Fun Sewing!

This weekend I had so much fun sewing for my daughter. I made three different dresses for her:

First up, I took a new turtleneck, cut off the bottom inch, and added two tiers of ruffles. I also made a matching hairclip. She was stylin' it on Sunday!

Second, I took a pair of overalls, cut off the legs above the crotch, and used the material from the legs to make a ruffle. So cute!

Third, I took a polo shirt, laid a sundress on top of it, cut it out, and made a simple dress that will be great for potty training that will be commencing in earnest soon. The hardest part was putting sleeves on it, but I faked it!

Sorry, no pics - guess I was too busy sewing to stop and take some!

Also, just to be silly, I straightened Alexia's hair while drying it on Saturday night. It was a good 5 inches longer than it usually is! Of course, by Sunday morning, it was all curled back up again!

Nice! You should bring her into the salon I work at and I will add a few more inches with my tools! That would be fun to see how long it will stay straight! Good job though! : )
