New Fabric

So, here's my new mini stash to add to my not so mini one in the sewing room. Not sure what the Dick and Jane fabric's gonna' be for...it was just too cute not to pick up a bit. Maybe a zippered pouch for me? The orange is going to be a lunch bag and a pencil case for my daughter, with the dots for the lining. She's MADLY in love with penguins, and when I saw this, I knew she'd have a fit over it. I was right. She's beside herself excited over it. :) Feels good to know you picked the right one, hmm? I'll have to show you stuff as I get it ready for back to school in the next few weeks.

New Dress

I had ordered this material a while back, (It's from the Chocolate Lollipop line from Anna Maria Horner--Love her!) and Little Bit fell madly in love with it and wanted a dress made out of it, so here it is, her very own creation, though I picked the pattern. I did have to add a strip to the bottom, however, to make up for the fact that she grew a lot since I cut it out...my own fault...I think it was March or April when I cut the thing out. I shouldn't have waited so long to get it sewn up! But she loves it. And it suits her. It really does.
