An advent for my sister (and I made one for myself at the same time and Emily helped make the animals on both). This is the "Woodland Animal Christmas Snow Globe" ADVENT from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/241363343/christmas-advent-calendar-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_8">SugarHouseShop</a> on etsy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this advent!! Love it! I made this for my sister because I had made her an advent in the early 90's that is really outdated. I think my sister still loves it because she puts it out each year but I don't love it 😉</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #ffd966;">(SKIP ALL THE WRITTING BELOW IF YOU DON'T CARE HOW IT WAS MADE)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made some alterations though after looking at these advents made by other people:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The sides of theirs pulled when the pockets where full. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I made pockets with gussets. Totally solved that problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. It's see through. And the felt looks cheap when see though. So I ironed Pellon Shape Flex interfacing (SF101) in white to the back before putting everything on. Totally Solved that problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. I trimmed about 5" off the top white felt so there was less white showing between top of globe and dowel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I only hand sewed the animals and embroidered the numbers. The instructions say to hand sew the the globe, tree, snow and base on to the background--I machine stitched. Also to hand sew the balls closed after inserting the magnets. I used a glue gun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. I didn't use any sequins. I'm not a sequins kind of girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. I ironed on Wonder Under between the globe, tree, etc so they stayed on while I machined sewed. I used pins too but the thing still sags a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end is a picture of the plastic slip cover I made for it when it's being stored for the year. It's like a giant pillow case and the snaps are on the top so if any ornaments fall off the are caught in the bottom of the bag. It can be hung for storage or rolled.</div>

I've had this swan fabric for 2 years or so and have only made Emily a dress (<a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2014/09/sally-dress-or-90s-baby-doll-dress.html">click here</a>). The reason is I love this fabric SOOOOO much and finding rayons that have a cool print is hard to come by. I don't understand why there aren't more. If they put out a fabric with a cool print then the color is odd. </div>

Anyway....I finally found THE pattern. I was looking through Jenny Gordy's instagram page (<a href="http://blog.shopwiksten.com/">wikstenmade</a>) and saw a photo of her and her husband. She was wearing a shirt that looks just like this one (the style not the print and it was buttoned at the neck)! I trolled the internet for a pattern and even bugged <a href="http://www.heyjunehandmade.com/">Adrianna</a> to see if she knew of one. Then I stumbled on this shirt pattern from <a href="http://www.deer-and-doe.com/">Deer and Doe</a>. It's the <a href="https://shop.deer-and-doe.fr/en/sewing-patterns/29-melilot-shirt-pattern.html">Melilot Shirt</a>. If you saw the shirt I was inspired by you'd say I did good finding something similar!! Even the sleeves look the same. I included the line drawing of the shirt so you can see the seams. I made view B and the collar from view A. I made a large but maybe could have gone down a size. Because of how the sleeves are, it fits weird when I put my arms all the way forward so if I went down in size I was worried I wouldn't be able to move my arms. It's made from a really drapey rayon challis bought on etsy from a shop in Hong Kong I think. About 2 years ago.</div>

Below is why I cut my head off . Angry much? The sun was in my eyes. Sort of. that's actually my RBF.</div>

And below is the pièce de résistance! A hidden placket! Because of the placket but mostly because I have to do this for fit, I made a toile. It helped me figure out what the instructions were trying to say regarding the placket. I loved the pattern but my only complaint is the instructions aren't as detailed as I like and I haven't done a hidden placket since the 90's! So making the top (without the collar) in a cheap fabric really helped. I don't make the whole top when making a toile. I usually do one sleeve and if it has a collar I leave that off. I don't do the buttons or zippers (I do zippers if it's a really fitted item) and don't hem it. I only make it to see what size I am. I'm curious what others do. You should see my toiles! This shirt I think is made from a yellow cotton and a hunter green cotton. It's hideous! I just made the Carolyn pj shorts from 3 different green cottons.</div>

So I have put together a little diagram showing the layout. These measurements are APPROXIMATE!! I must stress this. These measurements are also including the 1/4" seams. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say approximate because it's very hard to measure blocks and sashing on a finished quilt. Nothing really adds up perfectly. I made 4 of the purlsoho "lovely little forest quilts" exactly as the instructions except adding in some gnomes and then laid the quilts on the ground, slightly offset to see how I wanted it. I added some white sashing between the quilts and around it. </div>

