And now, what you’ve all been waiting for…

Pictures! Woo-hoo! Now you can see what I spent my Saturday doing–making purses for our nieces who are about to turn 5. And start kindergarten. Some kind of nerve, those girls have. Anyway, one digs pink and one prefers purple. You can see which is which, I call one “Explosion at the Pink Factory” and the other “Purple Power.”

And here is the first purse I made with this pattern, which just goes to show how really cool it can look if you use coordinated fabrics from the same line (in this case, Amy Butler fabric. Also an Amy Butler pattern.) I really like this one. I just like to look at it and smile.

And finally, some pictures of the most recent dress I made for my daughter while I was technically on vacation. I promise, next thing I make will be for me! Like a skirt! I really like this green and white paisley fabric. It’s like stretchy twill. Notice the cute little sleeves? This is the combo I used for Lucy’s purse a couple weeks ago. Plain cotton is much, much easier to sew with for this than stretchy twill. And once Carolyn’s jumper is finished drying, I might get a picture of that too.

Have a great weekend!
