Last Hurrah

Kids pooped out trick or treating after 45 minutes or so, so I got a few more stitches in this evening. A new Thanksgiving twirl with turkey applique, long sleeves into last month's Hello Kitty hoodie dress (was also going to sew some into the Chicago Bears dress, but I can't find them!!), and a pillowcase for a birthday party DD just got invited to.

Phew! How did everyone else do? My stash looks as bad as ever, but it was a fun month!

Swap Dress

Not quite done, but here it is. I made a cutting mistake on the white shirt and had to make it an applique. Then I accidentally used the 'no-sew' heat bond, which is thick and stiff, darn-it. Then, when it put the dress in the wash, it started to peel! I ironed it again and will wash it one more time to see what happens. Otherwise I'll zig-zag it down. The back panel of the dress is the same Caribean scene on the bloomers. I tried to flare the skirt by adding some side triangles.

I'm also including a bonus twirl...

More pillows!

I'll need to replace the Halloween pillows soon! One for me, one for Mom.

Gobble Gobble!

Hats for twins

I made these hats for a friend's twins....I don't have twins but I like the idea of coordinated but not totally matching.

I Heart Comfy Clothes

I have a severe addiction to cute sweatshirts. Who doesn't want to be comfy and still look decent :) I have had the green J Crew sweatshirt for many years and I wear it all the time. (I also have it in blue and black) The pink french terry I used has a metallic silver stripe and is Juicy Couture fabric....ooh la la so fancy. Now I have to make a few more because a bunch of my friends want them now.

Girl Pirate!

The colors are cooler than in the picture, some magenta around Elizabeth. The kids are seeing some not-often-seen cousins tomorrow, so this should be fun for Raegan!

Happy Birthday!

It's my friend Deborah's birthday today. I have no idea when I'll see her next, but her present is ready. Another buttercup bag by Rae. So fun!
