What? I Sew?

It's been so long since I have sewn that I kinda forgot that is what I used to do pre bento & MTM.  I bet most of you forgot too...lol A few weeks ago I was scanning Banberry Place (it's where I buy my patterns) and I started to become inspired again. So as usual I placed my order and in a few days they arrived..yippeee! 

This is the Farbenmix LisAnn. It has two versions of the skirt (one has a cute bag) but I decided to do the layered one first. I LOVE it! I have to say though that this pattern is in German so it took me awhile to translate and figure out how Farbenmix was doing the construction. The layers are not simply attached to the layer above it but there is actually a whole valance layer underneath each section. So once I figured that out the construction was more simple than I thought.

I'm Ready...I Think. Giveaway to Start Weds!

Okay so as much as I love the cold, I'm already sort of over it. I guess thinking of being in Southern California in 2 months is making me dream of the warmer weather. So on that note, I am doing my first Giveaway!!! The Giveaway will be posted this Weds and be open until Friday 1800 (EST). Friday night I will have C randomly pick a name from the bowl and will post the winner 1000 (EST) Saturday morning. It is open to all! So be sure to check back Weds for the Giveaway and more details.

Until then, I couldn't resist not making M the Anna dress too. I was not able to get to the store to look for fabric (like I really need more), so I went through my stash and I pulled out this cute Plaid Corduroy and a soft almost suede like green/gray to coordinate with it. Paired it with her jeans since it was cold and off we went.
