New Pajamas

  New fabric + new pattern = new pajamas!

I've been seeing a lot of posts out there using Rae's Flashback skinny tee pattern.  The little ones are in need of new pajamas, so I jumped on the bandwagon and bought myself a copy.

I found this fabric in the clearance section at Joann's, which was 50% off last weekend!  Major score.  

I made the pants using a pattern in Growing Up Sew Liberated.

Both patterns are really easy to follow and the sizing was right on.  I've made pants and tees before, but I've always traced a piece of clothing to make the pattern.  It's nice to have a ready to go, sized right pattern.

Just for Fun Top

So, do you think anybody will notice if I wear ruched-sleeve tops all Spring?

I couldn't help myself, I made another Spring top...just for fun.  

This time I did a boatneck and longer sleeves, and I love it. 

It's the little things...

Sometimes it's those little projects that can be so satisfying. 

 I have been meaning to re-cover this chair cushion for quite some time.  My good friend Roselee, from Jane of All Trades, and I made a trip up to Keene, NH to check out a new-to-us fabric store.  

I wasn't sure about this fabric, but it was a decent price, so I bought it.  And oh how I love it!  Last night I kept peeking out my window at the chair.  I'm sure my neighbors thought I was going crazy.

 

 Another simple project I've made recently was this fabric basket and bean bag set.  We have some little friends turning 1, and thought this would be perfect. The great part about this project is that in constructing the basket, you cut out 4x4 squares to make the bottom and so your bean bag pieces are already cut.  How great is that!

 So simple and so satisfying.
