Poppy Boutonniere Tutorial and GIVEAWAY!!!!

Check out Groisgain for their flower tutorial and givaway. Always great pictures. An idea worth giving a try, though I might try fusing two fabrics together. It would both add interest by using two different fabrics and seal the edges at the same time.

One Hour Skirt

Yesterday I linked a post from Grosgrain about a twenty minute skirt tutorial. I thought about it during the day...when I got home I hit my stash of fabric. First of all my skirt took me about an hour to make for a couple of reasons. I didn't use my serger. I had to sew a narrow hem as my selvage was printed on one side with designer information. I also used about two yards of fabric, because I thought the flirty fabric of the skirt would look cuter if the skirt was fuller.

It was a fabulous and quick no-pattern project. I finished in about an hour. It was fun making something so quickly...especially when I have been working on my neighbors cushion covers lately.

I would absolutely use this method to quickly make skirts for my ten year old daughter.

I also have a time saving tip, I remembered in the middle of the night last night, for serger users. In the tutorial she serged the upper edge of the fabric and then folded it down and sewed with her sewing machine. If you fold your casing down and then fold in back to the right side of the fabric(like an accordion fold), and run the three layers through the serger, you have encased the edges and sewn the casing in one step.

More pictures to certainly come. I've been thinking about skirts all morning. I also have an idea for a similar project to make a tube top!!

Twenty minute Simple Skirt Tutorial AND GIVEAWAY!!!!

A great tutorial. A simple skirt anyone could make using a yard of fabric, according to her in twenty minutes. Check it out!

Sunday Laundry Shirt Dress

The giveaway is over, but I fell in love with the pictures. It makes me want to pull out my dress form and fabric...I love the soft dress paired with the boots. What a great look.

I've got some great ideas about little dresses I can throw on over my jeans when I go out. I'm just not as inclined to wear dresses as much as I did when I was younger...I'm not sure why. Maybe I just need to find the perfect little summer dress.

Here's to inspiring your dreams of summer dresses to come!

Fabulous Giveaway by Grosgrain

As always another fabulous giveaway by Grosgrain! I wonder how she finds the time. More than that, such great photos. Be sure and take a look. It's an inspiration to see the before and after photos. Maybe we should be a bit more cautious of the things we throw away (of course that is only if you are actually going to make the time to do something with it).
