Creating things and chasing impulses
“Spring?” you question, puzzled “But it’s October and you don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere.”
Yeah, sure don’t. But perhaps my tardiness can be inspo for all of the Aussies and Kiwis and whoever else is fixin’ to start their warm weather sewing! And I also figured I could slip this one in before it got seriously cold here; once the snow starts flying these nice green pics might make me sad. Ha.
Meet my Deer & Doe Reglisse
Oh hi there. It’s been a while, but here I am again with some Mama and me goodness! I can’t even believe it’s the last day of July.
Today I bring you some dresses for Peaches and me, straight from some delicious Fabric Mart cotton voile. Nothing says Summer comfort quite like voile, right?
Happy Summer Solstice! Why not read about my last make for Easter (exactly two months ago) whilst enjoying the longest day of the year? In Southern Wisconsin we’re looking at a lovely 15 hours and 22 minutes of daylight: well earned in the dark of Winter.
Also, this is my 250th blog post! Took almost seven years. 😂
Last but not least, here’s Peaches’ dress! Another Baby Jaimesyn by Simple Life Pattern Company. You can see what Cheeks and I wore in these previous posts. I had designs to make daddy a tie, but I ran out of time. Sorry for the short end of the stick, Mr. 5. :(
Happy Easter, almost a couple of weeks late!
I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks whipping up some Easter goodness for me and the kiddies. I had designs to also make Mr. 5 at least a tie and hopefully a bonnet for Peaches, but time gave out on me, as you can see. Sorry, hubby. :(
Those are quite the three words, eh?
Blue. Velvet. Jumpsuit.
This is the only jumpsuit I’ve ever owned as an adult, and as no surprise with that information, the first I’ve ever sewn for myself. Definitely not my usual speed sewing-wise, but I have been wanting to try my hand at sewing a jumpsuit for a while now, and was pretty intrigued by Papercut Patterns Sierra Jumpsuit.
