WOW............ you are so talented. I used to want to be a fashion designer you are that and more. You have inspired me to try to find a sewing machine. I would love to learn how to do what you do. You are so resourceful and your creations are beautiful. Keep up the good work. You should start your own clothing line with swimsuits, dresses, shirts, bonnets, baby girl dresses there is no limit to what you can do.

Updated again! I made a hobo bag tonight out of some heavy fabric. It's only my second attempt at purse making, but I think I did good this time!
This is literally the simplest, easiest, and fastest sewing project I remember ever doing. It took about an hour. I'm really proud of this one!

BTW, thank you so much for all your compliments! You're all so nice!

Updated, AGAIN!! I'm a sewing FOOL! Actually, this only took me about an hour from cutting to snapping the picture! Yellow swimsuit bottoms with a braided belt, made out of a pillowcase.

I want one of those pillow case tops! Seriously, you should go into business. It's just beautiful. Is the yellow part underneath part of the top or are you wearing a tank top under it?

Well done! I wish I could sew!

It's part of the shirt. It's also made out of a pillowcase (the same one I made the yellow swimsuit bottoms out of). I wear undershirts all the time, but haven't tried making them yet. I do have a pattern for them, tho, so I'd say... look for them soon!

I'm going to be updating the blog thoughout the weekend. I just put another, larger, hobo bag on it, and I'll be adding a dress, a skirt, and hopefully a top within the day. Be sure to check up on it--I think you'll really like them!
