Have you noticed I've been a little absent lately? Well, sorry about that... I have a lot of things to share with you! I just pulled 1,053 (not joking) photos off my camera and am ready to spread the love. So, what's been keeping me so busy lately? Sewing!
Fabri-Quilt has been keeping me super busy sewing things for them to take to market. How cool is that? Stuff I've made is going to be there. It's almost like sending a foot or something... maybe? Maybe I'm sort of there? Anyway... here's the fabricy goodness:
From Paintbrush Studio's fabric line titled "Frenzy" we have this men's shirt and swim trunks.
The pattern for both of these pieces is KWIK-SEW 3421.
I have a fabulous husband who I can sucker into doing things like this: modeling the shirt for me. Don't ya think he looks pretty fly?
I think this turned out really cute. It's a dress made from Butterick B5313 using Paintbrush Studio's "Oasis" fabric line.
I named the model Judy. Don't you think she looks like a Judy?
Out of all the things I sewed for Fabri-Quilt's market booths, these are my favorites. I love aprons! They are all from McCall's pattern M5825.
The first two aprons are from "Farmer John's Market II", another Paintbrush Studios fabric line.
I made an oven mitt to go with this one. And don't you like these photos of me? I think they have an Anthropologie look to them. Kind of drab coloring. It was so windy and cloudy on the only day I had to take these. Why does that always happen?
P.S. I took these myself because the hubs was at work. Don't judge them too much. :)
This one is from Paintbrush Studio's "Astral Summer" fabric line.
And this is from Fabri-Quilt's "Flower Power" fabric line. When I dropped off these aprons, they named this the June Cleaver pattern. I like this pattern the best.
They liked it so much, they sent me home with fabric from Paintbrush Studio's "State Flowers" fabric line to make another "June Cleaver".
I might have to make myself a new apron out of something fabulous in this pattern. I think it's cute and fits me well. Maybe I need a gingerbread competition apron? We'll see...
I didn't take photos of EVERYTHING I sewed. Seriously... I have thirteen empty bolts from stuff I've sewn over the past month or so. I also made curtains to hang in the booths, chair covers, and pole covers. That stuff just isn't as fun to share.
I had a little helper throughout all of these projects. When I was sewing the curtains, I'd do them in batches according to thread color. I'd have mounds of fabric that I'd do one seam on and put into a new pile. Lily thought these mounds were the perfect napping spots for her.
Don't worry, I ironed and lint rolled them all before I turned them in. :)
