Did you sew for an hour yesterday? I must admit that I did not. Tuesdays are super hectic and by the time I could sew, I really needed to work on business things. I promise I will do better today! I have a huge stack of towels and fabric ready for hooded towels. I was supposed to have them ready by April…not that anyone paid me to have them by April…or paid me at all for that matter. April was just my own goal. Who knows why. But, hey, May is the new April.
(Ack! I get so distracted. This is really what a conversation with me is like. Ask my husband. He has to reign me in all the time.)
Anyway I’ve also be contemplating an outfit for my niece. I’m so excited that I have another little girl to sew for! And my cousin is having a baby girl too!!! YAY! (There I go, down the rabbit hole.) Which one should I do first?
Where are these from? They are sooooo cute!! I love the double-layer looking tunic!
They are from Ottobre magazine.
super super cute! I should have their magazines in the shop pretty soon!
What she said!
The first one. No wait, the second one. No wait, the first one. Oh crap… they’re both cute! If it makes you feel any better I
1.) Was suppose to have a blanket done for my friends baby shower… last month. I’m still dreading putting on the border. I just hope to have it finished before the baby is born… next week. and
2.) am constantly going down rabbit holes.
It does make me feel better. Thank you!
Hello.
That was a fun day. Your fabrics are awesome! Very cool. I will definitely add you to my favs and will be in touch when I need some fabrics!
I am visiting from Sheyb’s blog. I believe I sat by you at lunch at Bloggy Bootcamp! You got that little corner of shade and I was 1/2 in 1/2 out! Glad our silverware wasn’t burning hot.
Yay! Thanks for visiting. Yes, you’re right. We were lucky to not have hot silverware. The waiter said my butter was the only un-melted butter he’d seen….so I was super lucky. LOL
Stephanie – that’s the latest edition of Ottobre.
I just made those capri-length leggings for my daughter and I was surprised at how tight they turned out given that I went a size up. Unusual for Ottobre patterns. That top is on my list, too. So cute!
Ha ha! you answered while I was answering. Thank you! So the leggings ran small…hmmm. good to know!
Oh, nice, I haven’t seen that anywhere. It seems like most toddler girls clothing is either PJ’s or dressy, and my toddler gets into paint and glue and sand and that doesn’t go with dressy! I’ll have to look for this magazine.
I LOVE that issue of Ottobre! I have fabric and a pattern picked out for my 5 year old from it!
I can’t wait to see what you picked out!
Love the double layer tunic too…that gets my vote! I went super basic with a tank repurposed as a dress last night (used Patty Reed’s Got Cows? fabric…too cute!), but am hoping to get started on a birthday party outfit for my oh-so-close to 3 year old tonight:)
Super easy totally counts! What do you have planned for the soon-to-be 3 year old? yay for birthday party outfits!
Hi, I stopped by from SheyB’s blog and so happy I did. I am subscribed to your feed now and plan on checking out your store. I like the way the site is set up. I’m looking forward to reading thru some of your older posts. Have a great Wednesday! Linda
Thanks for stopping by, Linda!!!!
I’m here from SheyB. Your talent is amazing. So many beautiful things you’ve sewn. Keep up the excellent work.

Okay, that was a toughy, yeah, the first one. I just think it’s a bit different and I’d like to see what you do with it.
However, I’m on serger-hunt right now. I have just a cheapo overlock by “White”, but I want something that sews too so that I can start buying knit and knit patterns!!!! Tell me what you’re using if you don’t mind
Thanks so much!
-Wendy
Oh Wendy! Did you know that I have an entire blog series of buying/using a serger started…but not finished. Maybe I need to finish those for these upcoming knits! I have a viking….I’ll look up the number for you!
Get rid of the white. Trust me. you’ll be glad you did 
(although your husband might not feel the same way.)
I love those! Now, I am off to enjoy the rest of your blog. I made a pillow last night….
I’m a newbie at sewing, but loving it!
Oh boy…talk about distractions…how will I ever get anything done, much less pack, with all this beautiful fabric of yours to look at and all your blog posts to read…ugh. Stopping in from Shey’s blog to say hello and procrastinate…
i was not planning on sewing yesterday.. but i did! i did 15 minutes of sewing and i made a bow for my nephew! basically in the morning, my sis-in-law saw the bow i already made and loved it. she said it would be perfect if she had one for her and her son for their party on friday. my parents were heading back home that evening at 6pm (they live by my brother-in-law) so i came home from work and QUICKLY sewed another matching bow together!! phew! my parents made their flight too!! ok, i’m going to sew an apron now!!!
I love your creativity and your use of fabrics. Wish I had the time and energy you do-plus I love the top you did. Will definatly be checking back to see what else you are up to.
I was just reading through the comments and noticed that you plan to stock Ottobre Magazine. Great!!
I came over here from SheyB. I hate those days that I want to sew (and hope to have the time to sew) and then it just doesn’t happen! That seems to happen to me a lot with three young kids running around the house!
I think you should do the lime jacket- it’s too cute
hehe- and btw, I heart the aqua and red fabric in the photo 
I came over from SheyB..Im a newbie at sewing and am really starting to like it!!
Just found you through SheyB. So glad I found your site!
Whichever you decide to sew first will be delightful, I’m sure. I just love Ottobre designs. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
