Just a couple of simple projects for today.
Last year I made some shorts (see Super Five) mainly because it was hot and I needed some more of them. The same goes for this year, so I whipped up some more. I used some knit fabric I got at SAS, 2 yards at $1.99/yard. I used the same pattern as last year too. Since the pattern only needs like 1/2 a yard and I find cutting fabric relaxing, I ended up make four pairs of super comfy shorts. Maybe this should be like a tradition. Warm weather = homemade shorts.
Now, my niece is learning how to sew by hand. To encourage her I gave her one of my 18 inch dolls (see Give Me a Doll with Hair). I thought it would be fun for her to sew clothes for it. To help her out a bit I decided to whip up a few simple sewing patterns for her to use. Now she can make a dress, a pair of shorts, a small bag, and a strange armless doll-sized doll. I couldn’t resist whipping out the stamps to decorate the envelope for them. It has the word “patterns” stamped repeatedly all over it. Now she’s all set.
Here’s the updated list:
