Catching Up

New Michael Miller fabric

I'm planning to sew a few baby outfits with these coordinating fabrics

My great-niece is having a birthday next month and I'm sewing a few shirts for her.  Her birthday theme is Barbie so I'm making her a shirt for her birthday party but I wanted to do a few other shirts for her.  Just a double ruffle on this one with a covered button.

This can be her 4th of July shirt..... a verticle ruffle and a fabric flower.

Sloan's 4th of July towel

Grayson's 4th towel

I'm few on words because I'm sleepy :)

More info tomorrow!

Seersucker Tie & Knot Dress

Little sister "knot" dress.  I've never really made clothing but I really want to learn to sew more cute things for babies and children.  My daughter was the inspiration behind this idea.  I made the little sister dress in pink and white seersucker and white seersucker for the bodice.

I learned that I do not need to do the largest monogram on a 0-3 months dress.....smaller might be better. I didn't do top stitching on the bodice because it would overlap the monogram.

I am very happy with my first dress.  I plan to do many more.  Next is red seersucker with maybe a crab on the bodice!

Big brother's matching tie.  I used the same pink seersucker for brother's tie.  What's so great about this pattern is that it has a band with Velcro instead of actually having to tie the tie around a little fellow's neck.

Matching little sis and big brother

I can't believe I made a dress and a tie!

Only 2 more half days of school!

Happy Thursday!

Weekend Projects Finished

Finished Annabelle's gifts today.  Her dad is a coach, her grandfather is a coach and her great-grandfather was a coach so she might be a cheerleader one day :)

Added a triple layer of small ruffles

My step granddaughter is graduating from high school tomorrow.  We are so proud of her.  Just a few little gifts for her as she goes off to college.  I wanted everything to kinda match.

And................ a chocolate salty treat.  If you like brownies and if you like crunchy & salty, too.  You might like this.  A friend brought some to school and I had to make them.  If you want to try them you can find the recipe here.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
