I really wanted to sew a skirt for my good friend Gen…
There was a lot of trial and error in this one but I finally finished it and I am really happy with the result…
It is a 6 piece gored skirt with knit waist, made with chocolate corduroy and an embroidered linen…

I finished another dress yesterday… and I am going to start working on a few skirts for adults to sell…
There is so much pressure in making clothes for others, but I love sewing and people seem to like the clothes that I make…
I don’t know if this little business will become something but it is something that I enjoy doing… I am getting my site ready and will put a few things up in the next few weeks…. and then I will be putting things up as I make them…. no customs and no pressure for me…
The clothes that I make are all pattern free… like with recipes I don’t like the constraints of a pattern..
so here is the latest…

A friend of mine’s daughter had her 5th birthday party over the weekend… I didn’t know what to buy her but wanted it to be special… even though my friend and I don’t see each other often anymore we met at the birthing center when pregnant with our first babes and we learned a lot from each other and shared a lot of laughs and some tears…
So I made this on Friday….

I read about this on a message board so I decided to give it a try…
Started the oven at 300F and started filling 4 muffin cups with broken crayons… 10 minutes later the crayons were melted… we watched (or tried to watch) though the oven door to see the crayons melt and Xavier thought it was cool…
Then we took them out and looked at them a bit before we put them in the freezer to set…
They looked really cool but I am not really hapy with the way they turned out… I am not sure that it was because the broken crayons were cheap… or we did something wrong but they didn’t colour much…
It was still a cool experiment though… and I think that I will be trying again with some good old crayola’s…

I shirred that first shirt that I made tonight and it looks so much better!
at least in my opinion!

ok… this was my test shirt just to practice putting things together etc (no pattern)… the fabric is a bit stiff (it was cheap and I bought it to practice with) and it makes me look a bit pregnant from the side… so I don’t know if I am going to try to fix it a bit so I can wear it or what…
anyway… here it is…
And then I had enough confidence to make this one… which I am pretty happy with… I was about to make it about the same style but didn’t have anymore of the same elastic… So… I got out the elastic thread and shirred it… I didn’t know how to shirr but it worked…
Now I am thinking about shirring the bodice part of the first shirt to see if that looks better…
