Going off topic.

Cake decorating can get messy. I usually work in a pair of jeans and a tee shirt which will be coated in powdered sugar when I'm done. I haven't wore an apron since I was in junior high cooking class, but thought I'd give them a shot again. 
I also decided to make my apron.

I found some clearance fabric at Joann's and made this.

Meh. I don't really like it that much. It serves it's purpose, but I think I'm going to try making another.

The fabric was cute though. See, little wedding cakes.

Anyhow, Joann's is one of those places that I tend to get a little crazy and buy a bunch of stuff I didn't plan on buying. Like more fabric than I typically know what to do with. When I was there they had patterns on sale 5 for $1, of course I bought 5. I'm not sure when, or if, I'm actually going to use all of them, but it was such a good deal!

I did use one of them and some of the fabric I bought to make this pillowcase dress. 

Isn't it adorable?!?

It is even cuter on my 4 year old. I swear. Even though I don't have any picture of her in it. You'll just have to trust me.

But that's not all I did. Once I pull out my sewing machine I tend to get a lot of use out it. 
I had seen these cute art smocks online and decided to try one. Since I had also scored this Little Mermaid fabric on clearance.

Again, cute. Huh?

And even better than being cute, it was easy! So easy in fact, I had to make another.

For a boy this time, hence the cute bug print. I also covered the front with plastic to protect it.

I love this one.

I also made matching dresses for my girls, since my oldest was a little jealous that she didn't get a dress too.

I don't usually get them matching outfits, but honestly it was just easier to do them the same! And, the do really look cute in matching outfits- shh, don't tell anyone I said that.


Sewing machine is still out and I still have an abundance of fabric, maybe I should go make something else.
