My Mom's Got Skillz.

When I was little my Mom used to sew my three sisters and I (and little bro when he came along) matching outfits for special occasions. This year she made my little girls Easter dresses. They felt so special and fancy!
Thanks Mom, Love You!!!

Easter Dresses.

I got ambitious this Easter and wanted to make matching dresses for the girlies like my mom used to do. I have had those two pillowcases laying around for years. They came from our wedding package that Grandma Sue left us before she passed. She brought them over to the U.S with her from Australia where she was raised. They turned out pretty cute and were so easy. I got both of them made from start to finish in less than an hour and you can't really beat getting two outfits for less than $3 total. Happy Easter!

Grey's And Bernette.

Do any of you other Greys Anatomy watchers often wonder why you watch it becasue 9 out of 10 times the end of the show makes you feel like you just got punched it the gut?!? I was watching last night while trying to sew on my newly working sewing machine (I terrifyingly took it apart on my own, put it back together and it works like a charm...except for the one loose piece rattling around) Bernette while crying over that pathetic show when I asked myself why I put myslef through such torture. On another t.v. related note, I hope all you ladies/gents out there are watching Revenge and The Bachelor. I not so secretly look forward to both every week. Back to Bernette. I found this awesome tutorial yesterday for a pencil skirt. Easiest thing I have ever sewn. Start to finish took less time than it took to watch Greys without the commercials and stopping three times to but Tootsie back in bed. So if you are in need of something new/cheap for the wardrobe try it out. I made mine is a brown/tan houndstooth pattern but unfortunately a picture is not available becasue the skirt is currently covered in Stella vomit.

Guess What Came In The Mail Today?
