First pair of...

Pants!!!  I'm so excited.  Now that I have made my first pair and see how easy it is I just need to figure out what size will fit best for the boys. 

The size pattern I used fit Bradley all over...I guess that is the width, but the rise was to long, the legs were to long and the waist was too tight. This size didn't fit Bryant at all.  They were too tight on his bottom, so he couldn't bind very well.  The waist was too tight, and the length was just a tad to short.  I think the rise was good. 

I hope I can get it right next time...just need to manipulate my patterns a little. 

These are the cutest little pants.  Since they didn't work for my boys...I sure hope they fit my pal, Henry.

Pumpkin dress and some other stuff...

I made this little dress for my niece.  My friend did the pumpkin applique for me and I put all the other pieces together.  Can you tell by now that I love this little A line dress?   I promise I am not a one hit wonder with this dress silhouette...it is cute, versatile and easy to make. 


















Coming soon...

The latest blanket-quilt...I'm excited about this one... 














I made these shorts and plan to get a shirt appliqued to match.  Can you guess what will be on the shirt?...
