Whole lot of sewing going on

Spring Break Week

First, headbands to match outfits.

The unicorn ribbon is just for fun because Ava made up a song about unicorns.

This blue fabric is my favorite and I think her blue eyes will look even bluer when she wears this.

I decided not to follow the directions for this dress and ended up ripping seams twice and finally cutting the lining to make it work.

Little girl loves pink, so I added pink rickrack.

This was super easy to make after I got over my fear of the split neckline.

This knit was easy but had a jillion pieces. The pattern has several cute variations.

This may be good for a nightgown.

The neck closes with elastic and a button. Of course I didn't have the elastic and thought I could add it later - in a hurry to sew. I had to be creative to get the elastic in the finished seam.

Super easy shorts with no side seams.

Another pattern that I didn't exactly follow but it turned out better than the blue dress.

The photo doesn't show the short sleeves.

No quilts cut out or worked on this week but I had fun sewing for Ava.

Leaving in a few minutes to take these to her.

Spring Break means time to sew!

Last Sunday I cut out and finished the T-shirt below. This makes 6 tops from the pattern. It took me about 2 hours to cut out and sew it. This is the first time I have made the V neck style. It is such a  comfortable shirt.

Mischief the cat had to inspect my work above.

Below is a mug rug that I finished yesterday.

The kit came as a bonus with my Calendar Girls.

I added the swirl fabric on the left side to make it a little bigger.

Saturday I drove to a quilt shop (Stitch N Frame) that I don't regularly visit. It is about an hour drive from my house and there are two shops that are closer to my house.  

When I want something different I make a little road trip out of shopping there. The drive home is very peaceful on a winding back country road.

My sewing plans are very fluid. I had thought to start Good Fortune but after finding the fabric below, I decided that Spring Break is a great time to sew for granddaughter Ava. I'm going to start with the knit above and make the dress with short sleeves.

I love the blue print above and will make the dress for her. I used the pattern to make the apron for her Christmas present.  

She loves pink and I loved the flowers and the stripes. I'm going to make the stripes into the dress on the top left without the ruffle. The flowers and pink leaves will be the same view but with the pink on the yoke and ruffle. The flowers will be in the middle. Hope that works. 

Linking up with Peacock Party if I am not too late.

Thanks, Wendy, for hosting.
