First Post!!!

So after much thought I have FINALLY decided to start my own blog! I kept going back and forth on whether I should do a strictly sewing blog or a strictly family blog and then I realized...why not do both at the same time?? Since a lot of the sewing I do is for my family it just makes sense. So here we go!!!


Last night I made a pillowcase dress for my friend Melissa's niece and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I love sewing these cute little dresses not only because they are simple to make, but also because they are SO versatile! What starts out as a dress for a two year old turns into a tunic at three and a shirt at four. Name me one other article of clothing a toddler can wear that long!!! Any of us that have kids can appreciate that!
After I finished the dress I made this SUPER CUTE reversible tote bag. I've been wanting to make my own bags for grocery shopping (especially since Brandon told me if I bought another "green bag" he may file for divorce--hahahaha!) and this pattern was the perfect fit. I'm thinking about whipping up a bunch of these to start selling on my etsy site once I get it up and running again.
Well...off to watch So You Think You Can Dance! I'll be blogging again soon:)
