I've been busy

 ( I know many of you have already seen most of these pictures but I wanted to add them to my blog :o)
   I bought a new sewing machine and I have been busy sewing some outfits for Paris.

This is just fabric and a tank top. Very easy to put together.



The skirt is from Jacob's sweater. I just put in some elastic and "Poof" she has a skirt. 

This dress was made with bandanas and a tank top. This is Paris' favorite. All I did was sew the bandanas together, cut out a circle and attach it to a tank top. E-z p-z!

I made this top from a dress that my friend, Beth, gave me. The dress belonged to her daughter but she was tired of ironing it (lots of little ruffles, very annoying) so she thought I would like it for scrap fabric. I like it paired with the black and white gingham. I think she needs something under it, though, like a fitted t-shirt.



I love everything about these pants from the fabric to the shape. I ran the elastic only in the back rather then all the way around the waist. I'm very happy with these. They look so good on Paris. The next time I use this pattern I will lengthen the pant legs.


   
I am so happy with this skirt. I stayed up until 3 in the morning working on it. For a week or two I had several different yards of fabric laying around the house, draped over everything waiting for it to tell me what it wanted to become:o) Finally the fabric spoke and said it wanted to become a skirt and wanted these three fabrics paired together.
