LOVE

this little guy!!

A VERY DEAR friend requested I make one of these for her daughter...(but it will have a really cute ruffle at the bottom...and it will be in red gingham)...well, i couldn't find a pattern for exactly what I wanted so I created the pattern myself! Anyway, I am currently obsessed with criss- cross straps! I have made several bubbles for Hunt with these kind of straps. Anyway, how cute will this be in the winter with a turtle neck under it! I have two more in the making and plan on doing one for Maggie with ruffles, too! And I can really think of a thousand other things I would do to it...monogram, applique,etc...I will post more pictures of the other ones I make when they are completed!

The Button Down!

This is about the most detailed(well, at the top of the list) sewing project I have encountered! It goes right up there with smocking and constructing a bishop. This is a button down I am making for Tyner. It is this great looking brown and cream linen! As you can see I have quite a few more steps...like the other sleeve, cuffs, button, button holes and hem. It has been quite a task but I must say I am ready to tackle another one!
