Sewing Projects

Sewing projects have saved me!  I've engaged in several projects to get my mind of our current legal problems and bankruptcy.  Thank heavens I can turn to something constructive.  Others may drink away their problems, but I just SEW!  Here's what I've done so far this year:

Hooded towel I made for Miss Beverly's
baby boy, Tyson Kerr.
Miss Beverly is the girls' dance instructor.
Kilt, sash, & hat made for my brother, Maurice
Don is such a great model!

These dresses weren't made by me, but I did rip out the old nonfunctional zippers
 and replaced them with new ones so that Rachelle & Kristen could wear them
before the warm weather came.

I made a matching bedskirt for Marlyse's twin bed on the left. 
Now we can hide all that food storage in style!


                               
Here are the tablecloth overlays that I made for the Duncan RS Birthday Fiesta in March. 
We were able to reuse all the decorations from the Three Fountains Ward Fiesta in February.  It turned out great!

Kristen is modeling the dress I made for my niece, Brooke. 
We sent it in the mail all the way to Kingston, WA
for an Easter surprise.  Kristen wanted it for herself, but
when I told her that Brooke didn't have any princess
dresses, she was happy to give it to her!
Here are the Larson women on Easter Sunday
 wearing matching skirts that I made.  There was
just enough fabric for each of us, plus the cute
little flower pins on each of the girls' shirts.  We'll
have to do another photo shoot--this picture has
a palm tree growing out of my head!
