Sewing

Lately if I have a spare moment there are two places you can find me. One is at the thrift store and the other is behind my sewing machine. I have always enjoyed sewing, but the cost has really held me back. But then I came across all of these fun websites that show you how to re-purpose old clothes into fabulous finds. I was inspired!



First I stared with adding a little trim to some plain Jane shirts Hayden had. By the time the third kid in a row is wearing the clothes, they have really lost their magic.


Then I moved onto pillowcase dresses.
And shirts I made from pillowcases.

(Hayden is really excited about it)
And then I did a bit of reverse appliquéing. So fun, but I have run out of plain shirts to fix up.

She was feeling like quite a ham today. We got 40 good shots in. She was making a different face in each.



And then one of mother boy for good measure. He is such a little copy cat. He has to do everything his sisters do.

Anybody want to hit up Thrift Town with me?
