Here are some pics of curtains I did, I am getting so creative. I am just loving it.










Joshua's second shirt

Another shirt for Joshua. I had some problems with the collar again but I think I may have it down now. I did have another problem too. Scroll down and see.
















The button hole would not work on this particular spot. It kept getting stuck and messed it up so much after two tries that it was unfixable. So I had to do something that would make it not look too bad. Scroll down and see.















I had to make a little pocket for decoration. Then put the button hole below. Though I do not like it this way. I just could not think of any other fix.

Joshua's shirt


The sun is hitting it in this pic so the right side looks weird but here is the finished shirt. Christi wanted plaids but she never thought about how hard plaids can be. I think I did a pretty good job matching the plaids on this one. One more shirt for him to go. Yes more plaids.

Mya and Tira dresses


This is one of the dresses I made for Mya and Tira. No sense in taking a pic of both. Same fabric, same pattern. I am not good on zippers yet. Suppose I forgot how to do them. Many years ago i knew how.

Chloe's Matching purse


This is a purse made for Chloe to match her shirt.

Chloe's Shirt


This is a Hannah Montana pattern. I saw it in the Simplicity book and just knew Chloe would like it. It took a bit of work and a few fixes of mistakes. Like the sleaves I wanted both front to be red but messed up and had to do with what I cut out. The sleeves were to be sewed differently but I didn't read that part in the pattern. So I fixed it up and it worked out just fine and looks the same. I am just so happy how it
turned out.










This is a scan of the pattern it was to look like.

The pain in the butt shirt

I had so much trouble with this shirt but wanted to keep going even though the serger cut a piece of the fabric, then even though I cut another piece with the scissors. I doctored it up the best i could. It does not look great but wearable.

My first shirt


Ok this is a shirt. The sleeves need a bit adjusting cuz they are tight so I have to think about how to do that. Anyway I did good on the buttonholes. Its not as hard as I thought. Now on my way for another shirt. Just to improve as I go. I could use lots of shirts.













Ok this is the same shirt. The sleeves were too tight and I had to make an adjustment. So I ripped the seam out, cut off the surging and then cut a piece of blue fabic to make an interfacing and there I go, no sleeves but a nice look.

More purses





Here are three purses for three little girls. I just could not leave these little ones out.










There are four purses in this pic. One for Tira, Mya, Trinity and I made one for my next door neighbor's little girl, Paige.
