Ok, learning how to make them a little tighter and the more you make the faster you can do it..... but isn't that with most anything! Not quite finished with this one and I do not have any vintage looking buttons so I had to use the only rhinestones I had and it looks very imitation but at least you get the idea. Oh and did I say how much fun they are to make!! :) Now it is time to put flea market on the list of things to do soon.
Starting sewing the accessories for the cover patterns this weekend! Ok, had so much fun making this bib necklace!! I will be working on the Twirl SKORT new pattern cover this week and probably making some more accessories!! :) Hope all of you have a fantastic week and I will surely post pics along the way.
Don't you love this fabric!!? I do!!!!! This will be the fabric I will use for the new cover for the Twirl SKORT in 2011
Twirl SKORT information: I am out of stock of the Twirl SKORT physical sewing pattern. If you are interested in this physical pattern you can visit one of the shops on the right sidebar that sell SewSensible boutique shops. Now for the update: I am working everyday on patterns for 2011. I will have the Twirl SKORT physical pattern ready again in the beginning of the year. It has been one of my top sellers and I understand why..... we all love our children to dress modestly and this pattern did all that along with making our precious little girls laugh and play, jump and flip while being modest! I just love this pattern and can't wait for it to be available again.
Side Note: for all of you that own the Twirl SKORT or will be buying it I do want to let you know there is one spot that many are sewing incorrectly (and when I say incorrectly I mean not the way I designed it but they may like the way they are doing it so take this sewing tip for what it is): When sewing the skirt onto the pantaloon make sure to take all of the skirt and flip forward over the pantaloon and not fold it to where you make a casing. The correct way to flip the skirt over the pantaloon is to flip it completely over. If you have the pattern you will see what I am talking about when you get to that step. It will make a difference in the look of the Twirl SKORT. If flipped correctly the skirt will hang right over the seam of the ruffle of the pantaloon. If flipped incorrectly the skirt will hang higher above the pantaloon ruffle. Again, take this for what it is. If you are flipping the skirt the other way and like it then great but just wanted to make sure everyone knew the way the pattern was designed. Love all of you and can't wait to show you my changes and additions for 2011!!

I was asked to help get the word out about Sewing Hope. There are many opportunities to use our gifts and talents of sewing and this is one of those great opportunities :)
Sewing Hope: an organization with the goal of bringing friends together to sew handmade projects which will be donated to charities.
The organization came to be as an effort to combine love for sewing with a desire to help others. Every few months a new project will be announced at
Sewing Hope. The post will include all the necessary supplies, patterns and instructions for the project. When you have a moment please check out
Sewing Hope and see their first Project!! You will find on their site the sewing directions for this project!! What an awesome way to use the gift and talent of sewing!!
at home enjoying some SewSensible projects on this beautiful sunny day, door open as Rose and Grace go in and out drawing and coloring a bee they keep running from outside while one son is watching SchoolHouse Rock and the other sweet son with his cute little dirty feet taking a nap. Great day! Working on the 2011 physical patterns. Was also able to sew me a skirt last week..... maybe a future pattern. Hoping to post more pics of what I am sewing this coming week! Hope all of you are doing great!
