For the last few weeks I have been working on a few projects. Most of the projects are for my vacation and a birthday costume for my nephew. I going to Atlanta tomorrow to visit my mom and my sisters for two birthdays, a graduation, and just fun family time.
Last month my mom called me and told me her plans for her birthday, she want to go to the Renaissance Festival. I love a Renaissance Festival so I was excited, then she asked if I could make something for her to wear. Now she didn't want a whole costume so that was good. I also made two new dresses to wear, one that will be great for my nephew's birthday party theme....

New member of the family
MY SEWING FAMILY THAT IS!
I finally bought a new sewing machine.

Joining my two Kenmores is a beautiful Brother CS6000i, yes I did a brand change.
I wasn't looking for anything fancy right now just a machine that did the basics and if it had some cool feature, cherry on top. I was also on a very tight budget since buying a machine...

After planing and making all my undergarments it was time to start on my dress. I chose the colors Eggplant and Champagne because my bedding colors...
