We've been relaxing in Colorado, but I'm also getting projects finished. The thing of which I'm most proud though is helping oldest daughter pick out a sewing machine and teaching her to make t-shirt dresses.
The skirt on the first one turned out a little short,
but the second one is perfect,
especially after Rachel added a fabric flower and button necklace.
Can you tell Addy loves it?
I finished a Santa hat for Addy.
and have 2 more on the hook; a small one for Travis, at his mom's request, and a sparkly one for Rachel, who might have been just a
little jealous that Addy got the first one.
The infinity ripple scarf
- from a pattern I made up as I went and hope I can duplicate -
just needs to be blocked and the final seam sewn. Please to admire the charming model and ignore the unwoven ends . . .
Last but definitely not least, the Christmas tree quilt is absolutely, positively finished.
Binding hand-sewn, hanging sleeve attached, and Santa label (which Addy picked out at the quilt store) filled in.
And in a genius moment, I had Addy write her name on the label.
I'm imagining the fun Addy will have, years from now, looking back at her 6-year-old writing. And, just maybe, remembering all the fun she had with Grandma and PopPop.
