where pretty meets practical...
You may have seen me mention a few times on Facebook that I am making my sister a silk suit for her next pageant. I got started on the muslin…well, ugly orange broadcloth if you want to get technical…this week and I love how it is turning out! Now that I’ve got the right fit, I am going to start cutting it out in the next couple of days. I can’t wait to get started! The neckline is my favorite part!! I share some more pics when I get more done. What do you think so far??

We watched the LSU game, mom & I drank beer. Sophie had Dr. Pepper. Sophie and Mom colored pics of Spiderman during half time, and since I have to keep my hands busy at all times, I made Sophie a Halloween headband using Fancy Schmancy’s Eva pattern, and wrapped some headbands for the other flowers I had already made. Then, yesterday Adriana (my youngest sister) came over and I asked her to take some pics of Sophie in the headbands while I worked on the silk suit for her upcoming pageant. [...]

I'm April, author of Wildflowers + Whimsy, and I'm a compulsive DIY-er. Sewing, crafting, building, painting...It really doesn't matter. If there's a chance I can do it myself, you can bet I'm going to try...and then, blog about it here of course.

Ok, do you like the orange or hate it?! LOL I love it! I also like the taper over the hips (I have no idea what to call that). It’s very flattering!
I love it so far!!! And she works the “ugly orange” – she would totally rock that if it was a shirt, or even a dress.
