Project Yesu: Pillowcase Dresses

This month I will be making and sewing several pillowcase dresses.  I am donating them to Project Yesu.  They are collecting dresses to take to Uganda.  For more information on Project Yesu click the link above.  They will be collecting until the end of May.   

No more holy pants!

My daughter has worn out her jeans.  The holes in one pair are so large she can put her legs through them!   The weather will soon be warm and she will be trading her jeans for shorts.  So now do I have to buy new shorts?  I don't think so.  I have a great idea to transform her jeans.  It wouldn't be fair to keep all my great ideas for myself!   Keep reading and I'll show you how I gave these jeans a new life.

Hostess Aprons New to Etsy

I was working on this post when the batteries in my keyboard stopped working.  I would like to write more but I am typing with a mouse and on screen keyboard.

These are aprons I have made to sell locally.   They are now available at my Etsy Shop too.

Costumes from the Past

I love designing and sewing costumes! 

I love choosing the colors and fabrics.  I love mixing and matching patterns.   

I even love sewing without a pattern.

Halloween Costumes for my Girls

I wanted to share with you what I've been working on even if it's not finished.  It still lacks a closure on the back and the petticoat is needs more tulle.  (I already used 5yds.)  I had the hardest time finding wide ribbon without wire.  I bought the wired ribbon and pulled out the wire. (who knew)
