Sewing in a Clean Sewing Room.. & A Wrap Dress in Progress

What do you do , when the sewing room
is in a total mess? You quit sewing, and
just think about  how much you need a
good spring cleaning!!  Then finally ....
one day, you do it!!!!

How nice it was to fold  each and every piece
of fabric.. I found stuff, I didn't know I had.ha

Love these blue wicker baskets. [found them a
local Dirt Cheap store for a round $3 a peice..]
Not only did I clean this book shelf, I organized
my sewing tools , accessories in the baskets, and
tagged the baskets with what was inside..[so,
I would be able to find stuff,ha]

 These 3  photos are of the wall cabinets, over my cutting table.

How nice to be able to see my cutting table..

My little sewing corner!!

Since getting my sewing room cleaned and organized,  I have
been sewing.. I finished the twins dresses [I posted about in last post]. Will share photos ,when I get some.. Will probably see them during spring break? I am now working on an Olivia Walton Wrap Dress.. [will be posting soon].  [It is now in Eva Girl's Etsy Shop, YEA..-I will posting about that ,and the link real soon.]

Must tell you what my "sweet" hubby said about this big cleaning 
job. I had pulled all the fabric off the shelves and out of the cabinets.. and it was a Big mess.. he said," Oh Lord!!  I wouldn't
do that..." I ask why? "Because, you will just go in there and mess it up again! Why do all that work?"   Now...what do you say to that?
 I think I  "may have" threw a bag of cotton or something at him.ha
But.. I really knew............. He was telling the truth.hahaha

New post of my dress and the girls dresses soon......

Another Olivia Walton 'Look Alike" Wrap Dress

Wrap Dress...

Here is another Olivia Walton --- Look alike dress.
 The fabric is  a pretty teal blue with pretty flowers..
And I used fabric from my stash.. I am trying
"really hard" , to do that!!

This is not the fabric that Olivia's dresses would have
been made from.. But, I love the colorful fabric.And
bet if it would have been available to her, she would
have liked it too.ha

I love this style dress , it is really comfortable and
easy to wear.

I actually made this dress a month or so ago.. And just never
got around to posting about it.

Check out this blog post, to see a better photo of this fabric.The
bottom photo is the fabric that I used.. I had posted a  different
pattern to use , but it didn't happen.. the wrap dress was
chosen over the other patterns.

Thank you Eva Girl, for all your inspiration and help with
this pattern..

Wrap Dress FInished - Navy/lt blue floral

My version of  Olivia Walton's wrap dress. Made from
a  navy and light blue floral fabric. Has white collar
with light blue stitching around it.. [Sorry ,for the bad
photos.. My camera is about gone[sad].

My light blue cardigan , that I found at the thrift store
last year, is just perfect.

Close up of fabric.  This is the best fit of any of the
Olivia Wrap dresses, I have made. The neckline
is modest .The skirt has plenty of room to cross over. I
would like to thank  Eva  for all her help and
inspiration. Please check out her blog to see the
adorable Olivia Walton dresses , she has created.

Olivia Walton's Green hectagon wrap dress. I love
this fabric.. But, I couldn't find anything similar to it.
But, I will keep on looking.. Now, that the dress
is fitting so well, I will be making more of them.
It is the most comfortable dress, for church or
working around the house.. Just perfect!!!

Olivia Walton's Dresses..[I have one in progress}

I just love Olivia's Dresses.. Here she sits with JohnBoy
in this shirtwaist dress.It is a black and white ,what I
call a domino fabric.[looks like dominoes all over]. I love
this fabric, and wish I could find the very one.

favorite ones. They are so pretty and so flattering
and comfortable to wear.
