Sew much fun!

Once upon a time, these (cough) lovely pants, came with a dance costume. They were enormous.

So I did some chopping off the bottom, did some trimming and turned into, (drum roll please):

A skirt! :~D

Isn't it cute? :~D

A Project

This past weekend was my birthday! I had a lovely time with friends and family.

I've had a project lurking in the back of my mind for the past few months and I decided to do it for my birthday!

Make a dress!

Now my skirt I cut out 2 Christmases ago still isn't finished, but I had an idea for a dress that would take about a half an hour to pin and sew.



You need a shirt and a skirt! (I got mine at the Salvation Army.)

Have a friend help pin it at the height you want, I was going for late 50's, early 60's, and sew!

I've worn this for 2 days now and it is so comfy to wear....

....I see more in my future....
