Here is my sweet mom. She has always shown me her love by:(only a few of many ways)
Sewing my clothes- including dance dresses and my wedding dress
Taking care of me when I was sick- tv in my room, bubble up, clean sheets
Making special dinners when my dad would travel
Offer advice
Keep positive
Always give me her time to talk
Love you, mom! Xo

Vintage May/Me-Made May

Vintage May, thats what's going on over at Craftiness is not Optional and Skirt as Top. Not to mention the me-made May sewing groups too. Well, I've acquired a bunch of vintage patterns I want to sew up for this little one, so it's a perfect time to do it!

First off sorry about the photos, they were taken with my phone. This skirt was inspired by the 1930s/1940s that I love so much. I used vintage pattern Simplicity 6120, a 1973 a-line skirt pattern.

After seeing this misses skirt from A Fashionable Stitch I knew I had to add those same pockets to RJ's skirt. I'm so glad I did they turned out so cute!

She is wearing her Grandma Janin's sweater that was made for her when she was this age - an all around vintage outfit.
