New Obsession

I recently purchased a new sewing machine. I did a little upgrade from the one that I had previously been using. I hadn't sewed in a while, but yesterday I got the machine all set up and did a few test strips with Lucy. Then the sewing bug bit me. Last night I was laying in bed, thinking about all of the kids clothes that I see in boutiques that are soooo cute. I always think, 'I could make that'. Well, last night I thought of a design and I gave it a try today.

I started with an old stained t-shirt of Lucy's. I used some left over fabric and a few remnants that I bought today at the fabric store.

I cut 'petals' and pinned and sewed them on one by one.
Then I added some twisted green ribbon.
I also sewed on some fabric button flowers for the middle. My new machine even sews buttons!!!
Here is the finished shirt!

I absolutely love it.
I'll try to get a pic of Lucy wearing it tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more cute kid's clothes.


I'm linking up! This shirt inspired me to create many more. Maybe it will get you sewing too!
