I love Kona colors….
Nightfall, Buttercup, Bahama, Azure, Aqua, Peacock, Turquoise, and Jade… I’m soooo thrilled that I have the new Kona color yard. Just looking at it gets me inspired… I’ve decided my favorite color is Lagoon. And my bedroom is the exact color of Pacific. I cut up a bunch o strips of the aforementioned colors, and […]
baby sewing…
Another version of my next pattern, (woven cotton sleep sack with swaddle wings)… this time in Kona Modern Quilts (merlot colorway), and the inside is Kona Cerise: I was able to try it on a 5 week old yesterday to test sizing, placement, and it was SO perfect. LOVE it. (This version is going to […]
Scrap/vintage sewing
I made this sunsuit from one of those vintage patterns I bought last month… it’s a size 1, and I mostly wanted to see the construction and assembly… I think it came out cute enough that I’ll draft a larger version for the Bean later this summer… I used leftover Essex Linen in awesome Hot […]
A boy doll for the Bean’s boy…
My daughter’s love is a little boy called Pickle (fate, right?). For his birthday she and I decided he needed a boy doll so he didn’t always have to play with the girl dolls. She chose the Eddie doll from Wee Wonderfuls, and we made it yesterday and today. I used the scraps from the […]
A bag.
as part of passing on a board position at the kiddos’ preschool, I made a bag to hold the 1st VP binder…. I used some stash gaberdine, some lovely circa 1934 dots (won during the White Elephant at the LAMQG retreat), and some Quilters Linen (LOOOOOVE) I put pockets inside for pens, keys, etc, and […]
Happy Birthday to my sister…
I was asked to make a Keyka Lou zip clutch from some new fabrics by RK, but wasn’t sure about how they would appear on the finished bag, so I decided to test the pattern… I used some scraps, which happened to match this bag… the finished bag was super cute, the pattern was awesome, […]
HENRY THE FOX
Posing with D in front of the fox fabric from A Walk In The Woods, at Sew Modern. Knit up in a rush, because this boy loves his stuffed animals. Clothes to come soon.
Quilters Linen Chopsticks quilt
I finished this one late at night, so only have midnight pics. The purple and tan quilters linen from last week got turned into this quilt. Chopsticks by Jaybird Quilts. I
Another bag…
This puppy needs a name. I made another one to test my pattern, and I LOVE it. (BTW, if any of you love this bag as much as I do, I’d love a pattern tester!) My sister’s birthday is coming up, and that blue is her favorite color, so I think it’s headed her way, […]
Beach School Sewing, finale.
a set of pencil bags for all the kids in one family (1 boy, 2 girls, all coordinating so they can’t fight over them!) beachy pot-holders vintage-y potholders and then just a little playing around… I was thinking of making a little bag for my new phone, but it might need to be turned into […]
