My granddaughter came today and ran off in the little peasant dress I made her before I could get a photo. I asked my daughter to get a photo, so here it is.
She does love new dresses, but apparently didn’t like having her picture taken.
I don’t have the straps on the jumper yet. I’m waffling between some self-straps and some made of webbing or ribbon. The dress is a light orchid. The jumper is this beautiful wine plaid. They are both made from men’s shirts that came from Goodwill.
Here is the jumper so far.
Please excuse the wrinkles. I found it under the couch. Like I said, the grandkids were here. I think it needs some dark, wide grosgrain straps and maybe some little rosettes. Suggestions?

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful.
I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items.
Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle.
