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;-)

Ready to Retreat

I didn't intend for this to be such a quiet week but I've been busy getting ready for this weekend's BMQG quilt retreat.  It's really hard to plan what you're going to do with 48 hours of dedicated quilting time so as you can see I packed everything but the kitchen sink.  My goal is to knock one quilt off my TBQ list and to piece another quilt top but I have a feeling there may be a few distractions;-)  Check back next week to see how I did!

Of course there had to be some sewing going on...  it was feeling so spring-like here I started thinking about the days when I wouldn't be drowning in corduroy and wool so when I saw this adorable Flirt Skirt tutorial on Pinterest I had to try it.  The fabric is one of my favorite Jennifer Paganelli prints, Amanda Fleur from Pretty Please (again from stash: ).  It's a little big but I'll definitely be making it again with a few adjustments.
