Made by Me Monday – Dress to Kids Ombré Skirt {tutorial}
I've been wanting to try dying something ombré for a while - ever since seeing this post on No Big Dill. Since ombré is big for pretty well anything right now (hair, tops, dresses, shoes...) I figured I could turn a dress that I don't wear anymore into an ombré skirt...
Creativ Festival
I went to Creativ Festival last Friday afternoon with my (also loves sewing) friend Laura. I was really happy to find a place to shop for some fabric, too bad it only happens twice a year! I found out about the Festival because Karen from Fabric Spot mentioned she was...
