Yellow and Black Flowers on White Easter dresses

I made couple dresses again today. I used the same pattern from the previous sewing post. I used simplicity 2432 and the pattern the I made from my daughter old dress.

I used the pattern that I made with this dress.

 Simplicity 2432 and modified the front bodice. I added ruffles in the middle area for change a little bit.

She loves it but she said she need a pocket too :)

Old Town Scottsdale

It was a beautiful day today. My friend Melody and I went strolling around the Old Town Scottsdale. It's been awhile since the last time I visited this place and thank God that I had a chance to come back again. Thanks to Melody because she grew up in this place, and became my tour guide. I had a great time with her company.

 looking good Nurse M.

SPRING DRESS 2

Make sure you visit Alida's website and check all the cool stuff that she have today. I am joining her new series of Calling all Kids link party.

I made another dress for my youngest daughter. I used the same fabric from this post. I just want both of my girl have matching dresses but not the same designs. I just don't know what to call this dress. I made the pattern from my daughter's old dress that was given to her by her Aunt.

I took me forever to make this since I don't know what to do with a limited fabric. Plus I was praying that this dress size will be just her size. I made so many dresses for my girls and when I finished it never fit for them because I did not add an allowance when I cut it. So, It was either too short or too narrow and won't fit.

 Anyway, she loves it!

I add some pockets. I love the ruffles.

 I didn't realized that my daughter is taller than I thought. I thought I add more allowance at the bottom of her dress. Well, I still can add it later though.

 This is the dress that I made the pattern from. This dress now is too short on her.

Love the outcome!

Have a great one everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Spring dress

Pattern I used is Simplicity 2432

I modified it a little bit since I don't know how to read patterns.

 It should have ribbon on the front bodice .

 Well with ribbon or not she still loves it.

Beautiful Quilting Fabrics

Look at these quilting fabrics that I got yesterday. Aren't they gorgeous?

I've been admiring these colors every time I go to the sewing aisle. I cannot afford to buy any of these fabrics because it cost too much! But yesterday as I was walking towards to the cashier at Walmart I spotted the clearance cart. And these babies are in there. You bet I bought everything that was in that cart. The regular price for these are about $10 to $11. But yesterday it was almost 98% on sale. I payed $8 for all of these gorgeous fabrics.

Good deal isn't it?

 Now I can sew something for Spring!

 How lovely!

Sometimes patient pays off!