Another <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/276407814/ryan-top-pdf-sewing-pattern-womens?ref=shop_home_active_1">Ryan Top</a> by Whitney Deal. My 2nd most favorite top like everrr!(<a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2016/06/ryan-top-1.html">here's the 1st favorite</a>) I used a rayon challis from <a href="https://www.fabric.com/buy/0432522/cotton-steel-fruit-dots-rayon-challis-cherries-navy?cm_vc=756b1813-cbc1-43b3-84bd-29889bf8fb7b">Cotton and Steel called fruit dots</a>. Again I made the large but I dropped the neck about 1/2" (can't even tell) and cut off the sleeves to make them shorter. I cut off about 2" at the top of the sleeve, tapering down as I went. I bound the neck and the sleeves with the same fabric bias binding. I love sewing it to the wrong side then folding it to the right side--I love the way it looks. I put the top on straight out of the dryer so it's a little wrinkled. I think this kind of neck and sleeve finish is very nice. I also did it <a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2014/09/sally-dress-or-90s-baby-doll-dress.html">here on Emily's swan dress</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh I also made the back piece (not the bodice) 2 pieces. I didn't want to waste yardage because it's only 45" wide and it would have made long skinny scraps after I cut everything. So I made it two piece. I was worried it would look bad but I think it looks fine.</div>

My most favorite top yet. I have worn this the most out of any top I've ever made! The pattern is the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/276407814/ryan-top-pdf-sewing-pattern-womens?ref=hp_rf">Ryan Top by Whitney Deal</a> in a size Large after making a muslin (I have a 36d bust and am 5'7") It calls for neck facings but I don't care for that kind of facings so I lined the whole bodice part in the same fabric as the top (only because it is a super lightweight fabric) . I used no interfacing. I did roll up the sleeves and top stitch them down. The fabric is the most softest, lightest lawn ever! F<a href="http://www.moodfabrics.com/black-chambray-cotton-lawn-108005.html">rom Mood</a>. I feel like I'm not wearing anything when I wear this shirt. </div>

I love this top! The pattern is super easy and quick depending on how you face/line the bodice. I made another one and used bias binding at the neck and arm. I'll post that next.</div>

A <a href="http://megannielsen.com/collections/childrens/products/mini-briar-sweater-and-tee">Mini Briar Sweatshirt</a> in size 6/7. Emily is 10 and thin (this fits Ava as well who is 8. It's just longer on her). Pattern by <a href="http://megannielsen.com/">Megan Nielsen</a>. The fabric is a really lovely knit terry that is nice and stretchy. I bought this and other colors at <a href="http://gstreetfabrics.com/">G Street Fabrics in Maryland</a>. I used a kangaroo pocket from another pattern and curved it to match the hem of the Briar. Ava is really into kangaroo pockets right now.</div>

I decided to do a freezer paper stencil with acrylic paint and fabric medium instead of heat transfer using my Silhouette because I'm getting irritated with the heat transfer not sticking as well as I'd like. This is the first time I've done a freezer paper stencil and found it to be really easy. BUT!!!! As I was painting it, I got "spazzy" (according to Emily) and slung paint several times so that's why there are extra hearts on the sleeves (her idea). There are supposed to be big hearts as elbow patches but the little ones are because "I did what I tell the girls not to do" (spazz) according to Emily...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to tear off a big piece of freezer paper way bigger than the image you're going to cut so when you iron it on, the excess covers the rest of the fabric and should you drop some paint or spazz, it will fall on the freezer paper not your fabric.</div>

I don't like how the neck kind of pulls but I think that's just how I sewed it. The next one I made I rounded the neck a little more and it helped. Also, I loved rolled/raw-edge hems but I think I'm going to add sleeve cuffs at least to this. I got the bunny design from the internet ages ago so I don't know who's it is.</div>

I saw this pattern after <a href="http://skirtastop.com/2015/11/24/mini-kitty-briar-virginia-leggings/">Kristen (from Skirt as top)</a> posted one and was instantly in love! </div>

I think this pattern is super easy and well written. I had no issues with it and have made it twice now. I also have the adult one to make myself some sweatshirts. </div>

A felt campfire for my sister! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister is a 4th grade teacher and every year they do something called <a href="http://www.american-historama.org/1841-1850-westward-expansion/westward-expansion.htm">Westward Expansion/the Pioneer trail </a>in her class (Emily did it in her class a couple months ago) It's an interactive game where students role play as settlers heading west on the wagon train. For one part of it my sister has the kids sit around a campfire. She had a paper campfire but it was falling apart sooo I made her a new one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was also her birthday present.</div>

