I finally found a little time to finish the gift for niece's birthday. This cute little sailor girl's outfit. McCall's Pattern MP220. Simple vibrant top with little jean shorts. She will be absolutely adorable in it.
I had a fabulous time at my sister and Mike's wedding. Love my new family-in-laws. And I couldn't wait to share photos of the event and my flower girl dress actually being worn. Maybe now I can get back to some more serious crafting. 
Finally sucess. After weeks of back on forth with mother of the flower girl we finally settled on design of sorts and I started to work. For those of you new to my random crafts I have been the responsible party for sewing to the flower girl dress for my sister's wedding, To make it all just a wee bit more challenging for this average sewer I had to take one anthropologie dress (bridesmaid dress) and make it into one fabulously perfect and sweet little flower girl dress all for the love my sister.:). BTW, I was supposed to make the ring barrier pillows as well but thanks to Etsy I foudn a much better crafter to do it for me.
Well I finally stoped procrastinating, only at the point when I realized the store was no longer carrying this dress and decided it was now or never. I must chop and sew. I am pretty pleased with the end result and I am hoping it just looks adorable on the little girl and her mother is pleased.. So below you will see the dress I started with, and two flower girl photos one with the sash and one without. We are all wearing sashes but I thought I might make something I little more funky to dress up the flower girl dress instead of the sash but those juices are still a brewing. I'll post photos of the big day once it has come and gone in three weeks.
Oh yes and ring barrier pillows I had made by Two Yellow Shoes.
I finished my niece's matching outfit this weekend.
Here we go, my first shot at the flower girl dress for my sister's wedding. It is a summer outdoor wedding. A casual summer affair. I used some fabric that you've seen before for the practice version. The real version will be made of the same fabric as our bridesmaid dresses we bought at anthro. Try and use you imagination... Should I put the overlay on it and make it and the bodice out of the same yellow fabric, but another yellow up under for the bubble or do should I be bold and use a black and white polka-dot up under. Or just do the bubble and bodice with no overlay in the same yellow print with a matching black and white polka-dot ribbon around the waist. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Okay, I know you're tired of these jackets and I am well burnt out on making them. Her is another two for my family. Yeah, I tend to try and give everyone around the same thing but personalized to their style. On both of these I modified them from their original pattern.

I am stuck at home with the flu this week. Not sure I am going to be much up to crafting. But over the weekend I worked on an outfit for my cousin-in-law's son Cole. It is classic jon-jon. I made it fully reversible with ties at the neck and snaps on bottom. I extended the legs slightly to give it few extra months of wear by just rolling up the legs into a cuff. I even made him a personalized Clemson pin. Can't wait to see him wear it. And for those of you Carolina fans out there. I am a gamecock and it pains me to have to sew Clemson attire. Hopefully, we'll pull off any win this week. 
I managed to get a quickie in this week...... A new bubble dress made on a request from a friend. It finally gave me the opportunity to use a piece of my Heather Ross Far Far Away fabric collection. I think it turned out perfect.
It has been a few weeks and we have been vacationing, wedding and visiting family so there hasn't been a whole lot of time to sew. So here is a photo of my boys on fathers day. The three crab Jon-Jon on my youngest son was an outfit I made 3 years ago for my oldest and it has held up well. It makes me sad though that my boys are too big for those sorts of things. So I am looking for ideas for little boys if you have any.
I finished it. my Oliver & S Bubble Dress. I know... I was going to do it in some of my Heather Ross Far Far Away stash but I just couldn't decide and came up with too many ideas so I went with a simple but modern Alexander Henry Print. I loved the way it turned out and can't wait for my niece Addy Lynn to wear it.
Okay I finished two more projects this evening. My Rocket Scientist Quilt and another cute out fit for little Avery's birthday this weekend. I plan on making a flower pin to go with the Girly strips skirt and that should complete her gift.
