Good as new

I made two dresses today in sewing class, and finished them at home. I actually made the black one from an old shirt I can no longer wear. I wanted to share them with you...



Purple and Tan floral with back tie



Black floral

The dress pattern is for a girls size 3-8, but I cut it down to about an 18 month. So, I hope that my little friend, Ansleigh, will be able to wear them.

Tool belt

I got this idea from another mom who I meet last week at sewing class. So, I did what she did....I went online in search of free sewing patterns.

Thanks to http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-make-a-child-sized-toolbelt/2010/02/23/

I made this little tool belt for B in 30 minutes.



The front has three pockets for his little tools and the side loop is for his hammer.

I tweaked the pattern a bit so there wouldn't be any stitches on the front except for the pockets.



I went to Target today and purchased a little tool set.



Awesomeness!!!!
