Long Sleeves to Short

Such a great tutorial for adjusting sleeves.

Now you can go scavenge the clearance racks for winter clothes that can become summer clothes.

Dresses and skirts seem to be my go-to pieces to make for Savanah.  They are easy, super fast, and do not require a lot of thought along the way.  Shirts are not that way for me.

Exhibit A:

I followed this tutorial, struggling a bit.  I had a hard time with the sleeves and my pattern was a little low cut in the end.  I called my mom a couple times, but it can be hard to talk "sewing" over the phone.  Everything else about the tutorial was pretty easy and I think if I try it again it will turn out better.

For now I think adding some embellishments to the front will give it a little something more.

 Much better!

Jelly Roll Skirt

I absolutely love when my mom sends things in the mail. And look what happen to come the other day!

We found this great tutorial on Pinterest one night. With the help of a couple jelly rolls, my mom made one for all the girls.

Thanks, mom!

Party Skirt

There is something so cute and simple about a little skirt. Especially one you can whip together Saturday night before church Sunday morning.

This tutorial was really easy to follow.  So easy that I can't wait to try it out with a zipper in my size!

  

 Savanah looked extra cute with her little, blue cardigan over her shirt and her sparkly shoes. Girls are tough but I sure love dressing her up!

Shoe Re-Do

You have to try this tutorial!

I absolutely love little, pink shoes!  And everyone knows that white shoes on a three year old is a bad idea.

This is such a simple idea and totally works.  The dye stays on the canvas parts only.

Can't wait to find a pair my size!

Princess Necklace

Ariel and a sand dollar charm

A few weeks ago my sister called me about these necklaces she found on veryjane.com.  We both thought they were super cute, and what girl (young or old) doesn't love a Disney princess?

While perusing the deal trying to figure out which one I wanted for Savanah, I noticed that the girl who designed the pictures commented on the link.  The next click led me to her website full of designs specifically for bezels/bottle caps.  The sets of images are only $1.75 and she specifically says that you can use them in any way as long as you don't sell the images in their raw form.  Awesome!

After that it was time to start looking for the materials.  My sister did quite the search to find the bezels and inserts.  We decided on The Glass Connection.  I ordered the bezels and the epoxy stickers.  The seller suggested the epoxy stickers because of the ages I was making them for.  They are also self adhesive which makes them easier to use.  With shipping and tax each bezel and sticker cost a little over a dollar.

Cinderella and a key charm

Tinkerbell and a star charm

Meg and a Pegasus charm

Aurora and a crown charm

I love them all!  There are 12 princess images to choose from.  Would it be silly to make them all?  I also made a key chain for myself.  

My Mom...

is pretty awesome!

She has made several different banners for people. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other fun stuff. Oh, the things you can do with a Cricut.
