Cute as a jumper....

Here are photos I took today for YCMT showing my halter/tie-back dress as a jumper for the fall. Sienna was such a good sport considering the high today is 103! Fall won't come to the desert for a long time......




I just got some of the feedback from the YCMT testers and it was really positive so I am VERY happy today......and it gave me some energy to continue working on my other patterns. You never REALLY know what people think of a pattern until you get enough feedback from testers (especially anonymous ones).

"The directions were clean and produced an absolutely adorable, comfortable and very special outfit in no time at all. I didn't have to get any supplies and I've never seen anything like this before. I just love it."

"I love all the hints for sewing with knits. I consider myself to be pretty proficient at sewing.... and I even found some helpful hints in there. I love that! I also appreciate all the options. You can make the dress look totally different using the different options she made available in this ebook. You're getting a lot for your purchase."

"My mind is just reeling with all the possibilities for this pattern. I have old shirts from high school, college, cheerleading, and vacations. It will be so neat to make them into something for my girls."



On another note.....the poor frog might not make it through the day......


Sienna has put it through the ringer......


....and seems to find joy in torturing it. Where is the appreciation for this handmade toy?!

  1. I just LOVE that last picture where she was about to slam that poor frog down on the ground! Poor tortured frog (at least it provided some sort of entertainment!).

  7. Ok, I love your daughter's boots. Can I ask where you got them? My kids want to be superheros for Halloween and those boot would be a great addition plus they can use them later in the rain.
