Just Sew Sew

I realized recently that I have only done one post about my sewing adventures. I would hate for you to think I haven't touched my machine since then. So to prove that I didn't build up a bunch of hype about wanting a sewing machine, I took a few photos of my new sewing projects.

I have not yet delved into using patterns, so for now I just find the fabric, get inspired, and use other objects in my wardrobe to be my guide.

Hope you enjoy the new creations :)

I bought 3 of these tops on sale ... 3 for $10.

When I was looking at them I noticed they didn't fit right. I believe the designers intent was to have the sides scoop in and make baggy pockets. When I tried them on it just looked all wrong. I decided to buy the tops anyway and cut them down to size and

use the extra fabric to make cute details.

Here is the process

I used the extra fabric to make ruffled flowers.

After the flowers were made I hand sewed

them on so they would be secure and not flop around.

Here is the finished project up close.

Here is the second top I redid. It was fall time when I did this

one so I decided it would be fun to do a leaf pattern.

Here is what I came up with.

When I was at the craft store I found this supper cute plaid fabric.

I don't think I own anything plaid so I decided to give it a shot.

I spent some time researching images of plaid skirts and other

regular skirt styles until I decided on this one.

This skirt was inspired by a Fashion Week designer.

The skirt I saw was a mini skirt but had looser

ruffles and more layers. I took the concept and made it my own...

I think it turned out really fun and flirty.

I have also been wanting to make a vintage looking necklace out of old keys... After some searching and cleaning and scrubbing I came out with this little gem. I really love the look of it.

I have a few other projects in line that I should be posting soon!!

As my husband would say... "Craft Hard"
