Matchers

Audrey's been taking sewing lessons again at the awesome Create Sewing Studio.  Even though she already made lounge pants when she spotted this Merry Berry cuddle by the fabulous Ann Kelle she had to make another pair.  These are so incredibly soft I may have to make some for myself! 

She also made this adorable top (Simplicity 2437) with some Pat Bravo Nature Elements she stole from my stash: )




This is school vacation week and Audrey asked if we could make a sewing project together.  Of course she picked out my favorite Flea Market Fancy print which I've been hoarding pondering how to use.  We decided to make skirts based on my favorite flirt skirt tutorial by Growing Home.  I did the cutting but she did all the sewing!

For Audrey's we modified the pattern to have a full elastic waist but she insisted that it had to have pockets!

Here we are, total matchers; )  These work up so quickly we were done in under 2 hours and we still had time to run over to Quilter's Way to show off what we made and pick some more fabrics for next time. 

Little projects are so nice for Friday finish link ups but next week when the kids head back to school I'll be going back to quilting so don't expect another full week of posts;-)

  3. Super cute skirts! I recently bought a sewing machine for my daughter (she is 8) but I'm not brave enough to try clothes. Maybe I'll have to look into the pattern you used.
