I'm in the garden dress.....

While we were away this past week our blog was featured on
Rhonda's Creative Life!  She writes a cool blog with
beautiful sewing projects & oh yeah she is a Pilot!
Our first feature that made our day...thanks Rhonda!
She also featured Janlynn from Sew More
who is an accomplished seamstress that we aspire to &
know her cool projects from my mom's blog!

We made this garden dress of this lavender soft stripe
with muted
flowers fabric.
 My mom had it in her fabric stash & could not
decide how to sew it up as it was quite sheer.

Not hard for us as it came......
pre shirred in the middle! lol

So we made it a double layer & that took
care of the sheerness.

My mom did a little hand sewing for the front bodice.

Sew you later!

Check out our vintage sewing machine!

Powder Puff Skirt

We finally finished this skirt we were working on for my mom!

This powder puff fabric is leftovers from silk curtains that 

my mom had that were pin tucked.  

The hem was done in hot pink because she likes contrast!

I think this skirt would look cute in a boutique! 

Missy

A sewing space

This is where I sew with my little Singer Featherweight

221-1....my kitchen table.  All of us 4 girls can easily fit around this

 pub style table to spend some time to sew together.

I do have a "sewing room" that houses my work horses like the

 Singer Precision, Singer Pro Finish 

over locker & my for fun Janome 350e Memory Craft

Embroidery Machine.

But since finding this little black beauty, I want

her to front & center....in my sitting room.

I am looking for a little table to put by

the front grande window & that is where I plan

to sew.....by the natural light!

Sew you later!

The Swirl Dress

This dress is a combination  of Butterick 5317 pattern using the bodice 

& for the skirt I used my own bias cut skirt patter.

I added a little ruffle to the bodice.

Happy Stitching!

We all made May!

My middle daughter wants in on the fun of this blog so let me introduce
Beth, who is at home from college!  In addition to trying a little
sewing she will be directing & filming our You Tube videos!

We are off to a great start for the first day of me made May!

We made 2 skirts from this pink & white stripe knit fabric.
Beth is wearing hers today & it was cut on the bias.

I made the patterns for both skirts using their  measurements.

Sew you later!

& you are?

We are:

Missy,  a 20 year old University student new to DIY
& likes to make pretty sparkly things & wants
to own her own boutique one day!

&

DeniseAngela her mom (iSew) who likes
to sew her own skirts & dresses!

This blog is to share our
sewing projects &
sweet boutique dreams!
We both have had other blogs on Tumblr & blogspot
 but this is the first one we are working
 on together as fun project.
Oh & I needed to make a blog for
one of my university courses
 for a credit!  So since my mom has a blog
I asked her to contribute to this one.

We thought we would just jump into the deep end
by participating in



& to inspire us!

Oh & we will be doing all of our sewing on this beauty:

a vintage Singer Featherweight 221-1 sewing machine!

P.S.

my middle daughter wants in on the fun & will
be our sometimes photographer & computer whiz!

So happy you came by our new blog!
