Sew Crazy

My amiga Harmony came over yesterday, and after a healthy lunch of Wendy's hamburgers, we released all of our crazy kids outside to play and get wild with water while us ladies got wild with the fabric.


We sewed for about 4 hours straight.... oh my. By the end I was ready to throw my sew machine in the garbage and just walk away. Luckily, Harmony was the voice of reason and kept me focused on the end results, which were:

Porter's 4th of July shirt

Holiday dresses for the girlies with matching hair clips


And a couple of other fun little summer dresses.

Once again, we ventured into the land of no-patterns. Harmony had bought some really cute dresses like these at a boutique, and we figured we could do the same for a fraction of the price (and we did).

I have a few other dresses to finish, but I'm not sure when I will work up the courage to pull out the sewing beast again...

Wow, Court! They turned out awesome. You are so talented. I like the hair clips. And I also like Porter's new hair style.

You are so talented! They turned out so cute. I agree, the sewing machine is a beast! I am too afraid to venture there :)
