this and that

Just plugging away over here...
Doing little things.
I can't believe I didn't make one of these hexagons
for myself last year!!!
They are so easy and I made so many last year...
I can honestly say.....
"I can sew them in my sleep!" :)

For the one above I enlarged the outside two strips to 3"
instead of 2 1/2".....
hoping I'd be able to get those snowmen in!
I was afraid of losing too many if the strip was too narrow.
It took more fabric that way and it's a little too big for my taste.
Oh well..
Live and Learn.
Then I added a little excitement to...


This dress...
That came from the thrift store. ;)
 It's amazing what leftover beaded trim
and a few simple buttons can DO!!!!


 Our Christmas dress is now ready for
some action!!!

  2. I just finished two bags for Christmas presents. I didn't have time to make anything for myself this year. I think as soon as I am done with my mitten gift card holders I am hanging up the machine until after Christmas.

  7. great little dress and a plaid tartan bow for her hair would be adorable!
    or just red!
    my girls would love to wear ribbon sashings on dresses like that
    I would take them to Michaels and let them pick out 3" ribbon or so and we would buy enough for them to wear on dresses like this and tie a bow in the back!
