Skirting Around

Some skirts made from pattern #: New Look 6843. All skirts were made in great light-weight fabrics (linen and cotton blends), perfect for summer. This New Look pattern is nice because its simple and comes with 5 different variations: long or short pencil skirt with darts, long or short a-line with darts, and a more flowy a-line option without darts.

Tote Time

These are 3 of the simple and fabulous totes made by students in the Sewing 1 class. They are easy to make and wonderful to give as gifts (or as the gift wrapping).

These are some baby pajamas that Caitlin made out of one of the many baby blankets she recieved at her shower (a fantastic form of fabric recycling). She did this without a pattern. Caitlin even made adorable buttons out of bits of yarn!

These are some aprons from Spark's Sewing 2 Class. Such fabulous color combinations! Every girl needs some ruffles in her life..

This is an Amy Butler pattern constructed by Emma with fabric from Sew-fisticated. Such a beautiful pattern, covered buttons in the back and a fabric rose that will go on the front.

Kristen's Dress

A beautiful dress Kristen made for one of her baby twins. She got the fantastic fabric at the Cambridge Quilt shop.
