Sewing and Socks

Hello! I've been meaning to do another update, but I hadn't gotten pictures onto my computer, and kept forgetting! A few weeks ago I got into a sewing mood and decided to make another dress, it was a pretty chilly day and overcast, so it was PERFECT for sewing! I've done this pattern before and it's really easy, so they were no complications while making it, praise God for that because I really do not like when I have crafting complications, but who really does? =)



Some of the sewing process.... =D

   I really do like this dress pattern, I'm wanting to look for a new pattern now though, perhaps one with buttons or a zipper, just to try something new!

The finished product!

        I'm pretty new to sewing so I'll go through phases of wanting to sew a lot, doing things I already know how to do, and then phases when I feel like learning how to do something new....last week, I was in the mood for something new! So I took an apron pattern I got a few years ago and learned how to sew with bias tape around curved edges....it was actually my first attempt at bias tape in general! It was super fun!





I'm not sure how much I like this apron yet,
I guess I'll have to see.

        Right before I made the apron I was really wanting to make myself another pair of socks! So I did! I like this pair a lot better than my first pair, they fit better and just look nicer. I was able to finish them pretty quickly, it helped that there was one day my sister and I went over a friends house a worked on our crocheting/knitting, for several hours! =) It was icing that day and the day before that, I could not believe beautiful it made everything look, God's creation in general is beautiful, then He went and made it sparkle with ice crystals, it was a great sight to see, especially while crocheting!
    Working on my socks with other people was a lot fun, but of course... it's always fun to work on stuff with other people, it  can be very encouraging too!





I love my socks, they fit really well,which is a plus! =D

       Now I'm working on a table runner, and hope to have it done to post a picture soon! I've made a few other  things too, some baby socks and stuff like that, but don't have any pictures of them. For a little while I was only wanting to make socks, so I made all different sizes of baby socks because they work up so super quick! Working on baby things is always so enjoyable, baby stuff is so cute that it can't be anything but enjoyable
      Well I hope you enjoyed seeing a little of what I've been up to!
