I have been on a sewing frenzy the last 4 days. I honestly don't know how to sew but Arlan's grandma has her machine at our house and all the instruction books. So, I decided to take up a new challenge and try it out. Here's what I made. First I bought a shirt at Goodwill and turned it into this cute blue dress.
Then I bought some fabric on clearance and made this cute little pillowcase dress (that's what the instructions called it)
My biggest challenge, although it doesn't look that complicated was a curtain/roman shade for my bathroom. I love it and I'm so proud of myself for taking on this project and having it turn out pretty good.
