I saw this skirt pattern online and immediately thought of Taylor. When I visited in July I took all the measurements I needed, but it wasn’t until September that I finally got started on it. While doing the patchwork I thought the skirt probably should be lined. If I was going to the trouble of lining the skirt, why not make it reversible? I needed the help of some fellow Guild members to sort out the reversible aspect, but it all worked out in the end.
Taylor needed an update to her curtains. Christy and I took some time before we found something just right. We had settled on a Sesame Street theme but Christy changed her mind. We had taken so long to decide on a fabric (and she knows how long it takes me me to get things done) that Christy decided Taylor was too old for Sesame Street. We settled on this Cute as a Bug fabric from my local quilt store.
Taylor seems to be happy with our choice.
I found a pattern for a Hallowe’en costume that featured a hood with spikes and, after verifying with the boys that this would work, I bought some fabrics. Because the boys range in sizes I ended up making two mascot heads.
In order to hide their faces we purchased black nylons which were cut and pulled over their heads. Because of the flash on my camera their faces show more than they do in “real life”.
Will recently had a chance to be the mascot at Alex’s soccer game.
I have been looking at this pattern for a long time and decided that I’d give it a try this year. Plastic canvas always looks like it will go together quickly, but the truth is it takes a long time. And it takes even longer when you are making three.
The inside is fully lined, and the roof lifts up on one side. The house is full of Easter chocolates and candies.
