Sewing Project #7: Easter Skirt

For Christmas, I received a sewing tote with scissors, pins, a rotary cutter, and a skirt pattern. I really like the pattern, and I decided to make it for Easter. I finished the skirt at around 2am Easter morning, and I am quite happy with the results! I especially like that it has pockets.

Now I need to make a dress. Anyone have any good patterns? I saw a good one at Scrapbooks Etc. yesterday, but I didn't want to pay $12 for a pattern.

Sewing Project #2: Decorative Pillowcase

I found some cute fabric at the fabric store which I purchased to match my bedsheets. Here's a tip of advice: the color of something in your head isn't always accurate. So, the pillow doesn't match, but oh well! It's cute. Plus, it worked quite well as a sleeping pillow on the airplane. Even though it's supposed to be a decorative pillow, I don't care. It's my new airplane pillow. I finished sewing the buttons while flying on an airplane, so it fits.


I made this pillow with the fancy Bernina machine at the store. I think I like my machine better than the bernina, except that my machine isn't heavy duty. I guess I'll have to save the heavy fabrics for a more heavy duty machine. The pillow is complete with a center focus fabric surrounded by a border, and the back has both fabrics with buttons to connect them. Plus, I discovered a neat furniture store with cheap pillows (without the case).
