Pre-ruffled fabric goodness!

I made this baby dress for my sister's co-worker. This was my first time sewing with pre-ruffled fabric. I LOVE IT! It was easy to sew with and I love not having to make the ruffles. I made a peasant dress. I made the top, then added the pre-ruffled fabric for the skirt portion.

Dress for new baby!

I made this dress today for my friend's new baby. She has two boys and is having her first girl. So exciting!! I loved how it turned out. I followed this tutorial to make it from Craftiness is not optional. I got the idea for the tie from this post.

Baby Dress

I made this baby dress for my friend who just had a baby girl. I love, love the fabric and how it turned out. I followed this tutorial on Craftiness is not optional for the collar and sleeves of the dress. Her tutorial is for a top, but I made it longer and made a cute dress.

Sleeping bag and pillow for stuffed animal

My niece practiced more of her sewing skills and helped my mom make sleeping bags and pillows for their stuffed animals. She did an awesome job sewing them.

Pocket Pillowcases

My niece and my two daughters wanted to have pillowcases with pockets on them to hold their stuffed animals. My other niece practiced more of her sewing skills and helped me and my mom to make them. The girls love their new pillowcases and they turned out really cute!

 

Skirt for my niece

I taught my niece how to make a simple elastic waistband skirt while she was visiting me. She picked the fabric out at the store and designed how she wanted her skirt to look. It looks great and she did a great job making it.

Have you checked out this challenge yet? I am trying it out and hoping that it motivates me to sew more! This is the first project that I finished for day one...a skirt for my daughter. I made it out of old jeans and some scrap fabric. I love, love how it turned out and I would like one myself!
