Dress redo challenge 1 of 5 Pink floral dress

 New Hobby Challenge I've fallen in love with a new sewing challenge. A few months ago, I wanted a few new outfits for a class I was taking. At first I wanted to go to the fabric store but since I already have a pile of fabric just sitting I didnt want to spend too much money plus I new that even just a few yards would cost me around $30 an outfit, so instead i checked out a local discount store and they had some beautiful clothes marked down to just $10, yes some we not my size nor style but I saw potential in the fabric. Each post will feature the before and after, so stay tuned. I don't know how each will turn out until they are done.  Before... This one-shoulder number was definitely not my style, but the fabric was a good weight, and the color was oh so perfect. I also found this blouse for just $3.00 with this beautiful embroidery. I knew these were meant to be together.  During... I found a vintage pattern from my Mom ( Simplicity 5500 ) that I've used before. The ...

3X Small Crochet Dog Sweater Pattern for Micro Teacup and Tiny Pets Free PDF Download

Crochet Pattern for a 3X Small Dog Sweater History You, don't know how many of these I've made over the years. I've had the pattern in my head for the longest time and I especially like to see people watch me when I have to wait for appointments and I can go from a ball of yarn to a tiny small sweater before my name gets called. Usually, people then ask me what I'm making. I've also had young girls want to learn to crochet after they see what can be made, that's why I've been wanting to write this pattern down to share.  It would be especially cute to make a few of these for your pretend toy dogs, I know they make some that go with many dolls that I think are just adorable.  Also, I've always thought a nice gift for someone living in a small space that doesn't have room for a real pet anymore would be to buy them a small toy animal and give them different sweaters and their own little wardrobe.  Patterns As promised I'm listing the pattern for my...

   I must be getting old! (or I've always been) Because even though I love the whole youtube movement where we can practically learn anything just by watching a video, I still like following a crochet pattern.     I've been questioned by my friends: how do you read one? it doesn't make sense. And it got me thinking, that I couldn't always read crochet patterns, I needed someone to help me.  Free PDF Printable below! How to read a crochet pattern printable guide, page 1 Image Preview    Thankfully I had my mother to help me from an early age. She never sat down without her fingers wrapped around a crochet hook and it's been said by ones who knew that my little baby fingers would imitate her hand movements as I watched her. I do remember growing up and always seeing her with a paper in her lap that she was reading. As I learned how to read regular writing I would start to pick these papers up and wonder: What is this? Some secret code, a mystery lan...
