Little Aprons for Little People

Oh I can't believe I've done only 1 post for the most inspiring month of the year!?!? I have to admit, it's all delightful... ya know the things that have been taking up the most time. And tonight... well.... you guessed it, I wanted to play catch up and share what's been going on...

These adorable aprons have been selling out in my Etsy shop! Hooray!! Question for you all.... How many of you would be interested in a sewing pattern? For example, I create all my pieces by hand without patterns. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy, but I do jot down measurements. Creating a PDF downloadable pattern would be a great way to share how these darling aprons are made! Let me know in the comment section:)

A photo of these aprons just because the light hit them perfectly that sewing afternoon:)

*******************


Halloween festivities are all a go with my little girls that are getting big so very quickly. A witch and her cat as I like to call it.....



On a different note... I'm struggling slightly with how much I want to sew as far as Christmas gifts and what I'm realizing I'm capable of... but only time and what is left of it at the end of the day will tell. And... somewhere between putting more items up in the Etsy shop, (like the ones below), and these 'gifts' i'm working on.... I find myself thinking..."Craft Fair"....Seriously....





I love the colors of the aprons and the unisex baby blanket I made! And the blanket... how it washes so perfectly! I couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Here's to cooler October days and nights & hopefully more time for projects!
Happy trails!

What is musmula?

Look at these beauties. Finally, I find an answer to this question! The translation for the Turkish, Mediterranean fruit called 'musmula' is 'medlar'.  This exotic fruit that's a cross between a pear and a hawthorn is very unique and tasty. I owe great thanks to my grandfather for grafting this beauty in my yard. Sadly, I don't have any recipes regarding the medlar. But I have read that it is great for making preserves and jelly's. This is a tasty fall fruit that can only ripen after the first frost. I should really move them to a dry shelf until the pulp softens. Then, they're the best!

The Ogden Cami ~ A Review

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful February and a great start to March! Spring is right around the corner and I'm counting down to daylight savings on March 10th! Hooray for longer sunshine! Lately, I've been longing to go back to stitching up clothes. And... I ended up finding the cutest pattern to get me back in the groove at Hawthorne Threads . The Ogden Cami by True Bias Patterns is perfect and quite simple! I started off by making a test run with some red, light-weight fabric, figuring if this comes out good, I'll have 2 tops! And guess what? It came out awesome! Making a practice piece was a great idea. It's always recommended and there are so many reasons why. In the instructional booklet, I wrote myself little notes.  ~ cut the fabric 1/4" larger at the sides so I can use a serger. This will allow me to have finished ends and still a good seam allowance.  ~ cut the straps 1/2" larger, so the ...

Flying Geese ~ Etno Style

The fabric, the quality, the colors..... I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Etno Fabric Collection  by Pat Bravo!! The colors & shapes are always so inspiring. And as I was working on this project, new ideas were getting sparked. (So..... you're going to be checking out two more pieces I've been working on.) One thing is for sure. These gorgeous prints needed to be center of attention and what better way than with City Stitches Follow the Leader Quilt! All you can focus on is the way the colors play and blend together. The flying geese were made using the "no waste method". The large square (main fabric) measured 9-1/4" by 9-1/4" while the four small (white) squares were 4-7/8" by 4-7/8". This left me with four flying geese per one fabric pattern that measured 4" by 8".   I love the way this piece came out so much!  The fourth row of flying geese from the no waste method we...
