Show and Tell-Liz&Meg

It's all Cramster's fault, really. It all started with a bag.  She sent me a pattern, I made it, and I fell in love.  And then I got good at the pattern, modified it and made it my own.  And started making bags for myself and friends and family.
I always liked sewing but mostly it was piecing quilt tops.  Not even quilting them, but just sewing the tops together.  I never thought I could do cute things like this.
So I kept making bags.
And then I realized that a cute twirly girl's skirt is really just a quilt top, gathered and put on a waistband.  It didn't have to be complicated.  
And that was when I fell in love with making skirts and jumpers and dresses for my girls.  Life got crazy so they still haven't gotten their Easter dresses yet... now they get summer dresses! :)
But this is my current passion.  And someday, I will return to scrapbooking, card making, stamping, crochet, and all those other crafty, artsy things I used to do!

  3. I love that I helped get you started. Look at how cute each of those pictures are!!! You are definitely creative. I can't wait to have little girls so I can make cute summer dresses - every dress I see on your blog is fab. I'll be emailing you for a pattern. (Don't hold your breath of course, the next one is a boy.)

  4. Love the skits, I've been thinking about venturing into that realm myself, so you may have just inspired me. So fun!
