My first t-shirt quilt!

A neighbor/friend asked me if I knew of anyone or would want to try myself to make a t-shirt quilt from her daughter's t-shirts.  I had looked at some on etsy before and was excited to try to make one myself!  I love how it turned out, and I don't have any sentimental tie to the t-shirts!  This has definitely inspired me to save my kids t-shirts as they grow and make one for them!

 * This turned out to be a twin sized quilt

I found a fun fabric to put on the back:)

Does this inspire YOU?  Let me know if I can make one for YOU!  

Easter dress

I ordered dresses on zulily for the girls for Easter but as the Easter program date drew closer I realized I hadn't allowed enough time and they wouldn't be shipped in time.  So, I scoured some catalogs from a friend and found this dress from persnickety to make a knock-off. . . .

Mariah and I headed into Hobby Lobby to look for fabrics and came up with some blue-tones.  I had seen the white textured fabric I used on the top earlier and was so excited to have something to use it for!  Here is my version. . . .

And to give you a view of the bow fabric (the original catalog picture I saw had the bow in the back) I'll add this pic. . .

I obviously didn't take special pics for this post but thought I should share these dresses:)  I love how they turned out and ended up liking them better than the ones I ordered on zulily!  Inspiration strikes again:)
