Simply Sewing

Today the mess can wait, I’m busy playing with my new favorite toy…

James got me the coolest Christmas present this year, a brand new sewing machine! I love it love it love it! It is a Brother 60 stitch machine, that can do just about anything. I’ve been busy sewing up a storm, and having way too much fun playing with my new sewing machine.

Finally, I Get To Make a Dress

This month I have had a few cool sewing gigs come my way, so my sewing machine has been extra busy. Last week a friend asked me if I would help create a dress inspired by Miss Patty Cake for her daughter who is turning 5. I thought the outfit sounded like a lot of fun to sew, and I finally get to make a dress.

Once the pattern was just right, I spent about 3 days working on the dress, when Dylan would take his afternoon nap. Once the dress was finished I couldn’t stop there, it needed something else.

I made a little purse too. I think that with a super cute dress, you just have to have a bag that matches.

The Tree Skirt Is Complete

The Tree Skirt is complete, and so is the Christmas decorating too!

I finished sewing the binding on this afternoon, and I really like how the tree skirt turned out. I think the kitties will enjoy taking naps under the tree, at least until the presents get there.

The Tiny Tote

I’ve got a little preview of one of the Christmas Gifts that I’ll be giving the gals this year… But don’t tell them!

It’s itty-bitty Nico-totes. I’ll be filling them with nifty goodies for all of the girl’s in the family. We also have a MOPS present exchange in December, and I’m thinking about making an itty-bitty tote for the exchange. Hmmm, I had better go and see how much fabric I have left…
