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!

Theme Friday's


This weeks theme for Me Made 13 is water!

Beth & I did not finish our projects so we are
sharing my moms who finished hers last night!


Now we do get enough of water around here, from rainfall to 
floods but we thought we would share the fun kind of water....that you swim in!

This is my first time my mom has made swim wear & she always has problems
with the RTW fit so she designed this simple bandeau top.



No pattern....just her measurements with the marked down swimwear fabric that comes 
rolled up in under a meter for a few dollars!

Sew you later!

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!
