more sewing

Hello again. I've been trying to sew some more. Here's what I've been working on in the last few weeks:


This shirt. It's made with Simplicity 3681 (I shortened it into a shirt) which I've made 4 times now. It's a great pattern and fairly quick. I've had the fabric since last summer, planning to use it for a shirt or skirt. I like how it turned out. (I had Dan take a few shots that included my head. I must have a really weird head, because it looked really weird in every picture.)


I made 3 pairs of pj pants for Charlie. The boy is almost as tall as Sam! Sam and he wear the same size of pj pants (almost) and Sam is unwilling to give any to Charlie. Charlie is also unwilling to wear any that used to belong to Sam. So he got some of his very own. Sorry - there's no picture, but I did use up some of my stash! (Including some brown fabric which I had cut a dress out of but never sewed it up. It's really ugly for a dress, I'm not sure what I was thinking, but it was also at least 6 years ago so . . .)


I've also been quilting my red and white quilt on the machine. Should be done sometime soon . . .


Next on the sewing list is to make this apron out of this fabric. I'm so excited about it! Isn't it cute?

Love the shirt, want to make one tonight. LOVE the apron. I would also be super excited to use that fabric. Did you actually buy the pattern or are you just going to wing it. Never mind, you shouldn't answer that as it's a small blogging community.

Have I mentioned how much I love your blog? So inspiring.

What a cute shirt! It looks great on you Leigh. And you look skinny.

Thanks Sara :)

And Marianne - I actually did buy the pattern. I've been looking at these aprons for over a year now telling myself that I'll figure it out one day. But then the seller came out with this pattern and I bought it. Much easier. There will be a few changes I'll make, of course.

I love your shirt a lot, and you do look good.
