Sewing

I have had a busy and disjointed summer. I found this fun idea on the internet. Using a vintage pillowcase, you turn it into a lil girl's dress. Next time I will narrow the case before sewing, as the dress is way too big for Maddy. However, the making of the dress sparked me out of depression that had increased over this long wet winter, spring and part of the summer. We are packing for a second trip this year to go and kiss my lil monkey granddaughter. Hopefully, my daughter can take advantage to rest. We are borrowing a tent trailer and will soon be on our way. Hope you are all having a great summer. Give your friends and family a big hug. Take care friends !!!

Sewing Fun

Well I am having fun..I haven't sewn in awhile, but now that I have my new machine..look out..I like to sew fun and quick things..In the book "Sew what! Fleece" by Carol Jessop and Chaila Sekora (2007)..I found a fun pixie hat and booties.

...now when my children were born, grandmas knitted booties, hats and sweater...my daughter still have a beautiful pink cape made by her french-canadian grandma..but this grandma doesn't knit....

first picture is from the book...isn't it fun???

second one is mine..I made the size 6-9 months, so baby can wear them in the fall/winter on the prairies..

I am going to add ribbon and of course the bell on the toe..."so she will have music wherever she goes".

Should i tackle the hat???????...might be fun for a photo opp lol
