I am a mother of an 1 year 3 months old baby. I like sewing dresses for her. In this blog, I will showcase my sewing creations and share what I learn through my sewing experiences. I have another blog titled "<a href="http://www.florascolors.blogspot.com/">Flora's Colors</a>" which is about embroidery and drawing. <br /><br />I love flowers. I like embroidering flower patterns as well as making fabric flowers. Although I grew up with my mom who has almost 30 years of experience in sewing, I learned only the basics from her. However she helps me often to understand any tips and tricks. I developed (and still developing) my sewing skills from books and from my own experience. I have been doing embroidery from my childhood, but rarely do I sew. Recently, especially after my daughter's birth, sewing has become an obsession for me, and I am learning new techniques and experimenting with different patterns and creating my own patterns. <br /><br />I made this dress for my little girl two days ago. This is an A-line dress with two yo-yos attached on the front bodice.<br /><br />This is the front side of the dress:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkwpK001Epk/TVzjGTWXyVI/AAAAAAAAAlw/t4aktE4JQSA/s1600/A-line+yo-yo+dress_front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkwpK001Epk/TVzjGTWXyVI/AAAAAAAAAlw/t4aktE4JQSA/s320/A-line+yo-yo+dress_front.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Back of the dress:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--sOQPuO3hEg/TVzjN05DVJI/AAAAAAAAAl0/tcCPOlssvZ0/s1600/A-line+yo-yo+dress_back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--sOQPuO3hEg/TVzjN05DVJI/AAAAAAAAAl0/tcCPOlssvZ0/s320/A-line+yo-yo+dress_back.jpg" width="280" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Yo-Yos on the front bodice.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rkm0iPsqYvE/TVzjePd70DI/AAAAAAAAAl4/LtZqI_UZn5E/s1600/A-line+yo-yo+dress_close-up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rkm0iPsqYvE/TVzjePd70DI/AAAAAAAAAl4/LtZqI_UZn5E/s320/A-line+yo-yo+dress_close-up.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Hope you will enjoy reading this blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3654236806337614741-6422548377663022140?l=flowersandflounces.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aYqfYotnVMKO-yKYdWu6oQc81dg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aYqfYotnVMKO-yKYdWu6oQc81dg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aYqfYotnVMKO-yKYdWu6oQc81dg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aYqfYotnVMKO-yKYdWu6oQc81dg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FlowersAndFlounces/~4/K-n686cUC2c" height="1" width="1"/>Florahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17836989715340857264flora.flowers.boo@gmail.com0http://flowersandflounces.blogspot.com/2011/02/welcome-to-my-sewing-blog.html
