A Helping Hand

My neighbor wanted to get a pottery barn kids Easter basket for her 1 year old son, but there were no boy colors left. So...she grabbed a basket with a liner at JoAnn's. She also got this fabric to make her own liner since she really wanted blue. We took the liner apart to make a pattern, and then she went to work.

L did a great job on her first sewing project! All I did was supervise and embroider Evan's name. This is only the beginning of all the great projects L will work on in her lifetime. I just may have another sewing buddy in the works.

And I'll have an awesome project for next Easter season! Anyone want to grab a clearance basket after Easter and put in your orders for a monogrammed liner?!?!?!? I think I will!

And those orders just keep coming!!!

Totes/Big Brother Shirt

This has been a busy sewing week for me. A couple of the teachers at our neighborhood school asked me to make totes to give as gifts to their student teachers who are finishing up student teaching. It seems I've gotten a little more exposure since donating several items to the school's silent auction. I love making things for others to enjoy!

One of those same teachers is about to become a Great Aunt again, so she also asked me to make a big bro shirt for her nephew. I'm loving these little shirts and all the possible combinations of fabrics to use on them.
