Dragonfly skirt

Circular skirt made of light weigh chambray

with dragonfly embroidery.

 

French Blue Linen Tunic

I made this tunic for myself.

I rarely sew things for myself.

But I am on this linen thing now and I really need some new clothes.

 

 

This one has pintucks.

I don't think the next will!

Finally - a new post!!

So I haven't posted anything for a long while,

but I have an excuse.

I have a real job and not much sewing time.

Hence, I made a lunch bag for myself.

Lining of my lunch bag

 

And another lunch bag for Jessica.

She keeps losing them!!

That is very annoying.

 

So I am kind of on a linen kick here.

I made myself this very basic linen tunic.

I will wear it to work tomorrow.

I know it wrinkles lots!!

Oh well.

Wisteria Linen Tunic

 And this is my linen shopping bag.

I didn't line it so it will fold up easily to put in my purse.

Christmas morning

What I sewed for Christmas.

Leopard pj pants.

They loved them.

Halloween

I am trying to get a picture of the kids before they

go out treating..

As you can see, there is a whole lot of goofiness going on.

All the girls loved the 1950's poodle skirts.



 

Trying to be cool!!

 

 For supper we had lasagna(with bugs), french bread

and pickles.

Halloween

It's Halloween.

Jessica got up early because she got to wear

her costume to school today.

She was very excited about that.

She was feeling very pretty today.

I hope to get more pictures of all the kids tonight.

 

She loved her shoes.

Crinolines

So this week I needed to finish the crinolines for the poodle skirts

Here I am gathering tulle.

I am using my gathering foot.

This is one of my favorite ways to gather,

especially if you have many miles of fabric to gather.

 

 

 

The finished product.

Now I did not get to fancy with these.

They may only wear them once.

I made four of these.

 

Perhaps next year I will tell them they can go to the store

and buy a costume.

Seems to me that would be much easier.

I will get some pictures when they are all dressed up

so we can see the total look.
