Non yarn crafty goodness

I've been working on little bits of stuff. A new dress for Em. My sewing skills aren't all that but I'm getting better. I only had to call my mother once on this one...



It even almost fits. Em's excitement at having to try it on just once more is evident in the pic and she couldn't stand still long enough for me to pin the hem up so that still needs to be done.


And I put in a zipper! YAY ME!! The zipper works and looks good so I'm ecstatic. The top floppy part is awating a few buttons but that something that I'll have to learn after I get the proper piece for my machine.


Plus I made up some more fleece hats and scarves... So super easy. Love them. I made up 5 hats, 2 scarves and 2 neckwarmers in a morning.


They were a huge hit and now I'm getting requests from the kids at school for more. :D

The dress is adorale. I used to buy hats like those off of eBay and Etsy for Elena and she loved all the cool patterns she had to chose from. I kept telling myself I would make some, but still haven't figured out where to set up the sewing machine.

Open an Etsy shop :)
