Another finish!

 Our wee granddaughter is turning two this month and what grandmother doesn't know that a little girl needs wardrobe enhancement?  So, this happened...


Pattern is the Infinite A-line Dress from Bonnie and Blithe and can be found HERE.    

- If you're on a quest to use up fabric scraps, perhaps THIS might catch your eye.

- If you're a fan of chai tea, perhaps you'd like to try THIS?

Sky, postponed, in favour of this....

 Never let it be said that I lack determination!  I purchased that bee-themed fabric you saw in my previous post with the idea of making a little dress for our wee grandie.  Then I got to wondering...would there happen to be enough to maybe, just maybe, make her a matching diaper cover too.  And then the wondering took another turn, and perhaps there MIGHT be just enough to make a little hat to match.  After much twisting and turning and sqeeeeeeezing the fabric, I got enough...phew.  


Dress is McCall's 6944, reversible hat is from HERE, and the diaper cover pattern came from HERE 

And....Resident Chef appeared in my sewing room doorway with a bouquet he'd picked from his balcony garden...now chopped up and in the freezer for winter-time use.



- Take a stroll (scroll) through THESE.  

- THESE are fun to see.  

- I'm going to give THIS a try because I have some tarnished necklaces that I haven't been able to wear. 

-There's an excellent article HERE about slow stitching.

- You know I love denim, so of course THIS artist caught my eye.
