Sewing I've Done Recently

I love the Make it and Love it website. She is amazing and I love just about everything she makes. She must be a busy mom.

She is always re-purposing things. I love that because anytime I can save a few bucks I'm game.

This was inspired by her website.

A dress that was too short for Novalee.


So I turned the bottom into a skirt.
Novie's eyes are a little funny looking in this photo. But it's the only one I have. :)

I saved the top thinking I would make another dress that was longer but probably by the time I find the right fabric and time, it will fit Sadie.

Jared had a Read-A-Thon which meant everyone could wear pjs. Well all of his pjs were looking a little ratty so I made these.



He loves them. Dragons and fuzz, you can't lose.

I made this quilt for my sister in-laws bridal shower. I'm kind of proud of it. It wasn't just sewing blocks together which is what I'm familiar with.



Its called Susannah and it's from the Quilt Bus, where they have a ton of free block patterns.

This is another Make It and Love It, creation.

Novalee wore it to dance class today, so cute!

I got this stretchy top fabric (there is a name for it but I have no idea what) about a month ago at Joanns and I have totally wanted to make dresses for the girls with it since and I finally got around to it.


I think they could use an embellishment or two but I'm not the kind of person that has a good eye for that. But I think they are fine the way they are. Novalee loves hers! That's all that matters, right? :)

That's about it. I just wanted to share! :)

  1. I love the little pink dresses for the girls. I just posted about the felt flowers on my website that would look great on their dresses. They are super easy.
