Sewing challenge

So I have been MIA for a little while. I understand if no one wants to read anymore. Haha. I try so hard to commit to posting and then I get busy and forget. Anyway here is some of the rest of the stuff I made in the challenge. I definitely finished and made a ton of cute stuff. In fact I made so much that I am saving some to post for a later date.
Here is what I still have to learn---
Everything in sewing is backwards. When I start to get better at this, I always have a day where I forget and it is failure all over again.
I also learned that following a pattern isn't as hard as it used to be for me. I am getting better. I am also taking more risks which is always a good thing. I am usually a risk taker but with sewing, I tend to play it safe. Not anymore!
Here is so pics of some things I made. I have others that I either will show later or I don't want to show because they didn't turn out the way I planned.


These for example--the mother/daughter toile pattern is upside down but at least ella can tell what they are doing. haha.


I learned how to embroider. I embroidered a bird and 2 buttons onto a shirt for ella.


Made the pants. They are 18 months for the fall.




Here are 3 others I made. The black ones have candy corns on them.


This outfit I made with 2 patterns that complimented one another. The applique top I sewed on to a walmart shirt. 3.50 for all their long sleeved shirts. Can't beat that. Online you can buy them in a two pack. They fit great and are really soft.



It took a lot of takes, but I got a few out of her.




ella loves being naked. She would prefer to not wear clothes at all.


Can't wait to finish some other projects I am working on.
