I did manage time to finish my dress for the Shabby Apple design contest though. Did you see it? Would you wear it? I'm loving the style. Fingers crossed I'm a finalist but there are SO many talented designers out there I highly doubt it!
Now for some of my favorites from last week!

The Insa skirt by Living With Punks. Great version of this skirt!

It is Make It Wear It Thursday!! Do you sew or knit clothes or accessories? Make jewelry? Come join our community and link up what you make!
I'm back!! What a fabulous blog vacation I've had. It has been wonderful to fully focus on my family and the holidays! We had a nice, relaxing vacation at my parents' home for Christmas. If you're looking for a great vacation spot, I highly recommend their house. They'll get up early with the kids, hold your baby when you need a break, even babysit so you can get a night out. Lovely.
I have a little tradition of sewing my husband's Christmas present. It started 2 years ago when I sewed him a tie. He calls it his "Christmas Tie" because he'll only wear it on Christmas. Admittedly, the fabric is a bit feminine. Last year I made him pajama pants. They are still too long and after a whole year you'd think I could get around to hemming them more. He doesn't seem to mind and wears them all the time.
This year I made him a shirt to match his new little boy.
Here's a better look at little boy's outfit. Recognize the hat and boots?
Of course, they coordinated with all the girls' outfits (see here). I attempted some better photos of the outfit I entered into the Project Toddler Runway contest.
And this is the Somerset Hoodie I made. I added a bit of detail because I thought it was a bit too much plain red.
Enough about ME! What have you been making??
TWO RULES: Link to your blog post (not your store) and you had to make it to be worn.
Don't forget to head over to Shwin & Shwin and check out the Project Toddler Runway competition!
