:(

Now on normal days I post a craft I'm working on or some kind of photo to update things here but well... I'm going to be quiet for a while. *sniff sniff* WHY you ask?

My sewing machine is sick so she has to go to the sewing machine hospital. I'm pretty sure the tension is off in the machine and it needs a tune up after all the time I've had it. SO I called the place I got my machine from and they told me where to take it but its going to take 2-3 WEEKS to get it back!!!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?! Of all things I JUST ordered the February 2005 Ottobre magazine with TONS of cute patterns AND just got a bunch of material too! HARUMPH! Figures.

DD has a new dress




So I know what you guys are all thinking... "Wait isn't that what her easter dress was made out of?? UGH matching dresses?!?! I would never!!" Well... neither would I but I did lol I don't plan on these being worn at the same time I swear! I just had SO much material left from my dress and the pattern was so cute... I couldn't help my self! The pattern came from the book "Making Children's Clothes: 25 Stylish Step-by-step Sewing Projects for 0-5 Years" which, if you are like me and MUST have a pattern for your projects then I recommend this book most of it is really simple projects that are just ADORABLE. It shows you how to do the little details that make it boutique worthy AND did I mention it supplies the patterns?? Well... 2 pattern pages that you can trace onto your own paper anyway (btw a roll of butcher paper is $10 at hobby lobby and will do many many many patterns!) but this is a good thing, albeit annoying sometimes, as it allows for easier alterations of the pattern and multiple uses! So GO buy it!

Have a great day everyone I'll see you at the next project!