I made this from looking at the one on the landofnod.com website, etsy sellers and tutorials/pictures found searching google. I'm contemplating making a pattern because mostly people are selling them already made. If you are a sewer it's really hard to buy finished products when you can sew it yourself! For cheaper. But I hate writing patterns so it may never happen.</div>

The fire is in two parts and has one layer of Timtex in between the felt. Emily suggested I not sew down the orange fire and let it be floppy.</div>

The rocks are all sewn onto the mat because kids are little turds and will play with the rocks. In a classroom this is not good. Besides it makes clean up really easy as everything folds up and goes neatly in an<a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10300036/#/40300285"> ikea shoe box</a>. </div>

We became good friends when I moved back home to San Diego. Her kids went to the same school as mine and it turns out we went to the same high school just different years and we even lived down the street from each other then. Moving so much makes it so I meet some really awesome people but it also means I move after meeting them. The last three places we were stationed were 1.5 years each. (insert sad face emogi)</div>

I made these circle cases way back before Christmas as Christmas presents. These two were for a friends kids. The pattern is from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreatedBlissfully/sold?ref=shopinfo_sales_leftnav">Jessica here</a> and the fabrics are from Japan (not the linings). I get most of my zippers from zippit on etsy. These are a nice size (about 8" across) and are perfect for all sorts of things. </div>

I loved making these! They aren't super easy but they aren't impossible. They went together much easier than <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24225734@N04/3425651181/in/photostream/">these bags</a>! </div>

A couple months ago I changed this photo (see original at end of post) to black and white then printed it on a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Printed-Treasures-Inkjet-Printable-Fabric/dp/B000A8BM5O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1454693588&sr=8-3&keywords=print+on+fabric">Printed Treasures Inkjet Printable Fabric sheet</a> and then embroidered the gnome. If you type in "embroidered photo" to Pinterest you'll see all the inspiration I saw. Some cool stuff there! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't have the printable fabric sheets it is possible to do it another way (probably many ways). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also printed a photo on bleached muslin by cutting a piece of bleached muslin a little smaller than an 8.5x11 printer paper. I then cut a piece of freezer paper 8.5x11 and ironed it to the muslin. I fed it through the printed and printed a black and white photo on it. It came out really really good! The freezer paper is to keep it stiff..you're not actually printing on the freezer paper.</div>

The photo is a little blurry but I loved it so much I didn't care. I have another one of the girls at this same spot from the year before that I want to embroider as well. Ava is also making a face in it!</div>

Yahoooooo! They are done! I finally made the cats an updated matching stocking and because my sister is spending Christmas with us, I had to make a "guest" one! At the end of the post is a picture of all the stockings together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">Just in case anyone wants to know, the stocking shape is from an old McCall's pattern. The over-all design of the stocking (the blue, red gingham, etc. and placement of it) is based on a Pottery Barn stocking from years ago. The island of the Misfits characters were made by finding images online (I also had help from </span><a href="http://createdblissfully.blogspot.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-decoration: none;">Jessica</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">) printing them out to the size I wanted. I traced, cut out and sewed them on. For the names, I sent blank pieces of white cotton to my friends mom in the states and paid her do it. The back of the stocking look exactly the same except for the decoration (characters) and they are fully lined.</span></div>

After finding the gnome and mountain from land of nod, I scoured etsy for any brass woodland figurines. There are a lot of brass figurines out there people! A lot. </div>

I took apart old stocking hangers and used the base for 2 of them and bought two bases for the other two (Target sells the plain bases in two-packs). I cleaned the animals with vinegar then glued them to the bases with E6000 glue. I primed the whole thing with a white primer. After that dried I spray painted them with a glossy spray paint and finished with a glossy clear coat. </div>

Below is a sew-together bag (<a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/sew-together-bag/36309" target="_blank">pattern from here</a>) I made her as well. You may remember this fabric from <a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2013/07/vintage-style-backpack-tote.html" target="_blank">another bag I made her a couple of years ago</a>. I don't know if she remembers but she wanted me to buy this fabric when I was visiting her in Japan. I'm sure she is thoroughly sick of this fabric by now:)</div>

