wiksterwick

I crossed a Wiksten top with a Butterwick vintage jumpsuit patterns and this is what I got. (Fabric from Sew Green)

Autumn simplicity

Coat adapted from vintage Simplicity pattern. All supplies from Sew Green.

the girl in her summer hats

Two hats I made for Antea this Summer - both with fabric from Sew Green. I have uploaded the template and instructions here.
The blue fabric had me discover the beauty of wax fabrics - especially the outstanding designs of Vlisco.
Oh - and Antea has learned how to say "hat" (except she says "hatti").

mr. rabbit, mr. rabbit, your fabric is very thin

Antea's toy that she sleeps with is Mr. Bobby, the rabbit.  It has gotten so worn out that it is fraying all over. I keep darning it but it is just a mess so I decided to replicate it in the hopes she would take to the new one ("Bunny 2").
I am very happy with the result but Antea was first suspicious, then amused, and now she politely ignores the impostor.
In any case here is the template I made for Bunny 2 following these instructions. The template doesn't include seam allowances.
I used a fat quarter I got at Sew Green.

Antea has a new summer top :)
The fabric and all the notions are from Sew Green :))

(on the top image you can also see the hanger I made - I wrapped a plastic hanger following this method except I used ribbon rather than strips of cloth)

Sleepy time girl

Antea outgrew her sleepsack. I really liked this one so I copied it and made a larger version. There is a lot of room for her to grow now!
We got some beautiful fabric at Quilter's Corner. The fabric motif was upside down on the shoulder straps so I embroidered a little bird right side up to lull Antea to sleep. She always points at it when we are getting her ready for bed.

Mexican oil cloth bibs

When I lived in Austin, one of my favorite places to go was El Interior in Clarskville. I wanted to buy the whole shop. The weekend before I left I made two stops: one at Allens Boots to get the gift I promised myself (real Texas-made cowboy boots); and one at El Interior to stash up on tons of Mexican oil cloth and some little gifts for Antea.
You can download the template for them here.
I made some double-side bibs for when she starts eating solids which should be soon. She will be 6 months tomorrow. It feels I never lived a day when she wasn't here.
