Got your attention, didn't I? Well, truth is, I've been having a bit of an affair. Some of you may know, as I've mentioned it from time to time, I have taken up sewing recently. Scrapbooking is no longer my only love, although it will always be my first! ;) I also have been dabbling in some off the page projects. Thanks to this wonderful thing we call the internet, and an even more wonderful thing called Pinterest, I am continuously feeling this overwhelming urge to create!!! I have a bucket list of projects a mile long, and only so much time!
Sewing is something I have wanted to learn for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to just jump in and figure it out!! I have made a couple of quilts, and a couple of dresses, and I am so proud of myself! It's still very challenging for me, and it doesn't come easy to me the way scrapbooking did, but I'm loving the challenge, and the awesome feeling I get once I've created something beautiful.
I will first show you a layout I made, with photos of Lilah in the very first dress I made. I used the sketch over at ScrapFIT for inspiration. Keep scrolling down after the layout and I have few more goodies to show you!
I used scraps of fabric, thread, and ribbon from the dress to make the colors match perfectly!
Here's a the dress I finished last night, for Lilah's 2nd Birthday party. I am really happy with this one! I used a pattern for the first time, if you're interested, you can find it here at HaileyBug'sCloset on Etsy.
...and (gasp!) even a a couple of cards!! Yes, I'm doing something I never thought I'd do, and loving it!
Thanks for enduring my suuuuppper long post, have a great day!!!

Congrats to you and Erin on your OUAS DT
All amazing, beautiful goodies! You are talented!
Kelly, those dresses are so colorful and cute! I love those fabrics you've chosen and all your projects are just wonderful!
Love the dresses. I too have been having an affair with sewing, not with as much success as you and I come from a family of professional dress makers, lol. I bought a cheap sewing machine to use for scrapping, but it keeps calling out to sew fabric, what could I do?
WOW!!!!
You are super talented girl! Sewing is something that I would LOVE to learn. My mom used to sew all our dresses (me and my 4 sisters) when I was little. It's all so lovely.
There are so many sweet details on your layout. It's fantastic!!
Cheers!
Always enjoy coming by to see what is new from you. Love the layout and how you incorporated the fabric! The boldness of the colors are prefect and Lilah looks adorable in her dress!! So thrilled for you and Erin making the DT at OUAS! Gorgeous card and wall hanging. Can't wait to see what else you create1!!
You're really a talented person! I love your LO. What a great idea to use fabric from the dress!
And your dresses are beautiful! You make me feel like trying to sew something else than curtains!
well your scrapping is always gorgeous, but those dresses! WOW so cute! and i think you may have found your second calling!!! keep up the inspiration!!
I think your Mojo is overflowing lately. Love the dresses & your cards are very pretty. I did get my desk cleaned off today so I should be creating pretty soon. Thank you to you & Erin also for the sweet comments on my blog.
Kelly you are AMAZING I love your LOs (as always) and your dresses are exquisite. Wow, wow, wow, project runway in the future maybe???.
look at you..having a hidden talent! the dresses are just beautiful! love the use of the dress fabric on this gorgeous page!
Gorgeous work...lovely that you're finding LOTS of creative outlets...& sewing is sooo practical & gives such pleasure to those you make for:):):)
Just love how you used the fabric and flowers in your page and the dresses are just beautiful. How clever are you. And all of your creations are fabulous. I don't know how you find the time. Super talented.
Kelly, so glad you're learning to sew. I have sewn for more than 50 years and have loved sewing especially for little girls and making formal gowns (think wedding) for family members. I really love the pink/green sundress you've made for Lilah. I wonder how it would have been to have had the internet, Pinterest, blogs, etc. when I was learning to sew.
Wow, Kelly, you have been a busy girl making all these fabulous projects. I love that you used elements from your sewing project on your page. (I like to sew and have done this before too. :-) Fabulous page and dresses!! Thanks for working out with us at ScrapFIT! ~ Blessings

Kelly...WOW! You never cease to amaze me. That has to be one of my all-time favorite layouts of yours...I absolutely adore it. Love how you used fabric from the dress on the page! Genius! I just love everything about it. And your dresses are awesome...I wish I could sew. Your girls will have some adorable dresses to wear!
That layout is A-MAZ-ING Kelly!! I love that you added some scraps of fabric from the dress!! Totally makes the page!! Your sewing projects are awesome!! I can barely sew on a button, but you are totally rockin' it! Great job on all of your projects!
Kelly, I am so impressed with the dresses you've made, I tried that when Analise was little, I thought if I can do quilts, I can do a dress, complete disaster!!! under the arms was a mess, omg the whole thing really bad, yours are great! the cards are so pretty, isn't it fun to make something small when you don't have a lot of time but want to create, and your layout, just fab!!
Love all your projects, Kelly! That layout is just adorable. I love the bright colors along with the doodled looking frames! :) Your cards just make me happy. I'm sure the recipients will love them. LOVE your dresses too! That pattern is adorable... can't wait till I have my own little girls to sew for! ;)
