Another Pillowcase Dress

I have fallen in love with the pillowcase dress.  I LOVE making them, I LOVE how easy they are to make but most of all I LOVE how they look on my sweet daughter.  I tried a new pattern this time around and I like better than the first one.  I also made them this one with  french seams which I learned just today!  I was thinking about making these and putting them on etsy.  If anyone is interested in purchasing one please let me know.

My New Obsession

Today was a great day for my creativity.  I decided to take my mom and one of my beautiful daughters to Desert River Bead Shop where we got a lesson from Cindy on how to make a bracelet.  It was sooooo much fun.  I had a hard time at first because there were so many beads to choose from.  Everywhere I looked there were colorful and interesting beads.  I was almost lost.  I finally choose a color and then I had to come up with a design.  I thought that was going to take forever. Here is where I make a confession to you.  I am not very creative.  Oh, I can craft thing and sew half way decent but I have to copy a design.  I literally have to take someone with me to the fabric store to help my coordinate fabric. 

I had a blast and I got to take home a bracelet that I designed!  I didn't copy anything.  It was easier than I thought.  I am planning a girls day soon.  I f you are interested in coming along let me know.

My First Pillowcase Dress

I spent the afternoon making my first pillowcase dress for my toddler.  I love the idea but I hate the pattern.  It is really a simple idea but the pattern I had decided to complicate the whole thing.  In the end I just put it together the way it made sense to me.  Here are some pictures of the dress and my cutie!  I am looking forward to making some more of these but next time I will leave out the bias tape, which I hate anyway.
