A little early

Not only is it a little early to be posting today but I'm a little premature in making a little spring dress for my little "who" this year. I whipped this up last night after I put her to bed. It's very easy - straps, bodice front and back with lining, skirt front and back with ruffle... She actually wanted to wear it this morning which is always the best reward for making something!

Weekend Projects

I was feeling a little ambitious/curious about the possibility of making some pants for my little "who" and wanted to get crazy with the serger. The result: two pair of knit pants with double lettuce ruffled edge! I think they turned out nicely (not to mention quickly).

So after some fit throwing she finally let me get a few pics. She's 2 after all...

And a preview for my mom of the pincushion organizer I made for her as a late Christmas hostess present. Thanks for spoiling all of us! In case you just need to make one of these, a free pdf pattern for this organizer can be found here.

Happy projecting!

Finishing up for the Holidays

Nearly done for Christmas break...

The tote bags I made for the kids - Kallie and her adorable little friends (I made 6 but there are only 3 that weren't wrapped by the time I thought to snap a shot...) but I still need to put goodies in them for delivery.

And the gorgeous tree quilt!! After making the whole quilt once before (turned 90 such that the tree ran horizontally across the bed... ARRRGGHHH!!!!) I completed the second one just in time... And they are both beautiful, though the first would make a better wall hanging.


Not to worry, I will still be sewing on vacation. My mom has purchased a brand new Bernina 630 for me to use while I visit. What a mom!
