Still Sewing...

Here are a few of the recent projects. It all became a little easier when the dress form arrived. I won't say, however, these would be defined as sewn 'well.' As expected, with every project I become better at some skill. Although these three items are for me, I like making people things as long as they're willing to wear them. Thanks to my mom (a long-time sewer) for keeping me in check with the technical aspects (yes, mom, the threads are trimmed and the seams are pressed open).

My niece's friend then wanted one that was "goth"...so this is my take. Thankfully, this didn't take as long as the first one.
