Post yours here! [Smile]

This is my latest. I actually bought a pattern and followed the directions to make this cute Halloween skirt for Julia. She wore it today at the Halloween carnival in our neighborhood and I had her pose by that tree. Then I realized that the tree was covered in poison oak so I raced home with her and dunked her in the tub.

Julia is the cutest! The skirt, lovely and well-made as it looks (you're doing great, Mandy. Give yourself a huge pat on the back!), pales by comparison next to her facial expression. [Big Grin]

I really should take pictures of the things I sew. I do photo some of them, but haven't for the last, oh, dozen projects. I really should...

But not today. I've had a really rough last 15 hours and I'm heading back to bed where I hopefully won't fall off the world. Dizzy dizzy dizzy.

Here are the finished snowman jeans I was working on ages ago. I made the snowman a hat and scarf and finished the other leg (finally!) Both legs have the same snow and ruffle at the bottom.

Aw, Mandy, you've done an incredible job! You really should be proud of yourself! [Smile]

I posted the skirt I first made for Julia on Craig's List with some different holiday fabric options and someone bought one! I will make it for her over the long weekend and will deliver it next week! Woo-hoo!

Here are some pictures of the finished skirt (in a new Craig's list ad). I will get tired of showing this off soon but I am still so excited!

First things first. Your girl is so incredibly cute. [Big Grin]

Secondly, you're doing a fantastic job with your sewing. [Smile]

Thanks! We kind of like her too! She did NOT want to take these pictures though so it is amazing they came out as well as they did.

Thanks again! I am really proud of this one since all the seams came out nice. My hubby printed cute little tags to put in them too with a pumpkin bear logo on it. I call Julia my pumpkin bear. [Smile]