I thought the pattern was ok to follow but when<a href="http://quiltbarn.blogspot.com/2014/03/sewalong-day-1.html" target="_blank"> I found this sew-along here</a>, I really liked the pattern! It really really helped. I've made two now but they were both for other people so I have no idea how practical they are or how much the hold, etc.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>**EDITED 10/23/2017 TO ADD A PHOTO OF THE BACK OF THE JET PACK AND A LITTLE MORE INFO**</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did not make the girls costumes this year! Only the jet packs (that double as a trick-or-treat bag!). I love making costumes but only if it's exciting to me and making a white jump suit with patches and buckles, etc. was not appealing especially when I could buy it already made. The helmets, jumpsuits, shoe covers and gloves are from amazon.com</div>

The <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/497436721320914567/" target="_blank">jet pack is from this Pinterest pin</a>. I had to make it by just looking at what this person had done so I included a photo that tells you what items I used to make them. What's not on the picture is that I used a white primer first then a silver metallic spray paint on the whole thing. I glued everything with a hot glue gun and made cris-crossing straps to keep it on the body out of black elastic. Also, the box you use has to be wide enough to fit the dyer hose.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girls would hold up the dryer hose to people handing out candy and they would drop the candy in. It then goes down into the box. Genius huh? Thank you to whoever thought this up!</div>

My 2nd <a href="http://www.shopwiksten.com/" target="_blank">Tova Top from Wiksten</a> (<a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2015/03/tova-top-flight-voile.html" target="_blank">you can see the 1st here</a>) . The fabric is a <i>sheer</i> <a href="http://www.moodfabrics.com/marc-jacobs-cayenne-brown-plaid-cotton-voile-302935.html" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs cotton voile</a> from Mood. The size is a large with no alterations to the size (I'm 5'7 with a 36D chest) I only shortened the sleeves . I underlined it in an also <i>sheer</i> white batiste (scroll down to see the garment from the inside). I love this top. love it! I wasn't so sure about the 1st one I made but I really like it now and wear it often. </div>

I did the front yoke (?) on the bias and underlined it in the same plaid on the bias. That was a tough decision and I had to google it but didn't have much luck finding advice on that topic (underlining or even just lining something on the bias and whether the lining should also be on the bias..or not). I did them both bias and love it. It worked great and has been washed several times and the yoke has not gone wonky or stretched out. I used that quilting basting spray stuff to keep my underlined fabric stuck to my outside fabric so it wouldn't shift while sewing.</div>

I made this top months ago when we were still living in San Diego but never blogged it. I have several things to blog....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Pattern:</b> <a href="http://www.tessuti-shop.com/products/alice-dress-top-pattern" target="_blank">Alice Top Tessuti patterns</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Fabric:</b> light weight seersucker plaid from Beverly's fabric about 2011</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Size:</b> Small (I'm not normally a small. Usually a medium or large but this runs huge)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lined the yoke in Anna Maria solid voile and NO interfacing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the sleeves I lined it in the same plaid and used NO interfacing. I added a piece to the armhole to close the arm hole up a bit. I cannot stand my skin touching skin in that area when I sweat so I had to add it! You can see it better 2 pictures down. Lastly, I did a 3" hem.</div>

Ottobre Pintuck top from the 5/2008 issue. You can see<a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2010/07/double-gauze-polka-dot.html" target="_blank"> #1</a> and <a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2010/07/ottobre-pintuck-top.html" target="_blank">#2</a> here. I gave Kelly my #3 but never blogged it. I don't even wear the two mentioned above. The black is too thick and the polka dot is too thin. But this one I'm blogging about now? It's just right..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric is a voile/lawn-like fabric from Joann's bought many many months ago (in fact this shirt was made months ago but I'm just now blogging it). I bought as much of it as I could and searched the other joanns in my area but no luck. I got it in a red and white stripe too. If anyone finds more and would ship to me, I would be forever grateful:)</div>

The pattern is pretty easy to follow. The above instructions are all that's given. I like pictures with my instructions but you don't get that with Ottobre magazine. I omitted the back seam and back yoke. I just cut the back on the fold. I didn't do pockets this time.</div>

I have another shirt to blog but we're moving! Moving across the country and Jon is finally coming home after 14 months in Korea. So I may or may not blog again till we get to DC.</div>

There are only 6 pictured but I made 7 ! Two yellow, two pink, two blue and one pirate. Four of them were for other kids. I have a lot of fabric to get rid of so I used up all this Oliver + S polka dot knit ( I was able to squeeze out one short pair and one long pair from each polka dot fabric). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pirate one is from a friend in Germany. She gave me a half yard which after receiving it I thought, what the hell am I going to do with 1/2 yard of this fabric?? Well probably a year later I found something! This pair is for my friend Kristine's son Hans. <b><i>All of these are size 5</i></b> with no changes to the pattern--only the amount of elastic used in the waist.</div>

As you can see, the shorter ones on Emily are too short. They really should start below her knees. And the long ones could be longer but the fit around waist and thighs is perfect (like I said, all of these are size 5).

