A big new bag for mama

This was a kinda-UFO that I finished last week in stash game. It's pre-patch cord/etc from JA that I've been hoarding since last year for this exact purpose. It came sewn together in strips like that, and I topstitched/quilted them to interfacing and thin fleece. I'm really loving this bag. I made it to replace a cute Avon bag that I drove into the ground last week, just cut to the same size as the old bag, and added a few inches to the handle length. I carry all my "stuff" to work, it will hold my lunch, knitting, water bottle and whatever else I for-some-reason need to haul around with me.

With a side of my unmade bed:


I intentionally cut the strips for the handles a bit crooked within the strips of the fabric, and I think it looks really neat... although I forgot to actually take a good pic of it.

Summer jammies and more

Ooga Booga for Dillon, monkeys for Lucas.

Undies for Lucas (did I already show these?), and a pirate sun hat for Dillon.

Gotta love my sister

I made Sarah a tank top from my beloved Ooga Booga fabric - she's originally asked if I'd make her a pillowcase with it, after she fell in love with Lucas's OB outfit. I wasn't quite willing to part with that much of the fabric, so I made this for her instead. I was too impatient to wait for her to give me her measurements, so I guessed, and it turned out perfectly. Think she likes it?



I also made her another tank from watermelon fabric, though I don't have a modeling shot of this one.
