Pretty pretty! 

Nice, I like it. 

Very pretty, you have a great talent! 

Love the skirt. Give us piccies of the yoga pants. I wouldn't even consider sewing spandex. Polyester used to make me nuts trying to keep it flat and not stretched out on one side or the other. 

So cute, summery and feminine! 

Nice work! So productive--my sewing always seems to drag on and on. :) I love the fabric you chose for the skirt. 

Are you making jeans??? I love the fabric in the skirt! Sorry am a fabriaholic quilter. Your tops and skirts are cute.  

Really nice work! 

Well thanks all, all I see are crooked hems lol. I love the vintage patterns out now, they are much more flattering than the stuff the big four make. I am making some jean wrap skirts next and I was thinking to do a pair of jeans. A custom pair would be nice. They are not so hard just lots of steps. I still have to do the boys back to school pants. Darn skinny kids with long legs, nothing fits them either. I stink at quilting WFN, never could line the blocks up right lol. But I must have been a quilter in another life, you should see the stash I have going. 

LOL Nichol, you just need the right rulers, a mat, and the right rotary cutter not scissors. I have 2 floor to ceiling book shelves full and a closet full of yardage on hangers. 5 or 6 rolls of batting, and probably 500 cones of thread and another couple hundred spools. I best get busy again.. well my house and exercise are the priorities. Once my house is done it will again be quilting and exercise when I can't be outside.  

I have set the precedent of making quilts for my nephews when they graduate from college. I have finished and presented the first two successfully. My niece is just entering her senior year, so I have to get rolling on hers. I promised my daughter we would make a skirt for her together, although she seems to prefer Minecraft to sewing lessons the past few days. :) 

Izzy, that's a project that can take awhile. I have my DD's and grandchildren saving T-shirts from sports etc. to make the grand kids tshirt quilts eventually. I need to get one made for my newest grandson, he does not have one yet. I'm guessing mincraft is a game?  

The skirt is super pretty. My mom had 2 of those one in brown and one in black. The white top is a beauty also.  

Wow you have skills :) Cute clothes  

all very pretty 

I struggle to sew on a button. 

NM. I HATE sewing on buttons.. LOL 

WoW! Great Talent! 

Clever girl! I'm more into altering things, which reminds me ... 

Oh shucks! I feel like I'm missing out.... I cannot see the pictures :(
