The Friday Photo

My granddaughter needed some mittens yesterday before going to walk our dogs. I don’t traffic in mittens, but this was a custom order I couldn’t turn down. Her brother will probably need some now too.

Sewing for a Jedi Knight
The Friday Photo
July 11, 2014
I’ve been at a loss as to what I can sew for my grandson. This week I realized I could make a pair of cargo shorts for him. His mother told me if I got Star Wars fabric he would never take them off. We’ll know soon how the Young Jedi Knight likes them.
Making pink lemonade

A weekly photo inspired by art, community and spontaneity

I have fallen in love with batik fabrics this spring. I love the
bright pink in this photo but the pattern I chose was an absolute disappointment.
I got a skirt out of my efforts but decided I would never be really happy with it.
Last night I cut the bottom part off, sewed a casing, and made it work for my granddaughter. Her favorite doll will also have a skirt to match soon. And remnants may appear on some of my upcycled goods.
And for me? I ordered the same fabric online and it arrived yesterday. I will
use a tried and true pattern for the second iteration of a summer skirt.
