Very cute! I need to learn how to sew really bad.  Right now my sewing machine sits in my bedroom collecting dust :(

I think that I will have to leave sewing to the professionals, and to crafty people like you! I love these pics of you. You are strikingly beautiful.

Looks great! I still suck at making button holes. I never could get them right. But I can insert a mean zipper <3

Thank you for the kind comments! I realized the link to the cardigan tutorial was not working, so I'll post it here: http://blog.caseybrowndesigns.com/2009/12/how-to-refashion-a-cardigan/
I realized that using a sewing machine is like learning to use any tool (even learning how to drive a car), it just takes step-by-step practice and it becomes less intimidating. It also helps to understand how it works (generally, not specifically). Then it simply becomes an extension of your mind, just like a paint brush to an artist or pen to a writer.
@Laura--I think zippers would be harder than button holes! :)

super cute, I love that green pencil skirt! I leave the sewing to my husband and my eight year old, she is taking sewing classes right now
