Sewing projects

Well as I said in my previous post I have been working on some sewing projects. This weekend I finally finished 2 I had been working on or planning to work on. The first was an apron for my baby. It was a simple pattern I downloaded online. It was so simple to make. I made hers reversible by putting Velcro on both sides instead of just one. I even made one for one of her friends since I had enough material. I think in total I have maybe $5-7 in them. That's actually probably a high estimate. The material was on sale at Hobby Lobby. I already had elastic and I did have to buy Velcro, but it was a multi-use pack. Plus I can toss it in the washer. I think it turned out pretty good myself.

The next project was to help my sister make dance outfits for my niece and a friend. I started on these a few weeks ago. Those projects are always works in progress. We finally got them finished this weekend. Even though there are 2 I only have a picture of one. The lighting is different in the pics so you can better see the color. My camera has not done it justice though. It's a pretty shade of purple. The matching outfit is bright pink. My sister made one and I the other. Then I fitted them and put the fur on. My sister and the other girls mom did the studding with rhinestones. These are outfits they will use for competition.......and they were much more than $5 a piece lol.

Long Time No Talk

I know it's been a long time since my last post. Things here have been busy and I just haven't had time or the energy really to post. It's not from the lack of things to post. Quite honestly, since my mom died I haven't felt like doing much of anything. Plus the cold weather doesn't help much either. I'm sure I have suffered even more this winter from SAD also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Pretty much it's when the bad weather gets you down. I know it sounds silly but it is a true disorder. I"m thanking God that the weather here is finally starting to change. We had about a week and a half of really good warm weather. That was what I needed to kinda get me kick started again. It's amazing what sun will do for you. Since that week I have been working on sewing projects out the yingyang. Not to mention I have dealt with a bout of bronchitis myself. My baby has been sick with the crud too . My hubby has been sick with sinuses and then to top it all off had to have a wisdom tooth and a molar pulled on the same day. But we are all on the mend thank God! Guess you can see how it's been hard to blog. I'll post a pic of one of my sewing projects. It's not the best pic but it works. These are what I have to wear at work to cover my hair. I have been sewing them and selling them at work. I'm currently working on an apron for my baby and a friends little girl. After I finish that I'm off to my sister's to help sew dance outfits. Maybe I'll post pics of those later! Hope everyone has a great day!
