First Craft Share!

So, I've had this one design in my head for several months now for a baby dress with a rounded yoke collar. Now, I don't have the pattern ready yet...as hubby has to teach me how to use the tablet feature on his laptop! But...I can at least share some of the pictures of Mary's new dress!

And I have to say that I'm absolutely in love with clothing snaps. If you've ever tried to button up a dress or shirt on a toddler then you know it's easier to wrestle an alligator! Whenever I put Mary in a dress that has buttons it feels like I've been working out for an hour after I've finally finished buttoning the last button. Simple solution to this problem are Snaps!


These can be found at Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Hancock Fabrics, etc. They come in the sew-on option or the option that requires a small tool and a hammer. I like using the one with the small tool and hammer because I don't have the patience to sew on these little things!

Anyway...

Here's a viewing of the new dress... and I promise I'll post a tutorial very soon!




Please forgive the crazy stitching on the collar! I had a toddler in my lap at the time!

I've decided with the next dress that I'll hide the snaps. I can't sew on a button because of how the snaps are designed, but I can encase the snaps within the fabric so that they will not show! I'll add that to the tutorial!

Welcome!

I've been putting off the creation of this new blog for some time now. My life has been so busy lately, especially with two toddlers! But as I've been told many times now that I should have an outlet for expressing my creativity. I'll be posting crafting projects, tutorials, and my craftastrophies that happen along the way.
