I am a seamstress

I am a seamstress might be a bit of a white lie.  I am sewing and loving it.  About a month ago Mrs. Diann Keller gave me 6 hours worth of sewing lessons at my house.  I had already purchased a sewing machine so I knew I had to make at least one thing.  I was worried my one thing was going to be a $130 dollar (cost of the machine) mini pillowcase.  This was not sew...I mean so.  I made a cute little summer skirt that looks adorable and I am even proud enough to wear it. 

Since then I have made a dress for Madalyn, one for Averi (my niece), shorts for Weston and a few more.  Here are a few of my creations in the last few weeks. 
My second creation, a dress for Madalyn.  It was a tiny bit big but we fixed that with a little shirt underneath.  She was so proud to wear it to school.


I made this adorable dress for my my blonde hair, blue eyed niece.  She wore it this past weekend and it is perfect for her.


Weston loved the outfit I made him for school a couple weeks ago.  He picked out the fabric while we were at Hobby Lobby one day.  He was so proud to wear this dinosaur creation.


My masterpiece...this dress I recently finished and it is for Madalyn to wear to her Award's Ceremony next week.  She told me it is her favorite dress ever.  I thought it was because I made it but she said it is because it is the most beautiful dress she has ever had.  It is far from perfect but I was able to hide enough of the flaws so no one will know.

Today I finished the shorts that Weston will be wearing for his Award's Ceremony.  He picked out this very preppy argyle fabric and I am sure he will look SOOOOO handsome.

I am having a blast making all these clothes and I have so many more to make for me, the kids and my niece.
