Birds

Here is another basic t-shirt I made with some fun bird fabric I bought from Girl Charlee. I think I have finally perfected my t-shirt pattern to fit me just right (I made a few more tweaks after making this shirt) and I'm glad to have something I know fits that I can use as a starting point for lots of different projects.

Sew-vivor Prize!

I was so excited to win 3rd place in the Sew-vivor competition, and I got a really awesome prize package! Thanks to all the great sponsors, I was able to stock up on some beautiful fabric and try out some new sewing patterns!

I'm excited to sew some cute dresses and button-up shirts for my kids, and I already used the black lycra jersey to make my maxi dress. Thanks so much to all the sponsors!!

Maxi Dress

I love wearing skirts and dresses in the summer, and I've been wanting a maxi dress for a while. I got this black Lycra jersey knit from the Fabric Fairy using my Sew-vivor prize gift card, and it is really great fabric! It has great stretch and recovery and is really comfortable. I used my basic t-shirt pattern and added the skirt with an elastic waistband casing using this tutorial. I included side pockets and a pocket on the front. I really love it and I want to wear it every day!

I have since made a shorter version and a maxi dress for Anna that I'll show soon!
