Okay, so by now you know that I am obsessed with sewing. I got to spend all day Saturday sewing with a good family friend, Mrs. Burkhardt. She has been sewing for years and has so many fun machines and gadgets and just the cutest patterns. She was so gracious and taught me so many great things to help improve my sewing and embellished some of my outfits while I was there. Here are pictures of all the cute things we did. (and not only was Saturday great because I got to sew with a master sewer but I also spent the whole day away from Kate - which was sad but great all at the same time).
This is a little sear sucker outfit - I learned how line a top and to do a ruffle which I was very excited about. I still have to make the bloomers but I wanted to show the top because I think it is so cute.
I can't wait for football season this year and to dress Kate up for the football games!
Are these onesies not the cutest thing? Mrs. Burkhardt has an embroidery machine that is amazing to watch.
I am borrowing a pleater and learned how to pleat a bishop dress! Now I can pleat, smock and sew the dress!!! Mission accomplished.
Here is Kate in one of the dresses I made.

I think it is wonderful! I grew up with lots of lovely handmade items from my mom. Even in high school, she made my homecoming and prom dresses! And now she made the flower girl dresses and my veil! So keep on sewing!!
