Christmas Ornaments

I saw these ornaments at a craft show I went to and thought they were so cute! I didn't have any ideas for gifts for teachers and friends, so this fit in nicely. They were supper easy to make and I found everything 50% off...so 1 cost about $1.25. I made one for my tree too!

Dresses

I've been making dresses recently. One for a special occasion, and the other just for fun.

The first one is made with a satiny material. The fabric has silver sparkles in it which I think are very pretty. It was suggested that I could tie a silver ribbon around the waist. I think silver would look really nice. I had just washed it, so it's a little wrinkly...but you get the idea!



The second dress is made with regular fabric. Cotton I think. I think the brown and the pink go really nice together. This dress was kind of an experiment for me. My Mom wanted to teach me an easy way to sew in a zipper. She said you do everything on the flat...at least until there are no more flat seams to be sewn. The zipper looks amazing. I stink at putting in zippers, and doing it on the flat was so easy! I think I will continue making dresses this way! Thanks Mom!