I did it all on the serger (it took me 20 years or so to realize you can do knits on the serger easily!)Except the waist band channels; those were done on the sewing machine.</div>

Pattern is by <a href="http://www.shopwiksten.com/" target="_blank">Wiksten and called Tova</a>. The fabric is Birch Organic Voile, Flight in color River Rock. I took a very long time to decide if I wanted to make this top because I'm not a fan of the Mandarin collar. But some of the versions I've seen of this shirt made are really cute so I finally decided to make it. I also was disappointed in this fabric when it arrived. It's a weird grey. More like a putty/lilac/grey. Sooo hard to explain. I have a million colors of thread but I still had to go out and buy a color to match this. Anyway, I think I like it.....I had trouble photographing it (this is two different days and the colors don't quite match. I had my friend Lisa take some of them then went out just now and had Emily take the top photo and the bottom photo. I wanted to show all views. There was a side view too but that didn't come out.</div>

I altered the sleeves to be short (about 3" from the armpit). I made 2 muslin's (because I couldn't figure out what size I'd be) One in XL and one in Medium. I ended up making the Large. If it helps, I'm a 36D and 5 feet 7" tall but that's the only measurements you'll get from me:) "I'm big boned!" </div>

Oh and the pattern instructions were just ok. I didn't like the instructions being black and white photos and the fabrics used in the photos were hard to see. I researched and everyone I found said they loved the instructions. I guess I'm just difficult....</div>

My friend Deana sent us the book <u>Little Birds</u> (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Birds-Handmade-Projects-Collective/dp/160705003X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1426644101&sr=8-4&keywords=birds+sewing+book" target="_blank">amazon</a>) out of the blue and Emily immediately started flipping through it and landed on this Little Round bluebird below. We had been talking about her making her own pin cushion for her sewing box (see last picture) and somehow it was decided that this bluebird should be made into a Quack from one the girls favorite T.V. shows when they were younger, Peep and the Big Wide World. </div>

We copied the pattern at a reduced % and I made a pattern for the feet/hat/mouth. Emily cut every thing out and sewed it together. She's at the point where she doesn't need much direction from me. It's awesome! <a href="http://parrishplatz.blogspot.com/2011/01/big-blue-sailor.html" target="_blank">Kelly made the girls these awesome stuffed ones years ago</a>. </div>

Emily and her friend Sara are doing their 4th grade science fair project on carnivorous plants. Emily chose the Venus Fly Trap and Sara chose the Pitcher plant. I suggested Emily make her model from felt and she was excited to do it. I made up a pattern and cut the pieces out. But she sewed them herself. I also made up Sara's pattern and cut her pieces out but she sewed her's on her own too. All I did was get them started with one or two stitches. I really really think these turned out sooo awesome!! Emily's Venus Fly Trap will live on our book shelf for sure. Her's is all wool felt and Sara's is acrylic felt. The stems have wire in them and so does Sara's "lids".</div>

I'm hooked! These are so much fun and really make you think about design. I found tutorials and inspiration all over pinterest but <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2014/07/weaving-class-the-basics.html" target="_blank">the most help was from here</a>. My yarn is from Micheals and Joanns and the loom is from amazon. Here are the links for the two sizes I have (see last photo below): <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000IV3X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">big one</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000IVAB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">small one</a>. The big one is huge and I found it to be awkward to sit on the couch and do this.</div>

Oliver + S Ice Cream Dress/Tunic. I made a size 5 with an 8 size length. Ava's measurements are: 25" chest, 24" waist and 25" hip. She is 7 and about 45" tall. It's a perfect fit with not much room for growth. The fabric is Anna Maria Horner Voile from the Little Folks line.</div>

I've been in a sewing slump. I don't know what it is. The tiny apartment that's like a cave maybe or that I talk myself out of things. I spend way too much time going through my patterns and fabric trying to make a match and then can't decide. I do have stuff to show and blog though just not like I use to. </div>
