Ryleigh's Dress

So here is the final product! I'm happy it turned out well. You can't look too closely, or you'll see uneven seams and thread showing through. But all in all, it looks like a dress, so I'm happy :)

To Sew or Not to Sew

I have come to realize that sewing is a lot harder than I thought and my reading comprension is a lot worse than I thought. I recieved a new sewing machine for my early birthday, and proceeded to JoAnns for their $1.99 sale on patterns....I got 5. I started on a dress for Ryleigh...it's an "easy" pattern. WELL, not so easy for me. I just don't "get" it. Like I cant' see how the pieces fit together. I lost count how many times I had to rip seams to start a section over. I'm not giving up just yet, but I have to admit that my stamps are calling me!!! I can get my crafty fix with out stressing myself out!

A new hobby

My mom bought me a sewing machine for my birthday, which is in April by the way. But that's my mom :) She loves to give gifts and can't hold on to them very long, hehe! Anyway, so I went to Sears to pick it up, and then to JoAnn's for fabric and patterns :) I got one to make a dress and top/bloomer for Ryleigh, then 2 patterns for shirts, one for capris/shorts, and one for dresses All for me! Haha! I went a little crazy, but the Simplicity patterns were on sale for $1.99, which I found out was an amaizing deal!! Several of the patterns I got were $15 or more!! I only got fabric to make Ryleigh a dress. I figured I would try that out, then take it from there. Plus, it was lunch time and we were both ready to go ;) So hopefully the next post will be an awesome dress that I made, and not a disaster! We shall see....

My crazy life

I just wanted to share with the blogging public how crazy my family is. While I was away in Managua, Nicaragua this is what happened.....

It's not an act, they are really this silly and crazy! But I love them both with all my heart :)
