Fun Finds

Researched some new patterns today. Discovered Oliver+S patterns for children's clothes. Such cute patterns, can't wait to try them out. Also, cut out some pants from Britches and Bloomers--it is just the sweetest and easiest pattern to sew with. I have made a few other pairs and it is ALWAYS fun to find vintage fabrics for the britches or cute prints with polka dots for the bloomers. Annie, my daughter is my sewing muse! She is turning one soon and I am making her a little wardrobe for her birthday. I have already finished a few pairs of pants from Britches and Bloomers, some tops from Sew Functional; including a cupcake top made out of cupcake fabric with a pink and pink polka dot collar. I plan to make a trip to the Bobbins Nest this week to try to pick up some cute Moda fabric and maybe an Oliver+S pattern or two! I am also planning to pick up some Amy Butler fabric at Yarn Paper Scissors in Burlingame--they have the MOST fun selection of fabrics from Amy Butler. Now, I just need to find more time in the day between drives to preschool and park outings to Sew!!!

Good Day

Worked on the studio--Stored lots of fabric, brought back memories of things I have sewn. Also finished a skirt from Make It Perfect. Love the patterns, the best part is picking simply scrumpteous fabrics to put together.
