My First attempt at making clothes

Since pinching my mams sewing machine about 3 weeks ago I had not used it but had wanted to attempt to make my nieces or the girls some little dresses.

I was sorting out some of my clothes which didn't fit me or  I didn't want anymore but could not part with them as I loved the fabric so I have a pile of clothes to cut up and reuse.

So this is what I made with the back of a top and the bottom of a vest top.

Its a dress for a 1 ish year old lol!

As this is my first attempt at any sort of clothes making I was pretty chuffed and Adam said it was good - praise indeed if he likes it. Wants to get me making clothes for him lol I said come on this is my first attempt and I don't think I'd ever get that good to make him clothes.

I am going to attempt a bigger one with the left over fabric. Its not costing me anything as I am recycling old clothes so practice makes perfect.

Any hints or tips anyone?? I need help lol

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated

1 Photo 2 Different Layouts

I had to scrap the same photos for both Darcy and Gypsy but since they are sisters I didn't want to to the same page for both.

So I used the same photo but made two different pages.

First Page

I used the back of another layout for the base of the page as I didn't want to waste it. The paper is from K&Co Urban Stack.

The teal polka dot is an envelope I got a birthday card in I loved it so kept it. All pink paper is scraps and I used a flower die in my Cuttlebug to make the flowers. Text is orange rub on and white peal off stickers.

Second Page

I used Kraft card stock for the base. Pattern paper in this layout came free with the Papercraft Inspirations magazine in Jan 2009 lol old yes I know! My nans friend send lots of old magazines around for me. But I found the link online where you can download and print them yourself. Font was a digital one which I printed and cut out. 

Free papers

There are lots and lots of freebies on this site so have a look :-)

I even got the sewing machine out and sewed hearts and some of the papers down. This is the first time I have sewed on paper and was pretty easy.

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated
