Sewing Machine + Time =


I had a little extra time on my hands and my moms sewing machine at my house, so I decided to experiment with a few things.  I had seen some things on other blogs that I wanted to try myself and they didn't seem to much above my skill level,  so I decided to give it a whirl.  Heck, if I can make something with things I already have & not spend a fortune, sign me up.  

This was my first attempt.  It was super bowl sunday & Maude needed something festive to wear.  Let's be honest she didn't want to wear a football jersey so I decided to make this.  It turned out pretty good for my first try & she was definitely ready for some football!
Love the little leg warmers.  That's all i'm sayin...

First attempt plus the leg warmers got me to this last pic. (Notice she is getting a bit chubby...it's too cute)
I have to admit I had a lot of fun trying to get my craft on.  It doesn't happen a lot, and it doesn't always turn out so well, but Maude didn't really mind the flaws in her outfits so I didn't either!

I need to get me some crafty skills! You know I love me a good pair of leg warmers, she is so cute and I know I haven't seen her in person but she is such a good combo of both of you guys.
