Dresses

Originally this little girls dress had all the petals sitting in the bottom of the dress. I tacked them all into place. I think it looks much better.

 Beside the fact that I am chubby I love how this dress turned out. It's the first dress that I actually wanted to wear in public after I made it. haha. It has a hidden zipper in the back that looks awesome. Can't wait to make another one.

Home sewn Boxer Briefs

I did not expect underwear to be so easy to sew, yes it has little fabric involved but it looked daunting. It's really easy to sew, and it turned out so cute even for boys. Yes that is pink fabric you see below but hey for a boy who is going to be potty training in them I didn't think it was a big deal. I especially love the fact that because the unders are made from my old "T's" and I already had the elastic they only cost was the pattern. I think it was ($12) Totally worth it, it's a great pattern, and has tons of sizes.

Butterick B5330 Skirt C

My mother found this fabric at a yard sale, and gave it to me.

This is what I made out of it.

The size is a bit bigger than the pattern says. I should have used a stronger elastic, there is a lot of fabric here. Or maybe that is why there is a belt in the pattern picture. LOL.

All in all I would definitely use this pattern again.

Butterick Fast & Easy B5219 Review

This is defiantly not a fast and easy project. More like a pain in the butt and it still doesn't wear right. This blouse when completed doesn't sit on the shoulders well, it shows bra straps easily. Also super short. I'm rather short waist-ed and it's still short. No good.

In the end I believe I chose too heavy of a fabric, but really the directions were terrible. Now mind you I know the sewing is not perfect but this was a long process project.

I made these pajama bottoms from McCall's Pattern M6224 (size 2) I bought a men's XL button up top and used that for the fabric. I think it was 3 dollars, husband didn't have one he would let go of. I love how they turned out!
