Early May Projects

Not yet two weeks into May and I have finished several projects.

First, I made little finger puppets for my preschool choir kids.

They sang about Noah and the Ark, so I made these wolves.

Surely wolves were on the ark?

Next, it was David's 10th birthday.

I asked what he wanted and he replied - a costume.

He chose a Renaissance doublet like I made for Noah Lesh several years ago.

Since I couldn't get the same fabric as the first doublet, Emily suggested anything with gold.

I found this maroon and gold decorator fabric at a local shop.

I added a gold cotton lining, gold trim, and gold buttons.

The finished doublet.

I used my serger and sewing machine.

There are 19 buttons! Four on each sleeve and eleven on the front.

Instead of buttonholes I used gold cord loops.

It will take help to get dressed in this heavy coat.

After the costume I finished a skirt and shoulder bag for Miss Ava.

This is the baguette pattern with an adjustable strap.

The lining is two pink fabrics because I didn't have enough of either one.

The baby quilt I shared in the previous post is now finished.

I used a multicolored stripe for the binding.

What's sewing at your place?

Happy sewing!
