I said the other day that I needed a new hobby. Well instead of a new hobby, I decided to work on an old hobby, or an old project at least. Last year a friend of mine gave me a bunch of fabric and a pattern for a quilt. I have quilted some before, but nothing like this. I decided to make it for another friend for Christmas. I finished the top within a reasonable amount of time, then gave it to a neighbor to quilt together in time for Christmas. Well I didn't get it back for a number of months, then when I did, I didn't want to work on it (I no longer had the Christmas deadline). So it sat. I finally got it out this week and finally finished it, and man does it look awesome. Merry Christmas Lacey.

Then a friend (the same friend that gave me the fabric for the quilt), Nicole asked me to help with a couple other projects. Her daughter had a skirt that was a little too short, and she needed some help making some pioneer clothes for their upcoming trek. Here is what I did.
Here is the skirt with the fabric to be added.

Here is the pioneer skirt, apron, and bonnet.

Then after sewing these few projects I hemmed a pair of slacks for another neighbor and fixed a dress for a friend. I really need to make this a little side business and earn a few extra bucks. Anyone have any mending or sewing projects they need done?
