…to hold my eyes open. I am pooped. My day was a blur. My mother-in-law took my daughter for her first mani-pedi this morning so I’d have some time to work…Sienna waited by the door for an hour in anticipation…ready with her purse, toy cell and laptop. I peeked in her purse….8 erasers, one outlet safety plug, a rubber band, a small plastic dog, and some cookie crumbs….very important stuff.
Here is some sewing I did today for the boutique tomorrow:
A peasant dress (from the Leila and Ben pattern)…..
….with little black and white bows at the sleeves.
I call this one the “Sound of Music” peasant top….because I made it from some leftover drapery material. If no one buys this I am definitely keeping it for Sienna to wear this fall.
This dress was made from the scraps of 4 different t-shirts using the Sienna Dress pattern. I stenciled the stars.
I might have to keep this one too. So much for running a business…..
After everyone went to bed tonight, I painted 5,000 little dots on an assembly line of nursery paintings.
I know I haven’t visited many of you or returned emails the past couple days! I plan to catch up at the end of the week….so sorry! I don’t like feeling out of touch. Thank you all so much for your nice comments and encouragement. Hope you have a great night!
Good luck at the boutique tomorrow … and have fun! 😉
I am sure it will be a success!!

Good luck at the boutique. I never thought of using drapery material for making clothes!
GOOD LUCK! I love the skulletons dress. 😀
Cute! Would you mind sharing sometime what brand of paint you use for fabric stenciling? I'm having trouble finding one that isn't runny or puffy.
Thanks!
I can't find that dress pattern…that you used for the coffee dress, the halloween top and the 2 in this post…can you tell exactly how to get to it? I LOVE the pink and black skull dress!
good luck tomorrow!
I hope you get a little bit of rest tonight (if the excitement doesn't keep you awake). =)
If you think of it take some photos of your booth 🙂 I am so excited to hear all about it… 🙂
Good Luck, I know you'll be a hit!
Love the coffee sack dress… fabric paint scares me, but i think this dress might be the ticket to help me get over it! Seriously so cute.
I just recently came across your blog through blog hopping! I love it! I love everything! What a great idea to do with the shirts! 🙂 Thanks for being inspiring! Hope you have an amazing rest of the week <3

Hi! You visited my blog way back in August (Caprese Salad post) and I wanted to return the visit. I just love to sew and am so glad to have found you. Although my kids are all grown and gone, I'm hoping that I can make some little one's clothes some day when my daughter has a family. I quilt A LOT though! I'll also visit your Etsy shop. I started to follow you and if you're in the mood for some recipes, please stop by again! have a lovely day in CA! Roz
I totally bought that sweet dress pattern after seeing all the cute ways you've changed it up. I've already made two and I just started last night! Thanks so much for being willing to share your talent! I just love being able to make clothes for my girls!
Your blog is so amazing! It is full of so many great ideas. I am not sure if you have already been presented with the Honest Scrap award, but I have passed it onto you! I linked your blog to my post today :).
