Christmas Sewing Projects

I told you before that I have been busy sewing away. Well, now that Christmas is over, I can reveal what I did!
I made this skirt for Jason's mom. I was really worried that it would be too small because I had to alter the pattern and make more seams than it called for. However, it fits perfect and looks darling too! It looks a little funny on the hanger, but you get the idea.
This skirt was made for my mom. I had a lime green top she has in mind when I chose the fabric. However, I lucked out even more when she told me she has a blue blouse that looks like it was made to go with the skirt! I guess I was inspired because I had no idea! I liked this pattern so much, I think another one for me will be in the works soon. My sisters claim they want one too!
For the 49er fan in my life, I made a couple things. This is a picture of a neck pillow and pillow case. My grandmother gave me a neck pillow a long time ago that I just love! Well, Jason loves it too and it always trying to swipe it from me. So, since my confidence in sewing has increased, I decided I could just make him one out of the leftover fabric from the next project pictured.
He asked me to make him some lounge pants. My sister Monica and I decided to sew matching ones for our husbands on the sly. They look HUGE in this picture (and they actually are a little big), but bigger is better than smaller when it comes to lounge pants.
Then not pictured in this post but in a few before are the princess dresses for my girls and, of course, the playhouse. See, I told you I've been busy!
