Freeform Slippers Complete

I finished the freeform slippers for my stepdaughter on Christmas Eve, just in time to wrap them up and put under the tree. I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

My stepdaugher loves them and has been wearing them constantly!

Now I have to make a pair for myself!

Freeform Slipper Progress

I've finished the freeform for one of the slippers I'm making for my stepdaughter for Christmas. Now I just have to sew it to the slipper. The mesh makes it easy to sew the scrumble to. This only took me a couple hours at the most to complete, so the freeform for the other slipper should make up quite quickly.

Deconstructed Denim Skirt

I finally finished the skirt I was making for my stepdaughter for Christmas. I started with a pair of thrift store jeans, a yard of fabric, and some eyelet trim. I followed part of the instructions from this pattern on the Simplicity website. Instead of attaching two ruffle layers to the jean yoke, I cut one layer 1.5 times the size of the yoke bottom and cut the second layer 1.5 times the size of the first ruffle layer. I attached the eyelet trim to the bottom of the second layer and topstiched it with a decorative stitch. I then gathered both layers after using a basting stitch on the tops of them. I attached the first layer to the yoke bottom and the second layer to the first bottom. All in all, it was a relatively quick and easy project. Someday I'll make one for myself, too!
