That's me...proud as can be! I have channeled my inner "martha stewart" today and I feel so accomplished! :) First, I've been wanting to make myself a new spring colored keychain. Today, I took the plunge, and did almost all of this on my own! Mom did help walk me through the embroidery part (and then I clipped the wrong thread and all the stitching fell out and I had to re-do it...hahahaha!!) But...just look at the finished product! :) And yes, I used the sewing machine ALL by myself! WHOO-HOO!!!
THEN...I really took a creative turn and did something I've been itching to do for a long time!! I MADE A DRESS!!! Sure did...I made this cute little pillowcase dress :) Mom gave me instructions, but I did ALL of it MYSELF!! (Even thought the machine kept trying to 'eat' my material, and I sewed one hem a hundred and fifty times...that's persistence!) I said all along that I wasn't making it to sell; that I might give it to a little girl if her mommy was brave enough to let her wear it without fear of the stitching coming out and the dress falling off, but Mom said there wasn't a thing wrong with it and I should try to sell it :) It's not perfect by no means...but it turned out better than I ever thought for my first garment!! And...I even used the serger for the inside edges!! And...I still have all of my fingers with no stitching in them, although I did ram a straight pin in one! Just had to share my exciting and fun day!
By the way...make sure you check out Creekside Creations!! I updated it last night and have several more new things that I will be sharing. OH...we are making and selling pillowcase dresses (like the one above, but in your choice of fabric), Mom will be making the ones we get orders for ;) and they will be $15 without a monogram or you can get them monogrammed for $18!!! Yep, the one above can be monogrammed with name or initials...it was made by a size 3 pattern....I think it's just itching for some hot pink lettering :)
