Dear Friends,
I hope you had a great weekend and you're ready to transition into fall. Michael is still playing catch up with the yard since our trip. After being gone for three weeks and a week of rain, it looks like a jungle out there! I went to Jo~Ann's and I'm ready to get back into the sewing room after a nine month hiatus. I guess it's kind of fitting since September is National Sewing Month. I can't believe it's been that long!
I was looking for some fleece to make Shylee a jacket. It won't be long before it's chilly enough to wear one at the bus stop. {I may have forgot to mention she started pre-k last week and rides the bus like the big kids!} There are so many choices of fleece that it was kind of overwhelming at first, but I settled on this bright design that I think she will like for a jacket.
I also picked up this annual Stamptington publication. It's one of my favorites with ideas for all the holidays throughout the year.
I also picked up this publication.
I've read about it on other blogs and this is the first time I've seen it anywhere. It's full of sewing projects and ideas and I just had to bring it home with me. I was inspired by this gorgeous book cover on page 104.
I was tickled to find this bird pillow on page 70 made by my sweet blog friend, Maureen, from
Maureen Cracknell Handmade. Her blog is one of my favorite sewing blogs. It's packed full of color, pattern, ideas and creative projects. I'm always inspired by her work.
I'm ready to straighten up the sewing room and get started sewing again! What are you looking forward to?
