A Crafty Day

It's mid way through vacation week, and there had been much cleaning and purging happening around the house. The car was loaded with donations yesterday. Felt good to get rid of stuff.
So having done all the tedious items off the list, it was time to sew!

Audra,who grows daily it seems, has a huge pile of clothes that needed some attention. We are in the middle of switching seasons, but she still has lots of pj's that fit. I saw someone had "altered" their child's pj's, and removed feet and shorten sleeves-genius. So I hacked away and added some bias tape to keep the seams in tact. And they turned out not too bad. Winter/spring pj's will get us into summer now. Yay.
I also did some altering of pants, and voila! shorts. All these pants that are starting to be flood waiters, and not be wearable come fall, will serve well as shorts.

I got a good chunk of Audra's dress sewn as well. It's from an actual pattern, and have been making it in my sewing class. Got to a point where I'm stuck so I guess I have to wait til Friday to finish. Have the teacher actually help me with it. This is why I am taking the class, can't read a pattern. lol

And lastly, made myself a little ring. I love fabric flowers and just couldn't resist. Just don't look too closely at the painted nails, or lack there of nailpolish on some nails! lol
