adventures in sewing

My sewing is slowly and steadily improving.

Exhibit 1:

this cute giraffe applique

Exhibit 2:

this dress, made using Lil Blue Boo's paper doll dress pattern, which Lily Barrie wore to Brittany's graduation.

You know, things turn out better when you use a pattern and try to follow the directions [and do some reading in your sewing manual] - imagine that!

I can't wait to make some more stuff out of all of the delicious fabrics that I now have in my stash.
