Rane's Birthday Dress

made from knit yardage and a mash-up of different patterns with too many modifications to be recognizable; one of my favorite creations thus far

Twirl Skirts for Chessa Jean and Zipporah

made from yardage and LBB Twirl Skirt pattern (much better than my own); found transfers I made 2 years ago, and they yellowed slightly when ironed

Birthday Dress for Katy

made from recycled knits and yardage; modified LBB Hoodie to make a racerback pattern and left off arms; same issue with the main piece gathering when I attach a gathered or ruffled piece to it (very frustrating)

***have since figured out to loosen presser foot pressure to eliminate waves and gathers...AWESOME***

Skirts for Zipporah's Birthday

Market Skirt and cotton shirting; side note: Kona cotton rocks

Muggle Dresses for the Girls

LBB Sienna, upcycled $3 t-shirts, and knit yardage

Twirl Dresses for the Girls

modified LBB Sienna to give a twirl skirt; added too much width to the bottom, so it falls asymmetrically; next time, I won't widen the bodice to match up with the twirl

Romper for Hannah

pattern testing for Whimsy Couture; easiest thing I've sewn yet

Twirl Skirts for the Girls

from own pattern; added ruffle to hide unfinished hem; had issues attaching ruffle (skirt kept gathering under the ruffle)
