From The Sewing Room

I've been spending some time in the sewing room.  Feels good!  I still need to finish up those quilts in progress that I showed a while back, but here's some stuff I've finished in the meantime.

Sweet little size 3 dress was a UFO from when our Little Friends were visiting.  It just needed the neckline finished, but I lost motivation when they left, so it sat for quite a while.  I recently added some FOE to it to finish it up, and put it away.  I'm a little sad there's no one here to wear it.  I think it turned out cute.

Miss Katie in all her bath hair glory, modeling one of 3 pairs of PJ shorts I made for her.  (T-shirt used to be Eli's, but Katie wears it to bed now.)

There's the other two.  I feel like I can barely get away with the Baby B'gosh fabric.  She's 6 and a half.  But it's too cute not to use, so PJs it is.  I aspire to make tops for these, but who knows if that will actually happen or not?

Still working my way through the "shopping accident" I had at Fabric.com a while back.  I just love these prints!  This set is for Katie.

And this is an in-progress shot of Hannah's skirt.  The skirt and her top are done now, but I don't have a picture.  I'll try to show the girls wearing these next week.

I traced off one of my LLR Carly dresses so I could sew my own, and this is my first try.  It's wearable, but I want to tweak the neckline a bit next time.

Speaking of LLR, I also made myself a pair of panda leggings!  I used a commercial pattern for these, and they came out too big and too long at first.  I hacked them and re-hemmed them, cutting off a bit of the excess width in the process, but they're still a little on the loose side.  Very comfy, though!  They're lycra.  And they make me smile.

I still need to finish up the quilts that I have started for Project Linus.  I think I have almost enough squares to be done with the large square one.  I've been cutting a square of whatever I'm working on (as long as it's an appropriate fabric) as I make stuff.
