Sewing in August - I did some! My fabric stash increased this month when I visited my dear friend Mickie and her hubby Brad and her (OMG GORGEOUS) pupper Scout in Pennsylvania :) I met her awesome friend Carol, and Mickie and Carol presented me with a box of fabrics to use as I saw fit :D Talk about stash enhancement! We also did some shopping, went caving (loved it, and will be doing it again in October!), went out to eat, hung out, hugged and stuff - it was great :D This needs to be an annual thing - we had so much fun, and hubby was quite happy to hang out with Brad - what do you think, Mickie? :D
Here are a few of my August finishes - in no particular order, because I'm not organized enough to keep them in order, hehe.
 |
| A pirate pillowcase for a soon-to-be 7 year old :) |
 |
| Aprons on a windy day - some for gifts, some for donation :) |
 |
| Batman! The tutorial for this one is here - I made Batman in size 6-8 for a soon-to-be-6 year old :) The lining (back) fabric is the same Batman print that the pocket is made from :) The denim is upcyced from a pair of kids jeans ($1 from the thrift store :D) - it's a LEG! I left the seam in (off-set) so it would be obvious that this was made from jeans :D |
 |
| This Batman apron is for the younger brother of the recipient of the black/yellow Batman apron :D The tutorial is here ... this one is sized for about a 2-3 year old :) Same deal as the previous apron - lining is the same as the pocket print, and the apron itself is made from a leg from a pair of kids jeans :) |
 |
| This sweet little girl apron is made from a lovely heart print given to me by Mickie & Carol (see first paragraph :D) :) It's the same size and pattern as the denim apron directly above, from Peekaboo Pages :) |
 |
| This is a booboo apron :D I wanted to make an apron featuring an owl. I didn't have an owl print in stash, but this fall animals fabric does have owls; unfortunately I had a brain fart and fussy cut the FOX instead of the owl, when I was making the pocket! At that point I decided I would do Batman instead, so this apron will get donated, since it has the wrong animal guide, haha :D Same size (6-8) and pattern (Sew Liberatedas the first apron in this compilation :D |
 |
| More fabric from Mickie and Carol - perfect for an apron, I'd say! Same Sew Liberated apron as above, in size 6-8, and into the donation box she goes :) |
Right now I'm working on some superhero pencil cases for birthday gifts - there WILL be Batman. And Wonder Woman. And Ninja Turtles (or more Batman - I haven't decided) :D
