sewing bug

Help! I'm addicted to sewing lately and I can't stop! :P In the past 2 weeks I've made the following for Miss A: white swing top blouse w/ flower pin, navy capris, khaki 2 layer ribbon skirt, and a navy full-gathered-skirt jumper. Boring colors I know, but since she has to wear uniforms this year, I thought I'd try to fancy up the drab wardrobe with some of my own creations. They are all very simple and I guess you could say contemporary styled. I don't like a lot of "fluff". I reworked the store bought patterns almost completely though. All in the vain effort to create cleaner, internal, seams. Sad thing is, yes it looks really sharp, but no one can tell how much work you put into it. Not like some fancy stitch work that totally shows off. Nope, it's all hidden away inside the garment. That's ok, I did it to give A a bit more comfort because she hates itchy gathered seams.

I also made another sling. Pink, green and yellow big flowers. Totally girly to carry around that sweet Miss S. All my slings that I made for X are too big anyway. Woohoo!
