Inspired

So my friend is down visiting her mom and they are sewing up a storm. Finding new ways to use old things and all that great stuff. I love that stuff!! I like to take something and make it what I want it to be. Some people are great at following patterns and love to create that way. I however don't love it. I have to make my own pattern and have fun. I am best friends with the seam ripper, I mean that it why someone created it in the first place. I figure that I am not making heirlooms or anything so as long as they last for the size that they are now good enough. So I was inspired by my good friend down the street that made this cute dress for her daughter out of scraps from quilts. Well, I have all but abandoned my quilt for quieter times. So I thought this seemed like a good project that could be down quickly and remind me that I find it relaxing. So today I set out to make A a skirt. It is so cute. My parents were here so I cheated a bit and made my mom help and my dad wrangled the kids. I want to try this shirt dress that I saw on-line too so we will see when I get to that...
