It is awesome to watch my beginning students really get bit by the sewing bug. Once they get comfortable operating a big, scary piece of machinery (aka a “sewing machine”), there is no stopping them.
One of my new students this fall has 3 grand-daughters, and she had a vision of what she wanted to make for the girls. I am pretty sure those girls are going to have a big surprise this Christmas-Grandma has been ver-r-r-y busy!
You can’t see from this view but this black polka-dot skirt has a rhinestone, sparkly exposed zipper on the back. And what about the rickrack trim? It really makes the skirt colors pop, doesn’t it?
I love the farm scenes on this print, and the brown lace edging is just right.
This one is so cheerful and bright – no one could have a bad day wearing this creation.
Two strawberry print skirts for sisters – just different enough and both adorable.
I love this pink print – so modern and fresh!
I love watching what happens when someone who already has a creative vision gains a few simple skills at a sewing machine – magic! How about you? What is going to be your inspiration this week? I’d love to hear about it!
Happy sewing,
Maris Olsen
