Recent Projects (5/11/12)

Here I will post one of my recent projects.  I have been working on matching t-shirt dresses for some of the little sisters on the bonding trip.  I will also post pictures of some other t-shirt dresses I've made recently. 

 I am making two of these to match for a couple of little girls who are being adopted together.  

I made a ruffley little skirt and attached it to a shirt. My mom helped me applique a matching heart onto it.  

These are very cute outfits for some little girls who will be coming to live in America. 




Here are some of the other dresses that I did.

 This is one that I made for myself. I made it out of a t-shirt that didn't fit right and a skirt that didn't fit right to make a dress that does fit right. 

It is about knee length, and the long sleeve shirt is thick ribbing.  I think I will end up making a pair of leggings to go with the colorful, floral print.

 This one I made for Tessa.  She calls it her "Ice Cream Dress", for obvious reasons.  

The skirt of the dress is a circle skirt, so it is nice and twirly, which is attached to a pretty peach shirt, with an ice cream cone appliqued on to it.  

It is a super cute summer dress; Tessa has been begging to wear it all day!


Here are some things that I made for the girls at the orphanage.

This is about a 4T dress.  It has a square skirt, with another "Fake" layer attached
underneath.  I say "fake", because it looks like there is another layer underneath, when there really isn't.  But it gives a cute effect.  I sewed the skirt to a white t-shirt, onto which we appliqued little matching hearts.

 I made this one from a skirt and a tank top to fit one of the tall, skinny older girls.  I really  like how this one turned out.  It is very light and airy, and I have a certain little girl in mind to wear it.

These next two should fit my sister Yoldine  which is normally a size six.  These were actually a little girls sun dresses, sewn onto t-shirts.  This one was an orange and pink dress, with an orange, turquoise, and pink shirt. 

 This one was a pink dress, with a multi-colored, striped shirt. 

I have gotten a couple of generous donations recently.  I would like to thank all of you generous donors; your gifts will bless several little girls. 

We leave for Haiti again in 8 days, so I will post pictures of the girls in the dresses and skirts when we get back.
