Itty Bitty

I finished my Itty Bitty Baby Dress this morning...It is absolutely DARLING! I guess it helps that the fabric was extra cute. Took me no time at all and of course would have gone much quicker had I cut 2 pieces of the skirt in the beginning. Oh well, next time. I did, however, learn 2 new sewing things:
1. How to gather!! So exciting (should I have known that before??)
2. How to put on binding (Not 100% but pretty close)



So, what do you think??

Special Delivery...

It looks like we were visited by the sewing fairy this afternoon...my super special neighbor dropped off a VERY cute package for Sofia. A hairclip, paci clip and burpcloth all wrapped up in a little bundle. Thanks neighbor!!


And just when I was about to ask...looks like she will have a tutorial soon for the hairclip! Can't wait...

Oh My...

so so cute. First of all I need to give props to my neighbor Leslie for being such a good decorator, so that I can steal her ideas. :) Thx Mrs. Patapoff. But here is a super cute idea (that I would like to steal from someone else) posted on ohdeedoo that I absolutely love- Alphabet Card Display. I really need to check out my local Michaels for these cards...what a great idea, especially for a playroom or something. Heart it.

Blogs!!!

Wow, I just discovered an ENDLESS amount of amazing new (to me) blogs!! I can't wait to start following them. Thanks to Sew,Mama,Sew! for introducing me to all of these blogs by "hosting" May Giveaway Day. Here are some of my new favs...

Cutest Tutu EVER

Yes, i am posting these all at the same time. I am new to this blogging so I am trying to catch up. I actually made the tutu before the dress! It is seriously the cutest thing i have ever seen...hot pink, orange and purple. I plan on making a matching one for my 4 year old niece when we go to Florida next month. Pictures of that will come later!
cute, cute, cute!

Dress for Sofia

The other day I made my first ever dress! It came out much better than expected...i'm so excited to do more. Its basically a "pillowcase dress" without the pillowcase and with MUCH smaller dimensions. After all, Sofia IS only 11 weeks old. :) I took a little direction from two of my favorite bloggers FreshlyPicked and The Handmade Dress.
The dress...
and
Sofia in her dress!
