Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
I'm really sorry for all the pictures but I couldn't get the details w/just one pic each. 6 outfits I've done this past month. All 6 are Jayme dress tops and a burda pattern for the capris. Both patterns have been altered in different ways for all 6.
First Munki tulips and Joanns stretch poplin, we've gotten so many compliments on this outfit, just random people walking up to me and asking where I got it, I even had one lady who sews childrens clothing for a local boutique ask me if I wanted to sew for her, lol, the ultimate compliment, anyway enough bragging
Next, Munki callipso(sp?) wide legged capri pants and Joanns white cotton/lycra rib knit.

Not Munki but the same style outfit capri pants and egyptian cotton from Joanns, oh and the applique is not the best so that's why there's no closeup oh and I have a matching skirt I made for myself last year.
Next, Munki gnomes (which I didn't even like until I saw all the adorable outfits everyone was making w/it). Wide legged capris, Joanns c/l rib knit and again, no close up applique is not the best.
Modeled.
Another (sorry couldn't help it
Last, my favorite, Munki fireflies and JA's egyptian cotton, this one I made the top a little longer than I planned so I did a casing and put elastic at the leg opening on the pants because it looked a little weird w/the wide legged pants and the longer, almost a dress top. All the binding has a decorative stitch and I used the same stitch to topstich where the ruffle met the top. The hem on the ruffle has a scalloped dec stitch. I love how this turned out

And since I've already overloaded this post, can I share one more picture, this is Emma and our German Shepherd, Bastian, we got when she was 2 months old, I can never get both of them to sit still at the same time so I have very few pictures of both of them, they're the best of friends and this picture turned out so cute.
Thanks for looking, sorry for all the pictures.

"So let them be little
'Cause they're only that way for a while
Give 'em hope, give them praise
Give them love every day
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle
Let 'em sleep in the middle
Oh but let them be little" - Billy Dean

Summer's new haircut, we cut 10 inches off and donated to locks of love.
Omg, I'm really speechless. Those outfits are just absolutely wonderful. Beyond cute, I just can't think of the right adjective! Anyway, my way of saying that I really love all of them
That pic of Bastian and Emma is really cute
