My Sewing Projects

Sewing is the best thing that has ever happened in human history. Sewing is definitely my biggest passion, and I soon want to take clothing construction classes over the summer at the local college so I can actually create all my clothing visions! In the meantime, I'm sticking with patterns.

First of all, I would love to thank Simplicity, McCall's, and Vogue patterns for providing such beautiful patterns for clothing that I can make right at home whenever I please. Also to Joanne's fabric stores for providing nearly all the fabric for my projects. I have so much fun doing these, and the wonderful pattern and fabric makers of these companies are making my dreams come true. Even though I don't know you guys, you're pretty dang awesome.

And, my mom loves sewing as well, so she was and is willing to help me during tough/new steps and translate the instructions for me. I'm working to understand them on my own, but mom has helped me a lot so I don't screw up. She's awesome, so I should thanks her too. Thanks mom!

This is simply going to be a collection of all my projects. I strive towards sewing dresses that have sleeves and skirts that go down to at least my knees. I call them 'fidget-free' dresses. No pulling up or down, just clothes that are easy to wear but are still very stylish and cute. This is merely just a gallery, so I hope you enjoy all my creations, because I sure did, and do!



My Halloween costume and the perfect dress to wear to the Renaissance Fair this summer. Took us 23.5 hours to finish. Whew!  

This dress is SUPER fun to wear. The zippers on the hips tie the whole thing together. And, they're real pockets. Who doesn't love pockets?

Properly named my "Picnic" shirt. Awesome to wear during the summer. I wore it to the 4th of July, and wore it like a champion. 

My Valentine's Day dance dress. (Blush) The pattern originally had no sleeves, so I created my own. Yup, those are some pretty nifty improv. sleeves is you ask me. Too adorable to handle.

I made the skirt, and I just happened to have a shirt that matched it perfectly (unintentionally). This skirt is feminine because of the ruffles, and spicy because of it's color. The best skirt to spin in EVER!

I call this my 'Cinderella' dress. It is the first one I have ever made, and it turned out great! This is the best dress to spin in. Light, spinny, beautiful... sign me up.

And this is my pride and joy! My homecoming 2014 dress!! I'm so proud of it!
