Jordys new fun dress



Just a quick post today. I do intend to get better and more often. One of my 16 year old grand daughters was here to visit and spend some time with me for a few days. She sure has been alot of help with the great grandsons! Swimming with Avory while the baby naps and Gram rests. Love her so much. She is so beautiful I just had to make her something. She inspires me to sew because she loves clothes and is so easy to sew for. I had a yard of the ruffled fabric from Hobby Lobby and an idea from Pinterest so look at how it turned out!.
She has white cowboy boots (at home)she is anxious to try with it.


 She looks so cute in just everything.

My Favorite Store ( www.fabricrecycles.com)

I had a few minutes today when I returned the rented carpet shampoo machine that has kept me busy this weekend. I was just down the street from a really cool store  called "Fabric Recycles" we have here in Overland Park . Website is www.fabricrecycles.com. It is owned and operated by a young lady named Page Burns.
Take your ufos and excess fabrics, notions, patterns that you have in the back of the closet,  in to the store and she will look it over for items she needs and will give you cash or store credit for your stuff.
She also has a beautiful selection of yarn.  I am so glad she is in my neighborhood! What a great shopping opportunity for those of us that operate on a tight budget. She has a lot of fabric as well. I love to check out the ufo table for quick projects that are reasonably priced.
Page also offers a good variety of classes.
All you sewers and crafters out there do your selves a favor and stop by for a lookee-see.
