Today I am working on making lots of American Girl Doll Dresses for my show on saturday.
I also got into a project covering a metal tray with fabric scraps. Thought this would make a nice display piece. Its in the works. Too many scraps to choose from.

Cute T-shirt
Looking for some way to dress up a t-shirt? Why not personalized it. I appliqued this shirt along with spelling out the name to add a little extra to the shirt. Add some jean ruffle capris too. What a great birthday gift for little money.

Cute tutorial to make your own reversible dress
Check out this blog for the tutorial on how to make a reversible dress out of a regular a-line dress pattern. Seems simple enough. I like getting 2 dresses for the price of one. Plus if you get one messy, just flip it to the other side.
