Newest Lil Dressy, Don't forget the Giveaway

Last night I was finally able to whip up this sweet little number called the "Ella" Dressy, because its my first of this kind and was made for a little girl named Ella. I take pride in naming some pieces after the sweet kids they were created for :)

I ended up taking a tank top of my daughters as a pattern and just cut this material longer for a dress style, then added some ruffles that I learned how to do recently and the straps I learned to do this style from the one hour dress tutorial from, "From an Igloo" whom is actually featuring all those dresses people made from the tutorial, yes mine is there :)

These straps though I decided to do a criss cross back.

What do you think???!!! I was very pleased as it didnt come from any special pattern.

I will be linking it to the many blog parties through out the week if I get the chance, so maybe you'll see it at some of these as well!

"Oh So" I have a problem!

So today Im surfing around blogs, and what do I come across a giveaway for a pillowcase dress at www.cupcakemagsprinkles.blogspot.com that are "oh so" adorable, which I found from BullFrogs And Butterflies post today. From there I scrolled down and saw an add button for "Oh So Sassy" (and man, I am a pushover when it comes to "sassy" stuff). So I fish around and within in 5 minutes I made a purchase! Woops, not like I really need another project to do, but I couldnt help myself. Check out this adorable dress on this adorable girl!

Yes, I plan on making it for Camryn now, because they have DoItYourself Kits, thats right DIY kit!!!! How fun. I haven't come across that, usually its just the finished product or pattern and you buy all your own stuff to make it with, but nope this one comes with that awesome red patterned fabrics. Needless to say I am super excited and wanted to share, so I will have to post the end result down the road too!

Don't forget about the pillowcase dress giveaway though, those are super cute too! This is the one I posted as my favorite :)

I did practice with ruffles again last night, but have no end product to show yet. I happened to brake the needle on the machine so I had to call it quits for the night! Me and that needle are just not getting along this week :O

Also, Happy Friday Follow!!!!, I just this found at Aubut Family blog! Thanks for stopping by and I'll be sure to swing by your blog soon. Next time I'll try to actually post what I should be for Friday Follow, but Im new - I need Leniency!

Have a good weekend all, if I happen to fall short on blogging this weekend (I never know) but Im planning on a blog soon about the disorganization of my house and the thousands of baskets I hoard to hide all the clutter! I need some better solutions and would love to share some of the projects i've done around the house :)

My First Ruffles

Last night I decided to experiment after coming across the "Ruffles and Stuff" blog and contest. This is my first attempt at my "own" ruffles. Came out OK, but I definitely need to experiment more! The ruffles are so cute, but when sat in front of the sewing machine I had a brain freeze of what to put ruffles on! Any great things to put ruffles on???? I am going to need some more inspiration pictures, I think the problem is there are so many things to put ruffles on and I only have so much time. So here was my first attempt:

I took an older B. Republic Jersey material shirt I had that me and my sister wore when we were pregnant, and haven't worn since. My intention was to turn it into a summer jersey knit dress for Camryn, but it turned into an apron :) that I will probably gift to my sister Katie as a joke since it was a "pregnancy" shirt we both wore as I look what I did! I did really like taking some scrap fabric though and turning it into a scrunchy flower using the ruffle tutorial. Speaking of Ruffles and Stuff, today she's hosting a giveaway of an apron she made last night as well. Its adorable, and can I say, much better than mine! (but who makes an apron out of jersey material lol, me)
Here are just a few Pictures I threw in that were better than the one I put on my blog yesterday about my "accident," This is the end product of my disaster :)

I get to spend my Thursdays working from home with my Cobeman, as we ship Camryn off to preschool for most of the day. Here is a picture of him from one of our bonding Thursdays I love so much.

Have a great Thursday!
