No Sew tutu



So my family gets a pettiskirt and a tutu mixed up, I decided to make a  no sew tutu for my little girl. It came out very I will have to say for my first time. She look extra cute in it and I made her a diaper cover with ruffles. When attach that picture later. As soon as I get a good one. Bonus added a picture of her in the white pettiskirt.

Finished Finished Finished


















Okay I did it this time in two days....Could've been finished in one day but I do have a little baby and she does require my attention. I must say she was a great little girl for these two days, being I was occupied with sewing, sewing, sewing! I must say it turned out better than the first to me. I didn't have to go back and fix anything. Tomorrow I will add pictures of my little princess in it. The felt button shirt with the lettuce hem turned out great! I love that I started sewing! Great hobby to have! It saves money and lets me recycle her old clothes into something great!

Pettiskirt Fever!


I started my baby's white pettiskirt today! I am so excited about sewing her a  pettiskirt now. I am so happy I started sewing in April! Dreamspunkids.com has been so helpful through the process. Plus I think she looks great in all that fluff!!!!! I will try to finish tonight I'm almost there! I also went by the fabric store and pick up some great felt buttons. I am going to lettuce hem the bottom of her t-shirts and add the buttons....pictures for that project will follow tomorrow when I get started.

Been a While!




It's been a while but I'm back! I lettuce hemmed a few of my baby old snap t-shirts and made a pettiskirt! I was so excited Dreamspunkids.com has easy instructions on how to make a pettiskirt! I decided to make the black one first, can't mess up black....lol Next I'm making a white with ruffles and a pink one with ribbons. I will attach a few of the pics. I kinda messed up the sleeves on the shirt but practice will make perfect but I must say I am satisfied with the outcome and I must say she looks great in it!

Rainy Day

I'm a little upset, had to exchange my sewing machine. The bobbin kept jamming and I couldn't finish a project at all. Nothing changed but after a long period of sewing the bobbin would just jam. Now I have to wait for them to send me a new sewing machine. I love HSN....they make exchanging so easy. I as soon as I get my new machine I will start my baby girl's pettiskirt! I am excited about that! Played the Mega Million....lol fingers crossed.... I love to DREAM!  Back to dreaming about sewing. I did have a great dream that I finished my daughter's pettiskirt and it was perfect on the first try.

So Long for Now but I will sew again!!!!

Chiffon Practice






I decided to do a trial run with the chiffon fabric to see how attaching ruffles and gathering would be. It turned out pretty good I think. Off to the fabric store tomorrow to get some satin fabric for the pettiskirt waistband. Tomorrow I will take a stab at sewing the actual pettiskirt. I am so excited! My 4.5 month old will have her first pettiskirt. Heres the pics of the trial run. But i did attach pieces on the wrong side of the fabric. Thats why I'm happy i did a trial run.

Inspiration

Gotta a new pic of my little inspiration! I really want to create Mom and Daughter outfits.....for the moms who just can't get enough of loving their daughter.  MOMMY LOVES YOU!!!!

Practice Is Gonna Make Perfect!




I really want to make a pettiskirt for me and my daughter. I'm practicing ruffles, attaching ruffles at the bottom and gathering. It's pretty easy but I see some areas that I will need to practice some but working on scrap material is really helping.

It's Done!!!!!!!

Okay everybody, I have sewn my first ever project! I am so excited. This is the first time I have ever sewn anything in my life! I feel it came out pretty descent. I can wear it out the house and around the house. I figure why not make my first project a house dress. Simple with elastic at the top. I went retro with the fabric...Like to keep it fun! I might also add, I did this project with no pattern just eyed everything, so for that I guess it is a good finished project! My little girl didn't like me not showing any attention. Next babysitter is needed...lol Without any further due.....<drum roll please>...... Tell me what you think!!!!!!

Excited!!!

Got my chiffon in from Dreamspunshop.com!!!!!
Today I will sew my first dress and as soon as I get a little my comfortable. I'm going to sew (drumroll please)......a pettiskirt for my daughter and me!!!! Pictures coming soon of my first creation

The problem I'm having is gathering two fabrics using my gathering foot.
I can't wait til I make an actual project. Practice makes perfect! Staying positive!
