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.
