Summer Top


This is Simplicity 2892.  I used cotton gauze fabric, purchased from a website called Gorgeous Fabrics (www.gorgeousfabrics.com).  I LOVE the light weight of this fabric.  It feels and looks like summer!  I can't say I enjoyed sewing with it though.  It frayed all over the place (made me wish I had a serger) and stretched when I ironed it lightly.  Its fragile to say the least!  I do love the outcome though.

Bubble Dress




I saw this Oliver and S Bubble Dress made with Park Slope Turquoise fabric on the Spool Sewing website.  I liked it so much I made two just like it.

Robot PJs



I love Oliver and S patterns.  I used the Bedtime Story Pajamas pattern and flannel purchased at Joann's Fabrics to make these PJs for my son.  The pattern itself really couldn't have been easier, although now that the PJs are finished, I think they might be a little on the warm side.  I'd like to make them again with a light cotton.

Polka Dot Jacket




I made this jacket using the Oliver and S Sunday Brunch Jacket pattern.  I used a fine wale corduroy I purchased online.  I can't remember where!
