.

My dramatic sister! She's a great poser.
Okay, so the picture needs a little cropping. There is a seam in the waist, and it wasn't supposed to be there, but with the right kind of belt, it looks fine. I didn't use a pattern because I didn't have one, and I didn't feel like following one!

It's been muddy here at our farm. REALLY muddy. And it is still raining!

Can you tell it's been muddy? Some of that mess was when my brother helped a neighbor paint tar on walls. And yes, that is edited. I had fun with that!

Projects I've been working on

I've been sewing lately and hopefully I'll get pictures of my fabric soon.  I got some adorable pink fabric with velvet black polka dots on it!  It was at a good price at Hobby Lobby.  I'm not sure what to make with it yet.  I'm thinking of a Pride and Prejudice-type dress with small puff sleeves.  I made a dress the other day out of a scrap piece of fabric.

I'm currently making two dresses.  I received the pattern a few days ago and have the fabric, I just have to find the time to sew them!  It is a Sense and Sensibility pattern.  It's been busy around here lately so it's hard to find time to sew.
