I haven't posted in quite some time. I have been sewing but not as much as norm. I have been working long hours at the office. During the month of February, I worked on some Christmas quilts for the kids. Can't post the progress because they would see, but I have had a great time planning and putting this together. I am not a seasoned quilter so this is a new adventure.
I had a great time planning the project below. I was pulling fabrics out of the box and Angela(daughter) spotted the small green print and said that she wanted something for Lola. I was not excited because it seemed very dull. I visited several material shops looking for something to perk this up. Success was found @ Heirlooms Forever in Tupelo. They have a great group of employees and are teriffic help. Together we came up fabrics to make the green print look special.
I have made a few other outfits for all the others too, but they are pretty basic.
Lola will be in a dance recital this weekend. I had to do some alterations to her costumes. I took a snapshot, she is not a poser.....always looks a bit scared. We will not be able to take flash photos at the recital so here she is.
I guess that we are ready for the performance.
Aren't those alterations on dance costumes fun? I always got frustrated because they cost soooooo much and made sooooo poorly! All the other little outfits are adorable!!
