i've been having fun with my new(ish) sewing machine. i got it two years ago and could never figure out how to make it work so it sat in the closet untouched. my mom took a look while she was here and it turns out the machine was defective so i returned it and got a better one. probably should have figured that one out sooner! here are some of my projects to date:
ruffled tulle skirt: inspired by the shoes (she needed an outfit to wear them with) and skirts seen here, here, and here. also, please note the milestone: pigtails inspired by cousin sage.
clockwise from left: camera strap sleeve (i probably should have taken a picture of it in use, but now it's on the camera and it's too complicated), kimono baby booties, sewing machine cozy.
i like having another {useful} outlet for creativity. the first thing i made was a pair of baby legs for haven and since then whenever i get the machine out nash says "are you makin' nash's sock?" i guess he's feeling left out...next on the list is a project for him: a neck-tie.

just a regular martha...
I have been wanting to make that skirt! It turned out so cute and I love the piggies. Those shoes are way too stinkin' cute too. Way to go! You need to move by me so we can do fun crafty things. I am way better at finishing projects if a friend is doing it with me.
These are super cute! I really love the little booties.
So cute! I need one of those skirts for Harp!
all very cute. i have a bootie pattern that i was meaning to try. wyatt is too big now obviously, but maybe #2 will get to try them out. that is if i get my act together and actually use my machine.
Very cute stuff! What a creative person you are - I am jealous. I have no idea how to use a sewing machine without getting the needle and thread all tangled up. Your pictures are cute as ever. And little Haven is so, so adorable.
are there no end to your talents?! I want to make a sew machine cozy...my cover broke when i was back in college...thanks for the idea! Love the piggies...first piggies always a milestone!
i'm stealing a line from ellen on sytycd------------- i can do that.
i envy your creative nature.
L♥ve the ponies...she looks so cute!! Your projects turned out great!!!
