This summer I was on the go with three kids pretty much on a constant basis. You'd think I wouldn't have had a chance to get anything "extra" done. I did, however, implement a rest time every afternoon. This allowed for some sewing time! I knocked out several projects that had been on my mental to-do list for a while so it felt great to get them done. I kept on sewing, thinking that this fall I could really hit it hard. Ironically, since school started I haven't even touched the sewing machine! A flood of other projects, school commitments, and an altogether different routine hasn't left much room for the "extra." Here's to hoping I don't have to wait until next summer to sew again. What I managed to squeeze in over the summer:
 |
| A superhero cape for a friend...and my first ever applique! |
 |
| One shopping trip for fabric brought out that I had never made anything for Cooper! So I made him a set of pillowcases from fabric that he picked out. |
 |
| Of course, once I realized how EASY pillowcases are, I couldn't stop! One for each girl came next. (Aren't my models cute??) |
 |
| Baby blanket! My cousin welcomed a baby boy this summer and I was so thrilled to have a baby to sew for. (I also threw together some burp cloths, but forgot to take a picture.) |
 |
| And another blanket for a friend's baby that will be here soon. |
 |
| Girls! Seems all the sewing ends up being for them! Penny LOVES it when her and Ellie match, so how could I resist TWO dresses from only one yard of fabric? |
