Fun with Orange

All the kindergarten classes had color days for 9 days in a row. Each day they were to wear something in the color of the day. When my daughter first brought the paper home I thought it was a fun idea. Then I started looking through all her clothes. The only color she didnt have was ORANGE. I had gone walking the next day with a friend and mentioned the color days to her. I told her the only color we didnt have was orange. She had this old T-shirt of hers that she generously passed on to us.

Sorry I didnt get pictures before I started cutting on the shirt. Here is what I did.
1.CUT: I cut the neckband and the sleeve bands off. I also cut some length off.
2.HEM: I used a rolled hem around all the edges that I cut.
3.SHIRR: I used the elastic thread to shirr around the sleeves,neck and a couple inches above the hem of the shirt.

Ok as for the skirt. This was not really planned. I went to the Grannery. This cute little quilting/fabric store just to look...for fun. Yeah right! I saw this fabric with the deep purple and the oranges in it and could not resist.

Can fabric really be considered yummy?? Well to me...absolutely! If you want to see yummy fabric you have to check it out at the Quilt Home. Lots of delish fabric from lots of amazing designers like, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Joel Dewberry, Jennifer Paganelli, Heather Bailey, Tanya Whelan, Sandi Henderson, Erin McMorris and dont pass on the bright colors of lusciousness from Paula Prass. The list goes on and on. Check it out if you're a fabric lover like me and you won't be disapointed.

Little Jean Skirt

I tried my best to duplicate that cute little jean skirt I saw on Etsy. I think it came out pretty darn close. I think it turned out so cute! Love it!

Little dress

Okay so I know I said that the little jean skirt was next. I just haven't had the time to look for the fabric. So on to this fun little dress. I love the bright colors and the simplicity of it. Found the hot pink leggings at Wal-mart for $4-$5.

Next Project

Saw this cute jean skirt on Etsy and I am in love and have to have one. Well not for me but for my daughter. This will be my next project. Oh so cute!!

Cuteness & sophistication

All these sewing blogs are posting their idea of the "back to school" look. So I went to work with my ideas. Aaaannndd....Here it is. Sophistication comes together with ruffley cuteness for our back to school look.

Box of onsies

And then rolled and packed them up...
