It’s a change-up

I’m completely ready for spring….and completely over winter.

I was looking at my pinterest challenge board, and trying to figure out why I would have chosen to work on a sweatshirt.  I’m definitely over wearing sweatshirts.

So I am going to do a swap.  I have a wedding coming up in May and I would like to make a dress similar to this one.

Using a bridesmaid dress I wore a couple years ago.

So no more sweatshirt.

I’ve also been thinking about Easter coming up…and how I would like to try and make Easter clothes for the kids.

Maybe a bowtie for Oliver using this tutorial.  Bow Tie Tutorial - A Lemon Squeezy Home

And I love the simple lines of this dress…which I really think I could put together without a pattern for Bella.

For myself…I really love this skirt.  But I’m thinking it’s not really Easter appropriate.

So I’m leaning towards making something similar to this.

I can wear a cardigan with it for church, and then it would be a great dress to have for the summer!

That is a lot of ambitious plans to finish in the next couple of weeks.  I will be happy if I finish half of them!

  2. I love that dress, and would love to see how it turns out! I really liked the sweatshirt too, too bad you swapped it out, but oh well; it IS almost spring after all!

    What was the link to that sweatshirt? I can't find it, but I'm thinking maybe I'll try to make it soon :)

    1. It's still 30 degrees where I live, so I'm thinking I should have just attempted it...but like I said, I'm looking forward to spring! Here is the link, but it's sold out.
