Tiered Dress and Flower

I finished it in time for Easter! I am so excited I did it turned out so cute! I also got this pattern from Portabellapixie! I love her patterns, the instructions are colored!! For Easter the Easter bunny brought me a serger! I am so excited it will make sowing so much cleaner, no more stray strings!

I also made this flower to go with the dress.

All you need is synthetic fabric, something for the center(pearls etc), an alligator clip, a needle and tread.

Cut out your circles, I started at a 4 inch circle and went down a 1/2 inch for each layer!

The reason you wanted synthetic fabric is because it curls when you burn the edges.

First burn all your edges, then put your flame under the edges so it will curl even more. as shown in this picture.

You can burn tulle, and lace too to add some texture to your flower.

sow the center of your layers to hold them together add your center piece and alligator clip an you have a fun fabric flower!

Swirl Skirt

I made this fun swirl skirt for my daughter! I loved this pattern because all I had to do was hem the bottom and add the elastic band! So easy for any level of sower! Click here to see the pattern.

I have never been much of a sower but there are so many fun patterns out there and the cutest fabrics! How can you resist making dresses and skirts? I am working on a Easter Dress for Klancee....I am hoping I get it done by EASTER, AHH! I will post it hopefully tomorrow!!!

Dress

I just finished this dress for my little one! I love how it turned out! I used a Portabella Pixie pattern and changed the top to straps instead of a yoke. This is my first time sewing in a long time! Sewing sure is rewarding though!!
