So many projects!

Since the arrival of my fancy new sewing machine is set for sometime between Thursday and next Tuesday, I am filling my free time dreaming up fabulous ideas and taking trips to the fabric store. Since my initial fabric store visit at the cat motel, I've found a much cheaper, cleaner place called "Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts." It's a chain store, which some people frown upon, but let's face it, I'm a Dollar Store, Walmart lovin', discount-finding kind of gal. I find no shame in seeking a deal. And deals I've found at good 'ol Jo-Ann's! 

If you read my previous post, it set the stage for project #1: a navy blue monogrammed pillow. Now I'll introduce projects 2 and 3. Since sweet Lil' Shug is my ultimate inspiration for this new found lifestyle as a seamstress, I'll dedicate these two projects to her. #2 a purple and orange Clemson themed pillowcase dress, and #3 and hot pink and purple pillowcase dress or jumper. If you've never seen one of these sweet dresses, here's an example: 

Cute, huh? Hopefully mine will turn out! Can't have my little diva looking like a scrub! Below is the fabric, thread, bias tape, and ribbon I need for the dresses, along with some other embroidery thread for monogramming various future projects. I can't wait to begin!!

P.S. Don't you love how I threw out "bias tape" like I actually know what it does yet! Haha YES!
