I have been doing many chores that have taken me away from the computer these last few days, so posts have been short. I'm sure it is nice to get a break from some of my more long-winded ramblings...
Here is what I did over the weekend:
This was a shirt-dress that got too small for Amilia. The bottom was still usable, and not too tight, so I cut away the tank part of the top and hemmed a waistline. I could have ironed it before photographing, but hey, what fun would that have been?
I have been playing with "drawing with thread" on my sewing machine, and perfecting some applique techniques. So, I made this little owl patch and affixed to the bottom of the skirt.
I am so happy with the result! Amilia never liked the fit of the tank dress before because it was always a little tight in the middle. Now it is the most super cute play skirt ever! She even went to bed with it on the other night. For a few minutes, until she decided it was not comfortable sleeping attire.
