I made a couple of wrap skirts for two beautiful women. Unknown to each other but both are kind, funny and thoughtful. I loved sewing every stitch. Making something is so much more enjoyable when it is for someone else, I think.
I also stitched a pillowcase dress for my littlest love. It was one of those things I have been meaning to make since forever.
My big girl liked it and so I turned another thrifted pillowcase on it's side and made her a little top. She prefers converse boots and cut off jeans to mama made clothes but this one was a winner so I am pleased.
And last but not least, I salvaged this piece from my wip's box. I tried to make a skirt a long time ago but I cut the band all wrong and it didn't fit so it was tossed aside for another day. I attached the skirt to a singlet that I picked up at Cotton On so I guess I cheated a bit with this one but at least it's out of the wips box and in my cupboard. I feel like a big dork in these photos too but I am okay with that. Actually, I am hoping the thrifted macrame belt steals your attention away from the big dork!
Right then! I am off to make a cuppa and breathe. This silly post took me SO long. First I lost all my words and then I lost some of the pictures. And I almost lost my nerve!

You certainly don't look like a dork. You are lovely Lea.
I've not sewn for a couple of weeks now, the hot weather hasn't helped my motivation to sew either. I need to get back into it.

Not dorky at all - just 100% gorgeous x
Your are a dork! but I still love you. Love your dress and looks fantastic with the belt. Looks like you even have a fan blowing your hair in that third shot..lol
You don't look like a big dork at all. Although I did take note that I can't make the photos bigger by clicking on them - I think you did that on purpose. ;) The skirt/dress looks gorgeous! Clever you!
