Girls are so Fun....

I have been dieing to make a dress for Ava and here is what I came up with. I got the idea from Dana on her blog MADE .  This was her Andy Warhol inspiration.  I love Dana's creations because she takes used clothes, bags, scrapes of fabric etc. and makes something completely different out of them.  Something I personally love to do.   This rose dress was made from my husbands old t-shirt and some fabric scrapes I had.  It was super fun and easy because I just did a little measuring and starting sewing.  To be honest I would rather not use a pattern for most things, it's probably because I am to impatient and I like to just get started on a project.  Also, I like to make things up as I go along it makes it more exciting. This dress does have many imperfections because I rushed through it between naps and feeding the kidos, but thats okay because I wanted to get an idea of what it would take to make a dress and to gain a little experience.  There are many things I will do differently on the next one to improve the quality.  


It was so fun and easy and it didn't cost me a dime, I had all the materials at my home already.  Now she has a dress for our party on saturday. Yipee!! 


If you are bored with your shirts, dresses, pair of pants, or anything really try making it into something else and let your imagination grow.   
p.s. send my pictures of your projects I would love to see them.  

I have been very busy lately making stuff for little girls.  I just finished a ruffled duvet for my friends new baby coming in October.  I got my inspiration from the tuxedo duvet sold at Anthropologie.   One of my favorite stores :). I plan on making another version of this for my daughter's room.  This I would not have been able to complete without my friend and amazing seamstress Monica Lopez.  Look her up on Facebook for all your  seamstress needs or questions. 

Have fun CREATING something new!
