Sew Crafty Friday-Costumes
Shereen at Waiting for Him hosts Sew Crafty Friday. This week has been a very busy week. While the kids were doing their school assignments, I was working on costumes for the Fall Festival.

My son’s costume only took a few hours, but my daughter’s took three days. I had made … Continue reading

I made her this skirt a couple of weeks ago because she wanted something that flared out when she did spins. This was the first time I had made a circular skirt and I learned two things.
