Been on a bit of a sewing kick lately. Here are some of my projects. I took a hand-me-down shirred tank-top and sewed on a four- tiered skirt to it.
Who knew you could sew a hat out of an old T-shirt? Perfect for pulling on for early morning garage sales! Find out how here.
I bought this dress dirt-cheap at Old Navy, but it was too short. I took inspiration from this http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2010/03/petticoat-tutorial.html, only I sewed a length onto the dress and then added the ruffles. Not sure if I am in love with this or not. Me and my mom are working on a eyelet slip skirt to wear under a couple of other clearance dresses that were too short. If I like it maybe I will unpick it and wear that instead.
The 20-Minute Skirt. Ok, it took me about an hour, but that was more for operator error than anything else.

Very cute! I don't sew very often, but I've been thinking of making some summer dresses for my girls. I really want to take a quilting class. I wish they would hold them during the day! My mom always says just do it, its not that hard, but I like the push of someone else teaching me...it keeps me on task much better!
