I have been having so much fun sewing! I can't believe how easy it is!! And, if I can do it, anyone can.... :)

Today, I decided to raid the girls drawers for clothes they never wear, and I came up with a t-shirt that Kaitlyn deemed too boring to wear, and a skirt I grabbed from a Walmart clearance rack awhile back, that never fit Eva properly (too wide and too short, story of my life).

I decided to combine the two, and this is what I got!



A cute, twirly dress for Kaitlyn. Actually, she named it "The Magic Dress", because according to her it "even flies!"



Next up, I'll be making a dress for Eva. From a tank top and a woman's skirt from the thrift store. Wheee!



I'm having so much fun!

I have been having so much fun on Pinterest lately. Looking at all the fun ideas people pin. I especially got to thinking after I saw some neat sewing/upcycling projects on there. The sewing tutorials looked pretty simple, and we have a STELLAR thrift store here. And I've been eyeing up nighties at the mall, for Eva to wear in the summer...but they're just so expensive.

So, this afternoon, I ventured out to our thrift store, found some $1 comfy, wornout tees. And, followed the directions here...

And sewed this comfy nightie for Eva!



I got a few more way cuter tees, but thought I'd start with this one, as I don't really know how to sew, and I'm pretty much in shock that it turned out at all...*commencing happy dance*
