I got nothin'.

My brain is pretty fried this weekend but I am working on some very pretty things.  In fact one of them is so pretty I keep finding an excuse to walk past my sewing room just so I can look at it.  I will show it later (I'm actually having it modeled by a real live child).

Anyway, here's another sweet little thing I made this last spring and it's still one of my favorites.  I took a t-shirt and squared off the neck, stitched some grosgain ribbon on it to stablize it and put this little ruffle in it (sort of a dainty sailor look) and appliqued one of the big roses from the fabric onto the front of the shirt.  I made this twirly skirt (I love hand made bias tape, it just adds that special touch) with a ruffled underskirt to match and then sold it for moolah.  Yeah baby.

This stunning fabric is actually a sheet from Pottery Barn Kids and I had been eying it for some time and then it went on sale and I snapped it up.  It washed up very nicely which is a treat since some sheets start out nice and soft and get really pilly and flimsy after one wash.

Purty.
