Cherries Anyone?



Here is Aiyana in her cherry dress that I made for her. Halfway through the dress I decided to alter a purse (Valentine's Day project) and add a jacket. I also did a cute little head band, and a set of bows. All in all pretty cute.

Kaitlin's Fairy Tale Pajamas



Two sets of pajamas for Miss Kaitlin. They are the same fairy tale toile fabric but one is green and one is pink. Stephanie planned this project and got it all cut out some time ago (I can't even remember when) and I finally got it all sewed up!

Emma's Quilt


Here is the back of Emma's quilt. I know it is hard to see, but I tried! *smile*

Above is a picture of the front of the quilt. It looks a lot like the back, but I used some moon and stars fabric through out on the front.

Above: The plain white microfiber fleece that I used.

Bean Bags


Again, technically not a sewing project, but I bleed therefore it is an automatic SEW WHAT post. These eight bean bags were made for Toby's work. (They are doing a booth for the Fourth of July and needed some bean bags for the games.) These took about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish, and I actually used rice instead of beans. I used a white Egyptian cotton (is there any other kind??? Okay so I am a cotton snob, sue me.) and photo transfer paper to transfer the logo. Because of the stiffness that the transfer adds to the cotton, turning what should have been a very easy project turned into a pretty big nightmare. However, at the end of the day all eight were completed before deadline, so yeah for me. Thanks Toby Love for all your help, I would have gone crazy without you! *smile*

Emma's Accessories



I don't know if these really count as sewing. I mean the headband was mostly finesse on Melissa's part. I did sew the headband though with the sewing machine, so technically???? The diaper cover/spankies really don't match the dress at all because the fabric is flannel, but Leah did want something super absorbent just in case there is a poop explosion. Flannel is known for it's absorbency, so that is the very long story about a pair of spankies. Melissa is working on a coordinating bracelet to match. Yeah! (not the spankies, but the dress!)

For Emma Marie



Here is a blessing dress I made for my sister Leah's daughter, Emma Marie. I am very happy with the way it turned out and hope that you all like it too.
