This sewing business...

...is a slippery slope.

First you're just replacing buttons.
Then you try making a pillow.
Or maybe some curtains.

Next thing you know you can't even pick up a shirt or dress without adding your own embellishment.

Or maybe it's just me.

I used applique for the "2" and the basketball on this tank top for Vince. They were from the same fabric I used on his tool belt. The basketball trail was done with embroidery.

The "E" on this dress for Ella was also applique and I used this tutorial for the adorable flower (which I might be obsessed with making now-- they are SO easy and cute!)

(No, I didn't add the pockets and buttons, I just didn't take a "before" picture so the first shot is the back of the dress. Ha!)

Is no item of clothing safe???

New sewing this weekend though-- at least not involving clothing.
Felt bunnies? Yes. Homemade marshmallows? Oh yeah.

Happy Friday!

  4. Love this dress and what you did to it! I bought the same one for my daughter, Elliott....Old Navy, right? ;-) I need to learn how to make those darling flowers! Too bad my Mom's sewing skills didn't rub off on me. ;-( I will check out the tutorial and see what I can do.
